🎨✨ AUDHD Craft & Hobby Supply Swap! ✂️🧵
Got extra craft supplies from past hyperfixations? Looking for new materials to spark your creativity? Join us for an AUDHD Craft & Hobby Supply Swap!
🔹 What’s Happening?
- Bring any unused or gently loved craft/hobby supplies to swap! (Yarn, beads, paints, fabric, stickers, miniatures—anything creative counts!)
- No pressure—take what inspires you, share what you no longer need.
- A relaxed, sensory-friendly space to chat, stim, and get inspired.
- Connect with like-minded crafters who totally get the cycle of hyperfixation hobbies!
❓How does it work?
- CHECK IN FIRST
- All supplies brought will be collected and laid out by event organizers.
- People who arrive will be assigned a random number.
- At 3:30pm (or sometimes after), you will get in line according to your number.
- You will then proceed to shop what has been brought!
- After that, you're welcome to leave OR you can stay and hang.
📍 Location: Kenilworth Park (upper park area off of SE 34th & Holgate)
📅 Date & Time: 5/17/25 @ 3pm
🤨 How is this event going to accommodate me?
- Low-Pressure, No-Stress Vibes – No forced socializing, no obligation to swap if you don’t want to. You can just come, exist, and vibe.
- Noise Canceling Headphones Welcome - We will be outdoors so the noise will be hard to control. You are welcome to bring noise canceling headphones and wear them the entire time.
- Stimming & Movement Welcome – Rock, flap, pace, fidget—do what you need to do! No one’s gonna give you side-eyes.
- Communication Stickers/Nametags – Color-coded tags for things like “happy to chat” vs. “please don’t talk to me first” to help with social navigation.
- No Awkward Small Talk Required – Talking is optional!
- Bring a Buddy Option – If social things are overwhelming, bring a pal for moral support (human or emotional support stuffed animal).
- No “Proper” Way to Participate – Whether you swap a lot, a little, or just watch, you’re valid. Your presence is enough.
Don’t have supplies to swap? No worries! Come hang out, get inspired, and maybe find something new to try. Let’s keep the creativity flowing! 💖♾️
This event is for neurodivergent individuals only. If you want to bring a neurotypical support person that is fine. You are welcome if you have been self diagnosed or "officially" diagnosed, nobody will ask questions.
