I would love to see a plushie that is an artist 🎨 !!! As a person who has epilepsy art has always help me keep my stress down to the point where I don’t have a epilepsy spell.

For the gastroparesis bunny: it would be cool to have an esophagus/heartburn/upper digestive tract pattern to symbolize the acid reflux and pain. Maybe put a design around the mouth like y’all did with the Crohn’s disease rabbit to symbolize the vomiting that often comes with gastroparesis. It would be cool if the pattern surrounding the upper digestive tract was a bright/vibrant color and everything else was more muted to show the malnutrition that comes with it.

And people with more severe gastroparesis need a feeding tube so that’s an idea.

Something with the stomach would also make sense but I don’t have any particular ideas.

Yeah I think OCD 2’s prototype is going for a less obvious expression of it due to how OCD can present in a ton of different ways and some might feel like the first was a bit too outward. I personally love the original, even though I don’t have the compulsions implied in the design. It really gets the anxiety and intolerance down to a T. There’s nothing fun about OCD and I think that the OG design NAILS IT.

I’d like the 2nd design to try to implement more understated details. OR make the eyes emanate more, like with colored lines surrounding them to give the eyes a vine boom feeling effect. Drive home that crap is doing down in their head. Maybe make the paws a different color or pattern to symbolize restlessness.

people pleaser

Oh really? I love the fabric! (I have autism) alot of us love the Fleece fluffy feel of things. linnen seems like a nightmare to me 😭. I think it will be very hard to accommodate every autistic person’s sensory do’s and don’t’s tbh. But I’m sorry your husband doesn’t like it tho! It’s always interesting to see how everyone is different!
