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.
You've done a good job with that. Have you had good feedback?
Thank you! Feedback has been amazing from parental communities and school settings, I've had almost 100 orders which is crazy!
I've recently pitched my latest book to a bookstore to see if they'll place it on shelves so fingers crossed!
Absolutely! I hope your ambition for your books to be stocked in schools becomes a reality!
Schools for sure, start the education where it's needed! If all our young ones can learn about differences hopefully we can start normalising them.
Oh brilliant. What's the dream, to be used in schools or to be stocked in stores?
