  • I can't see anything wrong with it.

    We see plenty of stuff about that is produced by disabled people of all types.  People market stuff as made by 'starving artists' (who in reality are from the far east and are exploited by a marketing company.

    If you think that advertising the fact you are autistic will help your business, then give it a try.  But think carefully whether in fact it will be to your advantage.  I think you will be judged on the quality of your work, not on the fact you are autistic.  Most people will buy on this basis and not as a form of patronising you because of your autism.  And there is no reason why the quality of your work should fall below that of others producing work of a similar type who are not autistic.

    Good luck with your enterprise.
