Trump promised an "answer" to Autism at 4pm today. It's now 4:42pm and still hasn't started. Goes to show how much they know about Autistic people. We notoriously love unpredictability and don't care about punctuality /sarcasm #trump #autism #actuallyautistic

A review found that 90% of autistic people aged over 50 in Britain are either undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, and the same is likely true in other countries. Our middle-aged & older autistic people deserve proper supports NOW after a lifetime without accommodations. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The real horror show: Trump & his administration. #Autism #autistic #rfkjr #trump

Autism is not a horror show. I'm Autistic and an attorney and I have a message for the Preaident: You, Mr. President, and your legacy, are the horror show. #autism #autistic #trump #Whitehouse #trumpadministration youtube.com/shorts/ns3L6...

Looking Glass Falls in Pisgah National Forest near Asheville, NC. Knitting + moving water brings me such joy as an Autistic person and helps regulate my nervous system. We must protect our National Parks & National Forests. This was free (minus the cost of yarn & needles lol) 🧶 #knit #autistic

Also, idk why Icy Hot markets almost exclusively to athletes...they would make bank targeting knitters and crocheters with our carpal tunnel. It's the only thing that soothes my crochet claw. 😂 #knit #crochet 🧶

Trying to knit with Addi's rocket turbo metal needles and Pima cotton yarn...oof im going to have to break out the Icy Hot. #knit 🧶

Ran out of space for the hash tags lol #crochet #craftivism #fiberarts 🧶 #craft

Yes! I always like to refer people to this Cleveland Clinic article that does a great job of explaining Neurodiversity and has a list of the conditions that fall under the umbrella term, "Neurodiversity." I hope you'll join us! 😊 #neurodivergent my.clevelandclinic.org/health/sympt...

Look at this SQUISH! These colors are magnificent and its giving me all the dopamine 🥳 🧶 Colorway: All The Gum by @sockobsessionyarns.bsky.social #knit

You're so right! But that would be hilarious 😂 #knit #crochet #yarn 🧶

I want to know why Bravo doesn't have a reality show about the Knitting/Crochet Community!? The Craft Snark Subreddit alone should be good enough as a pitch...Just brainstorming possible show names: The Real Partners of Rhinebeck Million Dollar Stash? Project Rhinebeck Sweater? 🧶 #knit #crochet

I'm moving so help me avoid packing & shop these handmade crochet amigurumi plushies that I just added to my Etsy Shop with Free Shipping! Plus, you can help out an Autistic, Woman-Owned Business at the same time! Win-win-win (insert Michael Scott reference) #Crochet 🧶 neurostitches.etsy.com

Hi, we are an alternative to Amazon-owned Audible 👋🏻 With us, you select the independent bookshop you want to support (we have 3,000+ partners across the globe), and we share profits from your purchase with them. We're also employee-owned and a registered Social Purpose Corporation.

If you haven't yet, you should follow my friend and dyer, Courtney of Apothecary Fiber Co! She is an incredibly talented dyer and I also interviewed her on the NeuroStitches Business Podcast so check that out too! #knit #crochet 🧶

Nothing like a move to get an Adhd person to transform into Marie Kondo. I'm destashing in my Etsy Shop with free shipping. I have a lot of colors of Big Twist Posh from Joann. There is a 2-skein order minimum for the Big Twist Posh skeins. #crochet #knit 🧶 neurostitches.etsy.com/listing/4335...

For my fellow moving water Autistic folks: #actuallyautistic #NationalParks #publiclands

I'm AuDHD & we're in the process of moving. I'm struggling: dealing with change (even if it's change I want), strangers coming in & out of my home, & disruptions to my routine. But I took to the Blue Ridge Parkway this weekend & I'm feeling better for now. We must protect our public lands. 🧶 #knit

YES!!

My latest Craftivism project for FO Friday is in honor of Amazon Prime Day. Shop local or small businesses instead! Bookshop.org has free shipping, audiobooks, & supports independent bookstores. We have to take back this country from manchild-tech bro-billionaires #craftivist #crochet 🧶

I knew what a knit seed stitch looked like, but until today I didn't know HOW people did it...🙉 Now that I know what it entails...idk how people DO it lol 🙅🏼‍♀️ 🧶 #knit

As an Autistic woman who has had 2 ectopic pregnancies, I have experienced this: "Some research suggests that many autistic people are hypersensitive to pain, making the dismissal of their ectopic and delivery-related pain, respectively, even more consequential." Thank you for writing about this 👏

People who can knit or crochet while reading a physical book are wizards 🪄 Like you're amazing...I, on the other hand, can listen to an audio book at 1.5x speed while crocheting or knitting 😂 🧶 #crochet #knit

