April IS Autism Awareness Month

[tinkerbell/pixie]

Hi All:wave2: April is Autism Awareness Month.Today ( 4/2/08 )is the very first national Autism Awareness Day. I know A lot of us that have family members or friends affected by this disorder will be looking for designs.I thought it might be a good idea to post these designs on one thread for this month. Of course the designers should post their names or a link to their thread.So please Dis Signers, if you have any t-shirt, candy bar wrappers, Id cards etc. please help us out. Help us bring awareness to ASD. 1 in 150 children are now affected by this disorder THANKS SOOOO MUCH

[mcraft17]

My dd has Asperger's and I would love a cute design with that, since most of the designs that I saw say just Autism. Thank you so much!!

Tracy,

I can do these. Do you want them to simply say "My brother/son has autism" or do you want any other wording?

[tinkerbell/pixie]

Kari, Thanks so much for posting.I hope you are enjoying your spring break. You posted one of Amy's old designs last week of Mickey with the puzzle pieces. DS loved it. So I was up last night ironing it on to a shirt for him to wear today. Thank you both. If you have any more autism designs with Mickey, Buzz or Lion King please post them. Ds needes one for every Friday this month. :thumbsup2 By the way thanks for what you have posted so far

Would be happy to do this. I have a nephew with autism. Do you have any particular wording you would like to see. This would really help me if I knew what parents would like to see wording wise...

I think that the design I posted last week turned out not to be Amy's so perhaps it was Pat's. I will find it and post it here along with the other Autism ones that I have done.

I wish I had saved some of the ones Amy had done. They were so great. Perhaps others will post what they have saved here.

[tinkerbell/pixie]

Mcraft17 when you bailed me out and made the HM envelope for me I did not realize we had something else in common. It is a small world. Do you have anymore candy wrappers made. Maybe with the ASD ribbion? I saw the Stitch one you did on the boards.It doesn't have to say Autism. I think as long as the ribbion is on it it would cover the entire spectrum. Thanks

I'll change the Autism Speaks to Autism Awareness as someone requested yesterday but I'll have to do it later. :goodvibes

[rumblytumbly]

This is not my design but I am not sure who did it. Hopefully someone will know for sure so proper credit can be given.

thankyou so much:lovestruc
i would REALLY like to put this on the back of their t shirts and then put a little mickey head on the front with their names and maybe an autiam background?
could you do that? the "jigsaw" background with their name?

[scojos]

I have just made the buzz t shirt for josh and he loves it!!!!
(praise indeed from my ASD child:rotfl2: )
It was my first attempt and it worked!!
just need to check sizes to avoid wasting transfer paper.

oh i have discovered a new hobby, this is so cool, I have stolen some of rumbly tumblys other generic ones of web site - going to have fun tonight...
may even post pictures if i work how to do that!!
NB One new skill a day I think rotfl.:rotfl2: :wizard:

p.s. rumbly what chocolates do you want??

It really is a small world. When my dd was diagnosed last year I didn't really know anyone with Autism, but recently I have met more and more people. Which is sad in a way but nice to meet others who are going through the same things.

I wasn't sure if you wanted a Disney one (Stitch) or just Autism so I did both. If there is something you would like on it let me know.

I love all the designs. :goodvibes They are wonderful just like our children with ASD. Do you have a Mickey Bar? Maybe you can put Know The Signs and Act Early.

[tinkerbell/pixie]

Kari, That Castle design is it yours?I would love to use that for one of my son's shirts. It fits him so well because the only thing he can think about is Disney.:lmao:

[scojos]

I totally agree Kari you are a goddess!:worship:
I am going to print these too.
I have used the autism ribbon with the mickey ears ( a mini one) on the sleeves of all the shirts I have printed so far.
Have done about 20 since last night. This is so much fun and ds with ASD loves helping!
Something fun we can do together.
Kari I took some of your designs and put them on the DISabilities site, I hope you dont mind, they were so brilliant i just wanted others to see them.
Tracy

[ckdipp]

Great designs! Thanks for sharing!

[grumpy&princess]

I so love all of these designs. I have two children with autism.
was wondering if someone could do one that said "I am 1 of 150 with autism please be patient with me" or something like that.

