Autism Acceptance Elephant T-Shirt

I got these shirts done by Spectrum Designs Foundation which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All proceeds directly support the gainful and integrated employment of individuals with Autism and related Developmental Disabilities in their print shop in Port Washington, NY. https://www.spectrumdesigns.org/

Every time that I sell an order of shirts I will be donating 50% of the proceeds to an organization that helps individuals with Autism, Neruodiversity, Mental Health & Recovery Community.

This order of shirts I sell I will be donating 50% of the proceeds To an organization called SASI Specialized Autism Support & Information formerly known as Suffolk Aspergers/Autism Support and Information (SASI) http://www.sasiny.org/SASI was founded by Priscilla Arena, a mother whose child is on the autism spectrum and created a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which provides materials to guide families in finding resources, programs and therapies for their children, aiding families in navigating the OPWDD process, holding support group meetings for parents, siblings and ASD children, hosting a variety of events to boost the socialization and emotional well being of ASD children, providing financial support for necessary services and therapies that may not be covered by insurance, and educating the greater population about autism spectrum disorder.

Being a person with Aspergers I wanted to lend my support to them supporting me and our community. I choose an elephant because Ganesha is my favorite god in Hinduism. He represents the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, the deva of intellect and wisdom and new beginnings. I choose the splattered paint representing the Autism Acceptance colors.

Artwork was done by my good friend Kevin Casey and you can find more of his artwork and follow him on Instagram.
