Why Neurodiversity and Fiber Arts?
For Autistics, stimming is a repetitive behavior involving sensory input that is an important way to reduce stress & anxiety and self-regulate. It wasn't until I was diagnosed later in life that I learned crochet and knitting can be a form of stimming. As a result, many people on the Spectrum are avid knitters and crocheters.
In addition to the connection between neurodiversity and fiber arts, crochet, knitting, and yarn are my special interests. I love creating crochet creations and connecting with fellow fiber artists and yarn connoisseurs.
Here is where I share my neurodivergent experiences, yarn reviews, crochet tips, tricks, how-to video tutorials, my creations, and original patterns.