[scojos]

Hi,
if its my picture youre talking about another diser did it for me, telynn.
I probably should have given her credit:confused:
she is on another post...
if you look the boys have little french flags as they and their daddy are french.
i am sure if you pm her she will help.
i have printed all 5 of us shirts with this on the back and they look brill

[tinkerbell/pixie]

Kari, I think the others could not have said it better. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! The designs are wonderful. I now have a shirt for me to wear also. Thank you for al lyour time and hard work.:thumbsup2

Thanks!

I have 2 on the spectrum too!

[grumpy&princess]

We have something in common then. What are you little ones ages? Mine are 3 and 10. My dd 3 has pdd,nos and my ds 10 has bipolar and aspergers. They are a pair I tell you.

scojos, I was just looking for a design from anyone.

[FigmentStitch]

Love what everyone is doing here and the designs are wonderful.

However, I am married to an Autistic wife and I've found nothing that speaks directly to that.

I am very proud of my beautiful Autistic wife, and she L-O-V-E-S Disney. I would love if somebody (rumblytumbly?) would make something like what's on page 2.

Thank You.

Kari, I love love love the new designs. I have to ask your for two favors. Could you do for me the someone I love has autism, but put my son with a Mickey or Lion King Simba design? Also can you post the puzzle piece Mickey ears in the Stitch design by itself? That is the best puzzle piece ears I have seen yet. So many times I have tried to make that design with no luck. :goodvibes Thanks for spreading the magic.:thumbsup2

[figmentgoofy]

WOW! THAT IS GREAT Thank you. Thank you to all of you for supporting us autistics!
Rumbly- Could you make one that reads "I LOVE MY AUTISTIC WIFE"
I am proud of who I am and not ashamed of my autism. Being autistic IS an EVERY DAY struggle this is true, but we do have clear thoughts in our brains, often it is really really hard to get them out. I LOVE LOVE LOVE DISNEY. I feel Walt is a man of acceptance, and that Disney helps the "ice breaking" to make it more easy for some of us to be proud of who we are.
Disney and Autism Awareness Just as blend-able and chocolate and peanut butter!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

I know these things take time and we've never met, but this kind of thing is so important. It speaks for people who have a difficult time raising their voice. These designs will be on my wife and my computer, and bring a lot of joy to her world.

...and if you go to Mousefest this year, we'll be there (quietly in the back of the group). Just look for the Purple Backpack with all the character signatures on it.

[figmentgoofy]

I must say, as an autistic this support from the disney community is all very wonderful and appreciated, but not all of us affected by autism are minors. I see many of these posts relating to younger ones, some of us who are not so "younger" struggle just as much and have for a longer period of time yet there seems to be less awareness for young adults, not so young adults and teens. I do love all the discovery of autism awareness, I just hope that the ACCEPTANCE of ALL with autism extends to OUTSIDE, the "younger" demographic.

Can you think of any type of design that would be good for young adults or teens. I'm happy to give it a try with your help if you have some ideas??

[tinkerbell/pixie]

When I started this thread it is was and still is for all people affected by ASD.I don't think anyone tried to leave out anyone with autism.Most of the people including myself have asked for designs for our children. They just happen to be younger children. But this thread is ment for anyone who has ASD or is affected by it in some way.All of our children will live long lives (God willing) and they will grow to be teenagers and then adults still affected by ASD.
Kari was wonderful enough to make a Mickey shirt that says " I love someone with autism". That shirt can be for anyone that has a son with ASD. My son is 9 now but I will still wear the shirt when he is 59.I will make a new shirt of course.:lmao:
So Kari this is just a suggestion for a teenager or adult shirt. How about H.S. Musical cast with the saying "We're all in this together". Maybe with puzzle pieces.

I'm reading about everyone turning these designs into shirts which brings up a stupid question...How?

How does someone do it, or is there a link to a cafepress page that has them.

Kari Thanks for the Aspergers Designs...I know you did not make them for me but it made me fill up. My 5 yr old DS has just been DX. HE does take a lot of patience. Lots of times people just think he is being a brat.This REALLY upsets me

[figmentgoofy]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

When you have time one day could you make one that says

I'M AUTISTIC, try not to judge me. With mickey puzzle ears and FIGMENT?
one with goofy one with stitch?