I finally got my Vyvanse refilled...on a somewhat related note: I apologize for the 5-page newsletter I sent out yesterday to the NeuroStitches email list 😂 In my defense, I only send out 1 letter per month and I missed May & June (see above about Vyvanse refill). #knit 🧶 #crochet #adhd #audhd

This is so pretty and reminds me of my crochet pattern, Hook Knot Needles Cowl! #crochet #knit 🧶

If you love yarn, knitting, crochet, neurodiversity, then you'll love the NeuroStitches Business Podcast! I interview Neurodivergent business owners in the fiber arts industry. So grab your WIP & stitch along with us 🧶 #neurodiversity #knit #crochet youtu.be/_4GHTLiquaU

We will use their horrific agenda to turn voters against them by the millions in the midterms. And yes, there will be midterms. Don’t even think about voicing defeatism and doing their work for them.

@aoc.bsky.social says calling Republican Congressional Reps works! Please watch and share. We have to work on simplifying what is in this bill so normal Americans can understand that they are being LIED to by Republicans.

'Big Beautiful Bill' -Send to a Republican/MAGA you know. AOC says calling actually works, ESPECIALLY if your reps are Republican. Screenshot the last screen for a link, steps, and a script that will take less than 5 minutes. Not legal advice,only for educational purposes. #taxtherich #callyourreps

Fellow Knitters, I need your input/advice: What is the best sweater pattern that is worked in the round, beginner-friendly, and size-inclusive? 🧶 #knit

You may call it stitching, but I call it stimming. I love the fiber arts community! 🧶 #knit #crochet youtube.com/shorts/FH9JK...

Love the idea of #StitchSits (More of a stitch stand in Ada’s case!)

Oh how lovely! 😍🧶 More of this, everywhere please! 🙏🏻 Community art is unifying and healing in so many ways, for groups and individuals 🙏🏻🫶🏻✌🏻 #YarnArt #StreetArt #AGoodPlace

Honestly, there should be a whole feed dedicated to pictures of pets taking over projects lol 🧶 ...working title: Stitch Sits 😂 #knit #crochet

Oh I love this!! Hope you enjoy 😊

But this does not mean that it's officially out of the bill. Republicans can try to insert it on the floor. The Democrats would need to raise a point of order, which would then require 60 votes to include it in the bill. Republicans would need SEVEN Democrats to join them to keep it in the bill

Working on a new crochet pattern for a shawl! I'm loving the way it's turning out. I'm almost done writing it up before I send it to my tech editor 🥳 (yarn deets in the alt text) 🧶 #crochet

👏👏👏 LOVE THIS

I love the idea of using your feet at the same time...it seems very meditative. I'm a process crocheter/knitter so if I dont enjoy making it, I won't do it lol. I sent out this question because it seemed like all beginners learn on drop spindles but they don't appeal to me as much so thank you!! 😊

Spinners of BlueSky! What would you recommend for a first-time, beginner spinner to use when spinning fiber? I already have the fiber! I really like the idea of the spinning wheels where you use your feet but is that too much for a beginner? #knit #crochet #yarn 🧶

Crochet with me while I call some Republican senators. AOC said it's important to call Republican congress people. I'm Autistic and I hate phone calls but I hate fascists more. We must speak up! #craftivism #nokings #crochet 🧶 youtube.com/shorts/iTKRY...

Sunshine & Flowers, from the Summer Garden Collection. Beautiful yarn inspired by colourful blossoming flowers and lush greenery. Soft merino/nylon speckled with radiant floral hues reminiscent of warm days and refreshing breezes. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet www.mothyandthesquid.com

This video is a little over two years old, and gives some history of relatively recent craftivism projects. Worth a watch to help cheer and encourage you during these times. #knitsky #craftsky 🧶 youtu.be/PQRSuVCJ0Qk

Watch the 2nd Episode of the NeuroStitches Business Podcast on YouTube where we talk about the joys & struggles we face as Autistic, self-employed yarn addicts. Courtney is a very talented dyer so grab your WIP & stitch along with us! #crochet #knit 🧶 #neurodiversity youtu.be/KJGSl1Ir2U0

To be clear, I'm not talking about just the advent thing (that was just an example) but I'm also talking about when some dyers don't have crochet swatches or samples made up in their regular collections. A lot of dyers have improved in including crochet and I really appreciate that! 🧶 #knit #crochet

I'll never understand the dyers who leave out crocheters. If you're including a knitting pattern as part of your advent, you should also include a crochet pattern. Also, from a business perspective crocheters use about 30% more yarn so you would literally sell more yarn lol 🧶 #knit #crochet
