We are an autistic led fashion and lifestyle brand that celebrates neurodiversity.
Our story begins in a coffee shop... On one of my (fairly regular) trips to get my caffeine fix and maybe getting some creative inspiration, I was stuck in a queue. Now that may seem uneventful to some, but for me, my autistic experience informs my heightened sense of personal space and sometimes anxiety. Think of it being like a car driving so close behind you that you might have a crash if you stop. It makes you uncomfortable and might even cause you to panic.
I decided that I needed something that told be people that I am autistic and preferred a bit of space. Whilst I may often look 'okay,' I can get overwhelmed. I thought enough was enough and set myself the task of designing a one-off t-shirt that would hope to help people understand more about my, and others', experiences. <\/p>
I still have to deal with queues day-to-day but now I can proudly declare that I'm autistic. So can you with this clickable collection of clothes! <\/p>