I LOVE THESE!!!!!! I can't begin to tell you how limited autistic merchandise is, how limited Aspies merchandise is. Most of the stuff that is available out there is from cafe press but there is NO SUCH THING as supportive disney merchandise mentioning autism or aspies. This stuff is really great. If disney themselves came up with a line of shirts I'm sure it would make lots of money. Sure would be nice if they would, and then maybe put the proceeds to Autism Spectrum Research. THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN. You really are good at this! Once I learn how to share my pics and images I'm gonna post some fun disney stuff to share with you all too. Just got to learn how, and THAT, might take a while.... Is there anyone else on the forums who IS AUTISTIC, am I the only one. I see families with loved ones, or relatives with loved ones, but am I the only autistic here?

Welcome to the Boards. We are glad to see you posting figmentgoofy.Stick around we are one big Disney Family here.

Kari, You rock as my son would say.I love the H.S. Musical Shirt.I hope I am not to old to wear it.:lmao:

[figmentgoofy]

Hello. Thank you for being so welcoming and accepting. I get very very very very very very very nervous and anxious on this "forum" things, so I don't belong to any one but this one. I tend to not know what to say or if I'm saying ANYTHING that makes any sense at all, to anyone, I tend to not know if what I say is inappropriate or rude, or insulting or hurtful. So I tend to not say ANYTHING AT ALL, because all these building fears bottle up words to express my thoughts and or feelings, so thank you. I'll be walking in the walk for autism walk this month. My team name is paonessacanzoneri and I hope to be wearing a disney shirt to the walk. That's why I asked your friend to make me some that say, I'm autistic try not to judge me. I hate judgers. People who don't understand or get frustrated with me easily because my brain doesn't work they way theirs does or like theirs does, bothers me and sends me into long time silence.

Thank you for saying "hello" to me and welcoming me to this website.


P.S. NO ONE is "too old" to wear ANYTHING disney related in my opinion.

[rumblytumbly]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

When you have time one day could you make one that says

I'M AUTISTIC, try not to judge me. With mickey puzzle ears and FIGMENT?
one with goofy one with stitch?

I LOVE THESE!!!!!! I can't begin to tell you how limited autistic merchandise is, how limited Aspies merchandise is. Most of the stuff that is available out there is from cafe press but there is NO SUCH THING as supportive disney merchandise mentioning autism or aspies. This stuff is really great. If disney themselves came up with a line of shirts I'm sure it would make lots of money. Sure would be nice if they would, and then maybe put the proceeds to Autism Spectrum Research. THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN. You really are good at this! Once I learn how to share my pics and images I'm gonna post some fun disney stuff to share with you all too. Just got to learn how, and THAT, might take a while.... Is there anyone else on the forums who IS AUTISTIC, am I the only one. I see families with loved ones, or relatives with loved ones, but am I the only autistic here?

Of course I will work on the "Try not to judge me" design for you. It will probably be tomorrow afternoon or the next day. I will try to find a good Figment to use. Figment is kind of hard to find! Do you want me to put the team name or the name of your walk on the shirt too?

Welcome to the board and I am happy you are here!:hug: PS. I'm totally with you on never being too old to wear anything Disney! I'm 43 and I live and breathe Disney.

[tinkerbell/pixie]

Thank you Kari and Figmentgoofy. I always wear Tink shirts, when I can because she is my favorite.:lmao: Every year my son has used Mickey on his banner and team shirt.I have to learn how to post pictures but I will describe his last year shirt. We used the Sorrcer Mickey holding the Crystal ball. Inside the ball I put a picture of our team members from the year before. The shirts we wore said "Matthew's Dream Team" I hope that gives you some ideas.

I will tell you the samething I tell my son. Don't worry about your brain working different. It is what makes you unique and special. It's a gift to all of us. So post away. We enjoy hearing from you.:thumbsup2

[figmentgoofy]

Oh, "Rumbly" Thank you kindly! REALLY, SINCERELY, when ever you get to it is just fine with me, really. Oh My hubby is so happy to hear your response to this as well, he LOVES LOVEY LOVES Figgy Figment!

Do you want me to put the team name or the name of your walk on the shirt too?

