I love this sign outside My Small World, a toyshop in #Bath, UK 💖 My #autistic daughter (aged 21 🥰) cried when she saw it.

We need more businesses, especially ones likely to attract #neurodiverse children and adults, to be this welcoming.

@ClaireCopperman That is the most wonderful thing I've read today, thank you for sharing! We absolutely need more spaces like that, for everyone, and what better place for both children and adults than a toy shop!

Absolutely. It is a beautiful shop too, and it might give the idea that it's a bit precious, which is clearly far from the case.

@ClaireCopperman You make me want to see where the nearest cool toy shop is and how welcoming they are to curious adults with a little wonder stuck somewhere in their bones.

It's certainly worth a look. Toy shops can be magical - when they're not soulless temples to Mammon ...
