#autistic crocheter

I made this guy over the weekend. His name is Frog, pronounced Fraug. He's the happiest duck in a frog outfit ever :3

Here's the pattern: https://laststitchontheleft.wordpress.com/2021/10/18/duckfrog/

Starting a new hobby is always a risk because I might just drop it a week later when I'm not instantly good at it.

The neurodivergent urge to start a new overpriced hobby

I give you…this funky little guy I made as a silly little fidget toy for myself

I made him when I was still starting crocheting, so he’s a little wonky and I’m not too sure what he’s supposed to be, but he’s cute so it’s fine teehee

(I wish I could link the pattern but I can’t find it lol)

I want to put some positivity out there

So, I've been attending knitting groups and maybe it's my town maybe it's the craft but it's a bit of a safe haven for autistic/ND people. Some people in these groups have come forward and mention their diagnoses and how knitting groups really help them because:

-You don't have to make eye contact while talking to people because you're looking at your work

-You can "fidget" aka knit while talking to people and it's not distracting

-You can sit there the whole time and barely say anything and still be very welcome

-It doesn't have to be knitting, crochet, embroidery beading ect can come to the table

-You can bring one project or be like me and bring half your project stash in to go from one project to the next because bird-brain.

-There's no obligation to go or stay for the whole time. When your social battery is depleted people get it.

So if you knit, crochet or craft in any other way allow me to recommend going to a local group. Your results may vary but I've found the crafting community is worth taking a chance on.

So I have a nervous stim where I rub the palm of my hand and I’ve rubbed it completely raw. I’ve been really struggling to find a way to not do it so my hand can heal. I made this, super simple, single crochet in a round that fits around my hand, attach a chain around the thumb and then more single crochet. So far it’s worked pretty well. I can still rub it, and I don’t damage the skin more. So yeah this is a thing

"How do you know you're autistic"

I'm watching a guy collect all 4.000 variations of armor in Minecraft Hardcore while crocheting exactly 2.016 star stitches for a bag I saw like five blurry photos of on a blog last updated in 2016 on a Japanese blogging platform and I immediately decided I needed to have that exact bag down to the stitch. I rest my case

Things people say to me online. I couldn’t figure out what this person wanted as they were a winner of free yarn that had to be collected at a show (no postage was a condition of the prize) and kept telling me they didn’t know if they should go or not. They gave so many reasons why they shouldn’t, and seemed to be asking me to decide for them.

After a week of them sapping my energy with daily DMs, I suggested they should choose the option they preferred. All hell unleashed itself upon me from her keyboard. I am rude and uncaring and she doesn’t need to be told what to do (then why ask?), and my communication style is not good enough, etc. Well, I said I was autistic and doing my best and that’s when she said I never shut up about autism and “I don’t care how autistic you are!”. Nice. Blocked, obv.

A chat with someone neurotypical and it dawned on me that she’d spent a week trying to manipulate me into sending the freebies (specifically against the t&c) and had gotten frustrated when I though she was having a genuine dilemma and tried to help. I wonder if she realised that was why it didn’t work or just wanted to lash out?

I stand for not being a dick to people who have communication difficulties, or any other type of disability or difference. I also think I should be big enough to own up and apologise when I get it wrong. And being autistic, I get it wrong a lot!

This colourway is neon pink and black. It differs from “Black Tulip” because it is UV reactive and has no purple, only pink. This makes a beacon of brightness and a striking statement (or brash and socially inappropriate, if you prefer). That’s the thing with autism, it’s both beautiful and ugly to live with. I love my differences and my neurodivergent friends and allies, but I see more than average of the nasty side of people who feel slighted for reasons I did not intend and do not understand.

Next up: Mozzarella. My giant dinosaur beast 😂 It's safe to say that they're freakin huge lol. Just like Pete, I used chunky yarn for Mozzarella and ended up with a dinosaur much larger than anticipated. I think they were only supposed to be eight inches tall, but they turned out to be twenty-one inches tall. Very big, very snuggly. They have a special spot on my locker, and I give them head scratches nearly every time I walk in my room 😊

MY CROCHET SPOT DOLL IS COMPLETE!! i put a wire through him so he is completely poseable too

[autistpride]

After 345 days it's finished!

My queen sized Pride blanket.

This blanket means so much to me because the day I started it was the day I came out of all the closets.

I kicked those doors down after decades and risked everything doing so.

And it was fucking hard. I lost a lot. But I gained so much more.

Fully embracing all those parts of me that I had to keep so tightly under lock and key because it wasn't safe.

I'm free now.

And I'm so glad I did it. I'm proud of myself.
