Every April, the world comes together to celebrate Autism Awareness Month, but more importantly, it’s a time to promote acceptance, inclusion, and understanding for those on the autism spectrum.
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition that affects how people communicate, learn, and experience the world around them. No two people with autism are the same—it’s a spectrum, which means everyone has a unique journey, strengths, and needs.
A Quick Look at Autism:
1 in 36 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with autism
It appears across all races, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds
Autism is not an illness—it’s a different way of thinking, feeling, and interacting
Many people with autism have incredible gifts in areas like memory, music, math, art, or creativity
But too often, they’re misunderstood.That’s why spreading awareness isn’t enough—we need compassionate conversations and inclusive communities that honor and support autistic individuals in every part of life.
Why I Created My Autism Awareness Fabric Collection
As a creative and advocate, I wanted to do something that spoke louder than words. That’s how the “Voices of the Spectrum” fabric collection was born. Each design tells a story through color, texture, and symbolism—from blooming puzzle flowers to joyful butterflies and strong, helping hands.
You can explore and shop these meaningful patterns on my Spoonflower page: butterfly69 on Spoonflower
Whether you’re a quilter, crafter, decorator, or maker of any kind, these fabrics were made to turn your next project into something powerful—because art can advocate too.
A Few Favorites from the Collection:
The Spectrum Garden – Diverse hands nurturing puzzle-piece flowers
Puzzle Petals – Bright blooms made from puzzle pieces and community care
