I often feel like a walking contradiction (thanks AuDHD), like why do I get both the Autistic sense of justice AND the fear of being perceived?? 🤦🏼‍♀️ #Autistic #actuallyautistic

It has been a WEEK and I'm not going to lie, I'm struggling. The Autistic fear of being perceived is strong right now and I'm all sorts of dysregulated. I'm trying to focus on the small things that bring me joy: yarn mail 🧶 #knit #crochet @apothecaryfiberco.bsky.social

LYS Day Haul from Black Mountain Yarn Shop and Friends & Fiberworks. Have you ever touched La Bien Aimee's Cashmerino yarn? Gives me all the good sensory feels. 🧶 Also, I love the Della Q bag. My first car was a green bug💓 #LYS #knit #crochet

If a business owner makes ableist statements and spreads misinformation, we usually don't want to buy from them. What response would you need to see from the business owner to support them/buy from them again? See photo for more info. #knit 🧶 #crochet #autism #Autistic #disabilityjustice

I'm writing an article/video about the Knit Stars-Autism controversy. I'm reviewing Shelley Brander's book where she claims to cure her son's Autism. What questions do you have that you'd like to be addressed in the article/video? What response would you like from Knit Stars? 🧶 #Knit #knitstars

This is also what Autism looks like: pure Autistic joy. I'm so excited & happy to meet someone I've looked up to (Toni Lipsey), talk about a shared interest & my latest crochet pattern design, the Hook Knot Needles Cowl. People need to see ALL aspects of Autism. #autistic #crochet 🧶

Looking for crochet and knitting pattern/project recommendations for using a single-ply fingering weight yarn. Are there any project types you wouldn't recommend when using a single-ply yarn? I've only ever used a bulky single-ply and it pilled like immediately. #crochet #knit 🧶

Ross, from the Wee Yarn Company (and fellow Autistic) summarized the problems with #Knitstars perfectly in the caption of his post. By spreading misinformation, it directly harms Autistic people. Please take a few moments to read it: www.instagram.com/p/DIYaVkGIj6... #knit 🧶 #crochet

Before you watch or support #knitstars please research Shelley Brander and her extremely problematic spread of misinformation of Autism. To be clear: Autism is not something that needs to be cured, nor can it be by just changing your diet. #knit #crochet 🧶

Looking for book recommendations for a crochet stitch dictionary. "The New Crochet Stitch Dictionary" does not work for me as it is all charts with no written explanations (no shade, just doesn't work for my neurospicy brain). What do you recommend? 🧶 #crochet

I have never been big on blocking my crochet/knits but it is a game-changer with granny squares and mitered squares. These squares are for my new pattern coming soon 😉 Are you a triple threat stitcher? (Crochet, Knit, Tunisian crochet? 🧶
