✨ Meet the NeuroSpicy Gang – My Stimming Pals! ✨
A comforting collection of plushies and enamel pins created by neurodivergent minds, for neurodivergent hearts.
We’re Inari & Mako — a creative duo, life partners, and both proudly neurodivergent (AuDHD).
We know firsthand how much it means to feel seen, understood, and comforted — especially in a world that often misreads or overlooks our experiences.
That’s why we created the NeuroSpicy Gang: a warm, soft, expressive collection of weighted plushies and enamel pins designed to represent and support the joys, challenges, and unique ways of being neurodivergent.
🌶️ What is NeuroSpicy Gang?
It’s more than just cute merch — it’s representation you can hold in your arms (or wear on your jacket).
Each character is lovingly designed to reflect different neurodivergent traits, sensory needs, and stimming habits — with humor, honesty, and lots of love.
🧸 Our plushies are soft, weighted, and sensory-friendly, perfect for grounding, stimming, or cuddling during shutdowns, meltdowns, or just a cozy break — even outside!
📌 Our enamel pins turn daily struggles and wins into joyful little badges of honor you can carry with you.
🧠 Who’s in the Gang? [for now]
✨ ADHDog – Bouncy, distracted, always full of big ideas and unfinished projects!
✨ Autismoo – Sweet, structured, sensitive, and happiest in her sensory-safe routine.
✨ AuDHDragon – A whirlwind of thoughts, feels, and sparkly chaos, trying to do everything at once (and nap after).
Each one comes with carefully thought-out accessories (like fidget-friendly details, stim toys, and weighted inserts), all designed with love and first-hand insight.
💖 Designed by us, for us.
We believe in designing through lived experience. As neurodivergent creators ourselves, we’ve poured our own stories, needs, and joys into every part of this project — from the concept, to the colors, to the sensory feel of each plush.
We're starting with the three neurotypes we know most intimately — ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD — because they represent our personal everyday experiences.
But this is just the beginning.
We’ve already started working on new designs that reflect a wider spectrum of neurodivergence — from dyslexia, bipolar disorder, dyspraxia, to C-PTSD — and beyond.
We’re also exploring ways to gently represent depression and anxiety: not neurodivergences themselves, but heavy companions many of us carry along the way.
Because every brain deserves softness, visibility, and a place in the Gang. 🌈
🎁 Coming soon!
We’re putting together this project full of fun, accessible reward tiers, freebie goals, stretch goals, and behind-the-scenes peeks.
This is our way of celebrating what makes us different — and helping others feel less alone.
If you’re neurodivergent, love someone who is, or simply want to support inclusive, comforting design — we’d love to have you on board 💌
