Connecting with Autism Moms: Meet the Kawaii Crew

💗 From One Autism Mama to Another 

Being an autism mom can feel lonely, overwhelming, and invisible—but it can also be filled with unexpected magic. 

That’s why I created the Kawaii Crew: a group of gentle, expressive characters based on the real emotions, behaviors, and moments I experience as a mother of two autistic boys.

They’re not just cute—they’re tools, reflections, and reminders that every feeling deserves a friend.

A group of seven kawaii-style characters representing autism-related emotions and tools: JoJo the light blue puzzle piece, Jay Jay the orange fidget spinner, Calmy the swirling air, Mimi the noise-canceling headphones, Robo the silver robot, Zilla the green dinosaur, Star Pal the glowing yellow star, and Mama Love, a large pink heart, standing supportively at the center.

💙 JoJo – The Puzzle Piece

JoJo is quiet and observant, just like my son Jordan.He may not always speak, but he shines in his own way.JoJo reminds us: communication doesn’t have to be loud.

🧡 Jay Jay – The Fidget Spinner

Jay Jay is always in motion, full of ideas and joy.He was inspired by my son’s bright, energetic nature.Jay Jay shows us that movement can be a language, too.

🌬️ Calmy – The Breathing Air

Calmy appears when anxiety rises—like when my son starts to panic or pant.He gently reminds us to rub our tummy and breathe.Calmy is a quiet guide back to calm.

🎧 Mimi – The Noise-Canceling Headphones

🤖 Robo – The Logic Buddy

🦖 Zilla – The Mighty Roar of Courage

Zilla is full of BIG feelings—anger, fear, love.He may seem tough, but he’s just trying to be understood.Zilla reminds us that even the loudest kids are still soft inside.

⭐ Star Pal – The Quiet Shine

Star Pal carries feelings that are hard to explain.They don’t always speak—but they always shine.Star Pal shows us that even quiet kids have bright lights inside.

💗 Mama Love – The Heart Behind It All

I’m Mama Love—the real mom behind this crew.I created these characters to comfort, validate, and support children like mine—and mamas like us.This journey is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone.
