Wonderful and very helpful
Please note that despite having Autism Spectrum Rabbit listed also in our Mental Health section, we recognize that for many, the disabilities associated with autism come mainly from being an autistic/neurodiverse person in a predominantly allistic/neurotypical world.
Autism itself is not a disorder or a disease - it's a natural human diversity - but it can come with a lot of extra struggles including social difficulties, depression, anxiety, and even physical health problems.
It is our hope that one day the world will be better suited and accepting to all neurotypes, and we can all work together to help that happen by supporting each other however we can. That might mean pursuing therapy or making environmental accommodations, but our collective goal is to build a place to be our authentic selves around. No matter how we get there, our charge is to respect one another's needs and choices.

IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding the design of our mental health-related Plushie Dreadfuls. We take the topics of mental health and mental health awareness seriously. That's why our design team only creates plushies related to mental health issues with which they have direct experience. In cases where our team does not have direct experience, we assemble an external team of experts to help guide our creative process. In addition, we use Crowd Design to engage a wide range of voices via platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We gather and respond to feedback from our audience - many of whom have direct experience with the mental health issues we're exploring. And while we strive to represent as many aspects of a particular mental health issue as possible while avoiding stereotypical symptoms, we hope you understand that plush toys as an artistic medium do limit the full expression of a particular issue to those things that can be crafted in fabric and stitching.
