A plush bunny representing Autism

The tag shows that the bunny has 4 things symbolizing Autism, many infinity spectrum symbols, eyes that look up as he avoids looking at you, it covers it mouth unable to verbalize, or stimming, it also just has soft yellow fur

A birthday gift to myself I'll be 38. This is a plush from Plushie Dreadfuls I'm still learning about myself and working on self compassion. My autism is something I like about myself it's part of who I am. I figured this will help me visualize that part of myself and show it love.

Also this thing is ridiculously soft and very good quality.

Sooo cute! I have a pair of stuffed bunnies that I cuddle to sleep with 🩷 I can microwave them/heat them up when I really need something warm and calming. I hope you enjoy your new friend 🐇
