zonderlingen – knitting in the dark

I was miffed that there was no new ThinkGeek Neurodiversity shirt today, so I made a thing. Not that this needs to go on a shirt, but making the thing was fun and surprisingly stimmy and nice to look at so yeah, ‘s all good.

This is my first year after lots and lots of struggle and insecurity and stuff and finally understanding why my brain works the way it does. I’ve seen and experienced last year’s April. It was damn hurtful at times, even for someone pretty new to all the A$ fear mongering. Awareness? No, thanks. Acceptance? Yes! And celebrate the heck out of neurodivergence. So I made a thing that makes me happy. Maybe it makes someone else happy, too.
