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.
Hopefully!
Aw that's a shame. :( Hopefully it will be seen eventually tho.
Hi Bees
I replied to Battykatt and asked about their business but I don’t think they saw my reply either.
Hey BattyKatt I realise under forum rules we aren't allowed to self promote but if you DM me (my DMS are open to all logged in members) I can post it here. (Also sorry I didn't see your reply until now.)
That’s great, the businesses just have to be autistic/ND owned. We would love to know more about it! What is it called?
I do have a business but it isn't specifically for autism products. It's just an online store selling stuff for eco conscious women. I can message you if you still want the details.
That’s ok. I hope the birthday party goes well! Thanks for the compliment, I shall send it them!
Sadly I haven't found anymore as I've been busy organising a birthday party when I'm not nursing myself back to health at the moment, but 3 pages is certainly enough to get the ball rolling, great work Ausomely. :D I think you should sent it and see what they say.
Anymore service/shops? The directory is currently 3 pages long! If not, shall I send to the Autistic Revolution magazine?
That's ok, enjoy your movie watching!
Thanks. I'm really on and off today - like how my brain feels lol, so I'm only doing short replies at most today. Nothing that requires a lot of brain power. I think I'll just watch movies and zone out this evening.
π Bees π (they/them) Autism resources in bio #stoptheshock #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs said:Thank you for all your help, you've been amazing.
Likewise, it was all your idea in the first place!
I hope you feel better soon and get some rest!
I will send the directory in a Word document when I have finished it.
Thanks, I only came in to read messages today mostly. I'm gonna have to go offline again and get some Lemsip soon though. Thank you for all your help, you've been amazing.
Yes that’s fine! I hope your brain fog clears!
Yes ofc, as you have already been in contact with them and I've come down with the flu would yu mind if I left that in your hands? I'm in such a brain fog I worry I wouldn't be able to comple it neatly.
Hi again Bees
Do you think we should copy this growing directory into a Word document or Excel spreadsheet so we can then send it to the Autistic Revolution magazine?
