Details of swap:
The purpose of this swap is to celebrate & support autism spectrum disorders! Are you or someone you love on the spectrum? Then this swap is for you!
Swap Size: This swap requires one medium and one small item or the equivalent. I wanted to keep this swap low-stress. You can craft more, but please ask your partner first!
By Time
-Medium = 2 or more hours
-Small = 2 or less hours
By Size
-Medium = one single necklace or bracelet, a scarf
-Small = Earrings, stickers, wallets, pouches, bookmarks
By Price
-Medium = $10-$30 dollars
-Small = $10 or less
Craft ideas: a special toy, therapy items such as weighted lap pads, I Spy bags, picture schedules, "fidgets" toys to keep little hands busy, etc., Autism awareness bag or t-shirt
a care package for an adult caretaker, puzzle piece jewelry, teaching aides such as communication boards. Also, if you have any used books, your partner might be able like them!
Communication: Please spend time getting to know your partner and her wants/needs. Autism is incredibly unique and items that are a god-send for one person might be completely useless for another person.
Deadline to send is November 30.
