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 Bees
Great idea, our autistic community is awesome! Thanks for sharing! I definitely agree we should be supporting our neurokin.
I have found loads of autistic owned shops on Etsy, some of which you mention.
Here are some other autistic owned businesses I like:
Aut-Couture - autistic led fashion brand:

Aucademy Autistic Pride clothing:

The NeuroSpicy Club - I recently bought a new autistic pride phone case from this store! It is brilliant!

My new phone case is above!
NeuroDivers
https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/NeuroDivers - I received some brilliant birthday presents from this shop.
Nice! I'll go check them out. ta :)
Hi again Bees
We seem to share a passion for our autistic community, would you agree? Also, just another thought, the directory we are compiling could be featured in the Spectrum magazine or another soon to be published magazine called Autistic Revolution:

You are very welcome! I’ll keep looking too!
That's great. :D Thanks for getting in touch with them. I'll have a look for more to add to the list.
I have received a reply from Autistic Revolution magazine:
Here it is:
’We are so pleased youve chosen AR to showcase ND affirming buisness as one of our main core values is to raise ND voices and their buisness.’
In fact, compiling such a list has been one of our to do jobs which we haven't gotten around to doing it yet.(smile)
This would feature in every issue which would evolve over time to reflect whats out there.‘
Ver exciting! This is all thanks to your brilliant initial idea!
I have just contacted the Autistic Revolution magazine via Facebook, thanks to autistic hyper focus!
π Bees π (they/them) Autism resources in bio #stoptheshock #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs said:even if submissions are closed rn they may open up again for future publications in which case they could keep hold of the idea to use later.
Exactly! I am just waiting for a response!
You are very welcome! Are you enjoying your degree?
