I had hoped to post this sooner, but sometimes life has different plans. 😥Thank you to all those who have reached out to me with such positive and constructive feedback. Please keep them coming. 🤗I see you, thank you for seeing me. I, however, wasn’t ready for some of the negative feedback and “ableist” advice so freely given to me by those whom themselves are not . Autism and other “hidden disabilities” aren’t always easy to talk about by some, but it is so important that we do. These topics are not just some cause to bring awareness to during the month of April; they are the beginning of , which then leads to embracing inclusivity because of our differences, not despite them.
I am offering my original Autism Acceptance symbol, “Hidden in Plain View” aka The Mask (lol), in a variety of ways. Please contact me if you want to see it offered in any other way or have any questions or requests. I have teamed up with Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network (AWN), and 20% of all proceeds will be donated to their remarkable organization. If you would like to contribute directly to them, click https://awnnetwork.org/donate-to-awn/. If you are interested in reading my post about the inspiration behind “Hidden in Plain View”, click https://justbecauseproject.org/2022/03/hidden-in-plain-view/. Please follow Just Kind Gifts and on Twitter and IG for updates on this project and others.
Finally, with so many requests to use this image outside of www.JustKindGIfts.com, we have prepared 3 ways a customized digital copy can be obtained. Please contact me to learn more about personal use, team building, and commercial sales opportunities. And as always, be kind to each other and yourself.