Oh, thank you for the offer and your creative thinking but no. I want to proudly wear it as often as I can, not just on the walk. Having a diagnosis does wonders for someone who has been called WEIRD, CRAZY, STRANGE, STUPID, RETARDED, SLOW, and my favorite, she's just not TRYING hard enough" She can "over come this thing if she is more motivated too". With my diagnosis and the world FINALLY being introduced to the words Aspies and Autism, I plan on wearing this shirt, EVERY TIME I know I'm going somewhere that I am exposed to being judged, and having anxiety and or crippling fear. So thank you but you don't have to write our team name or the name of the walk, I rather it just tell people I'm autistic and that judging people, can be painful, but with autistics NO MATTER WHAT, judging IS PAINFUL EXTREMELY PAINFUL and WILL leave scars.

I live and breathe Disney. Hey.... ME TOO!

THANK YOU! I LIKE YOU TINKERBELL PIXIE, YOU'RE NICE, AND FROM NEW YORK. I was born there, raised in the city before my parents moved me out here. My grandma lives in Mamaroneck. ALL of my family lived or lives in new york still, somewhere, some of my family lived their their whole lives before passing away. But I have ALWAYS been told I'm a "new yorker". Because they would hear some gruffness or firm, or a kind of bluntness in me. TRUE some of it is because of my back east roots, HOWEVER some of it if not all as I get older, is the autism. But since there was nothing such as autism or aspies all through my growing up, I would play up that it was/is because I'm from back east that makes me so "forward"... truthfully, from what I know of my diagnosis, my so called "forward" behavior, is because I'm autistic hee hee, they didn't know and I didn't tell em... giggle giggle
course on the flip side autism "didn't exist" for my brain it feels like which came first the chicken or the egg...

[tinkerbell/pixie]

Figmentgoofy it is encouraging to talk to you.Most of my family is in the south. We live here in New York because my Ds is in one of the top schools for autism. I look at his progress and say we would stay here forever if he can continue to bloom like he is.
I put my ds in a social skills class because of his choice of words. The boy always tells the truth and I am sorry to say it is not the best thing.:lmao: Dh says all New Yorkers are forward so I should leave him alone.I guess that New York edge will put you guys at the head of the class.:goodvibes

[scojos]

hi figment goofy,
have you tried the disabilities thread? there are lots of people over there with asd in the family.
my ds 8 has a recent diagnosis and we are very proud of him.
like tinker/pixies son he is obsessed by soccer, and we are v proud of him.
kari, your designs just keep getting better...
how about a tink one with "we tink you should be patient, we have a special child" could then be used for any SEN child?
thanks
tracy

[figmentgoofy]

Yea. It's weird like that. The 2 (autism) and being from (back east) get very well tangled together, like necklace chains. Sometimes one can't tell if "that kind" of behavior is because one is from back east or because of "something else" many people to this day can't wrap their brains around "something called autism" or how I hear it from many who know nothing "that autistic thing" the idea that there is a diagnosis for some behaviors is very easily dismissed or denied. That it doesn't exist. Or that someone is "making things up so they can get away with it." Its amazing how closed minded people can be sometimes. I simply said I was from Back East and what ever inappropriate words came out of my mouth, sometimes I got lucky and the receiver to what I was saying thought I was funny, and sometimes, NOPE. What ever I said that was inappropriate or rude or hurtful or whatever, and my brain doesn't track those kinds of things, if and when what I said wasn't received well, I was BANISHED.
MANY people took what I said in the wrong context, HOWEVER, I don't speak, what we call "nero-typical" and a receiver doesn't speak "autistic". The way I HEAR the world is though I MUST learn to speak 3 languages which is hard to do. But EVERY TIME I open my mouth what I say has to be translated. If its as though I live in Italy, but only speak German and Russian. It is THAT FAR apart and THAT different of a language.

[figmentgoofy]

Here are your designs. Hope you like them.
ARE YOU KIDDING?! I LOVE THEM, ABSOLUTELY LOVE EM!
I'M CHANGING MY WARDROBE. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THEY ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL. You have brought a tear of joy to an autistics eye! THANK YOU!
You lil rumbly tumbly you. You don't know how much this means. I so, really appreciate you taking the time to have done this. THANK YOU!

