Some new neurodivergent pride gear :)

With International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination being this week and around 35% of autistic people identifying as LGBTQ+ (three times the general population), I’m so excited to announce my newest collection of rainbow Different Not Less beanies.
With 100% soft touch acrylic fibres, double knitted, a super-duper comfortable one-size-fits-all fit, these beanies have become a staple in my wardrobe, and I’m so excited for them to be a staple in yours, too!

Who we are is exactly who we’re supposed to be. It’s time for acceptance, love and equality.
Both within society, and within ourselves.
