Do you have a friend or family member who lives with autism? Or maybe you live with it yourself. While there are so many people who live with autism, it is a subject that does not get enough attention. In an effort to bring more awareness to those who have autism, I’ve been on a mission to find crochet patterns to help represent these people.

I love it when I find crochet patterns that are not only fun to make but are also meaningful and inclusive. I was pleasantly surprised to find some great patterns to represent those experiencing autism. During my research about autism, I’ve also learned that the colorful puzzle pattern represents the autistic community.

According to the Autism Society, “The puzzle pattern reflects the complexity of the autism spectrum. The different colors and shapes represent the diversity of the people and families living with the condition. The brightness of the ribbon signals hope — hope that through increased awareness of autism, and through early intervention and access to appropriate services/supports, people with autism will lead full lives able to interact with the world on their own terms.”
