In 2016, a meaningful endeavor began with Joshua Stuart and his sister Jennifer Stuart launching Autism Beads. Driven by a shared vision, they handcrafted beaded bracelets, each piece carrying a touch of their dedication. Their creations not only offered a tangible item but also represented a heartfelt effort.

Like many initiatives, Autism Beads faced unforeseen challenges and eventually paused operations for a few years, navigating the complexities of the COVID-19 era. This period brought about significant shifts in daily life and impacted numerous ventures.

However, the spirit behind Autism Beads remained resilient. In 2025, a new chapter unfolded with their comeback. Embracing the colorful and engaging trend of rainbow loom bracelets, Joshua and Jennifer have reignited their purpose. This revival blends a popular crafting activity with their enduring commitment, creating vibrant new expressions of their original mission.
