Hi all, since we need to look out for eachother and all have bills to pay I thought it might be nice to make a thread to serve as a directory of autistic owned businesses, and autistic allied businesses where profits go directly to the care of an autistic person. Whether that's a big or small business or self employed.Here is a short list I have collected so far:Pin badges (Pawsitive Pins, UK based)https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/PawsitivePins
Stim/fidget Toys (Fidgety Fingerz, UK based)https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FidgetyFingerz
Cards (owned by NAS75030)www.etsy.com/UK/shop/deadgooddoodles Sensory Direct (ear defenders, weighted blankets, etc)https://www.sensorydirect.com/
Lanyards, pins, bangles, keyrings (DoodleBeth)https://www.etsy.com/shop/Doodlebethshop
Know another autistic owned or autistic allied business? Pls add it below... VMy DMs are also open to everyone so if you run an small business or are self employed yourself and afraid of falling foul of rule 8 then you can send me the link privately and I can share it here.
Hi there! I don't know if this counts exactly but I'm an Autistic Children's Author (Sophie McLelland) who has a series of books about disabilities! The series is on Amazon and it's called My Friends Are Different.
Congratulations! That's a big achievement! We should definitely support your business, when did you start writing books?
Thank you so much! I started writing them at the start of this year, published the first one on July 23rd and then published another 18! My latest book includes British Sign Language throughout it for accessibility!
You are very welcome! You have definitely come to the right place (this autistic community) for promotion and interest in your books!
As your books cover neurodivergence and disability, would you consider posting about your business on the Scope disability community forum?
I am sure you would reach an ideal audience this way:

Thank you so much!

Good luck with this book, I hope it receives great reviews!
I seem to have quite a talent for producing books so quickly! I have another 5 books in the making currently.
