Art for Autism

Hi! I'm Sharon, and I'm an adult with Autism. My grandmother taught me how to crochet at age 8, and since then, it's been a valuable tool to help with my sensory challenges. There came a point when I realized no one person needs 15 blankets, 25 purses, and 42 coasters. It was time to start selling! However, I wanted not only to sell items, but to use the opportunity to support the adult Autism community. I wasn't diagnosed until well into adulthood, and although there are increasingly more resources for children with Autism, many organizations don't place much focus on adults. Part of the proceeds of my store will be donated to a local Nashville, TN charity that specifically supports adults.