[figmentgoofy]

On page 2, there is one with Stitch that represents DAUGHTER.

[figmentgoofy]

have you tried the disabilities thread? there are lots of people over there with asd in the family.

You know what, and this is a totally autistic thing. I haven't tried the disabilities thread. I have NEVER POSTED, ever before. This is my first board posting web site let alone page.
I only came here because my hubby saw RUMBLYTUMBLY's pictures. It was just at the time that I was complaining that there was no such thing as autism awareness DISNEY shirts out there in the market world. Thank you for the suggestion to that thread, but I will most likely not go. I am too afraid. I am comfy here, and will probably only be on this thread for a while, MY VERSION OF A WHILE, which means MONTHS, if not the rest of this year. Thank you but no. I won't go. I don't know what goes on in there I don't know what they talk about I don't want to come off as rude or a "know it all". Nope I am steering VERY CLEAR of that thread. I like it here. Rumbly and TinkPix have made me feel safe and welcome here, so this is where I'll be staying.:upsidedow

Hello all, Just wanted to share this site with you. http://www.geocities.com/richardg_uk/famousac.html
We showed this to our son, so that he can realize that just because he has Aspergers, he is not alone. There are plenty of famous people on this list including Bill Gates and Michael Jackson. I'm sure the kids that teased Bill Gates in school wish they were a little nicer to him.

Thanks so much!!!:) I am saving this link for when Aidan gets a little older and understands more.

[PrincessMommyof3]

Glad to be able to help.

[figmentgoofy]

I just watched Lilo & Stitch AGAIN. BOTH LiLo AND Stitch ARE AUTISTIC.
-Biting
-Destruction
-Not Belonging
-Inappropriate Behavior
-Anxiety Attacks
-Fighting with everyone
-Strong Sensitive Connections with Toys
-Sadness
-Confusion
-Screams
-Loud Noises
-Inappropriate reactions to situational struggles.
-The Constant Feeling of Being Lost
-Seen as Crazy, Weird, Strange, Different
-The Reoccurring Question Of "What's Wrong With You?!"
-Being addressed with the sentence of "Why Can't you Just...." (fill in the blank)

There is NO WAY, speaking from an autistic perspective that LILO & STITCH are not autistic.

[dananbethany]

I am loving this thread. My nephew has Asperger's. The ones with Stitch are absolutely adorable :thumbsup2

i do understand totally, and i did not mean to offend you or put you under pressure.
i would say that everyone on that site is also very kind, and you could lurk and not post like i do.
my dh says i have autisitc tendancies, and i do on certain levels, so i understand ds more easily, what stresses him, better than dh. ds "problem" areas in every day life, the need for everything to be perfect, organised logical etc are a watered down version of my own needs.
i do not admit this very often so do not shoot me down in flames, i have never had a diagnosis and at 34 its fairly unlikely that i will, my new obsession with our disney holiday, and it is an obsession, is helping remove stress from other areas in my life, mainly work (i teach design and technology (food) in high school.
you can pm me if you want to chat

[figmentgoofy]

You're nice too. I appreciate such supportive words. Thank you kindly. You can always feel free to email me at anytime too. Maybe you could privately mail me and keep me posted as to what's going on in there. Or we could go into that thread together...

THANK YOU though for being so understanding.:upsidedow

[POOHWHORH]

Sure, I'll do these sometime in the next few days.

Thank You I cant wait :banana: :banana: :banana:

WOW you guys are all so good at this creative stuff. I tip my hat off to you all. I am very impressed, and such support when coming together for Aspies and Autism :grouphug:


I have a question. I would like to post some fun images too. How do I go about doing that? Here is what I know: I know, to go to photo bucket and have an image translated into code. THAT, however.... is ALL I know. Not enough I'm afraid. Someone have helpful tips so I can share my disney images too???

I know this thread is a year old and a lot of images have been deleted - but I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

I made stickers for our last trip but a t-shirt is so much cooler :thumbsup2

is there any chance I can get *just* the mickey head in the stitch "what? is my autism showing?

I want to put "I'm not ignoring you - I have autism" on top of it....

I know the thread's a year old so if that's not possible, I understand :)
