1. About Me: Embracing Love and Diversity with T-Shirts & Toys here at Prideful On The Spectrum.
Hey there! I'm Colby Beard, a widower Dad on a heartfelt mission to make a difference. As the founder of T-Shirts and Toys for Prideful On The Spectrum, my journey is deeply personal, inspired by the joy and challenges of raising my incredible child on the autism spectrum.
2. Our Story:
Prideful On The Spectrum was born out of the love and resilience of a single-windowed dad navigating the beautiful world of parenthood with a uniquely bright and vibrant child. As I embraced the journey of parenting a child on the spectrum, I discovered the transformative power of self-expression and inclusivity. After losing my spouse / his other dad, I found out our little one was on the spectrum. I did all the steps to get him into PT/OT/Speech and ABA. I have seen so many improvements in his overall development. I started to think about how I could contribute to this community. I want a place where families can come and find clothing that shows pride and acceptance. They also can find sensory toys instead of having to search all over the web for them. A one-stop shop for anyone on the spectrum, including advocates.
3. Our Mission:
At Prideful On The Spectrum, our mission goes beyond creating t-shirts and toys; it's about crafting a narrative of acceptance, celebrating diversity, and fostering a sense of belonging. Every design is a testament to the uniqueness of each child, including my own, and a celebration of the spectrum of colors that make our lives beautiful.
