April is Autism Awareness Month, and so I did a search on Ravelry.com in Patterns, to see if there were any patterns devoted to autism, and I was so happy to see that there were a lot. Most of them are puzzle pieces, and I know there is some debate on if the puzzle should be used to represent autism, but aside from that question, it is really cool that people have brought autism into their yarn crafts.
So here are a couple from what I found in results for crochet:
