SPICY BRAIN STICKER for Autism

"We are a neurodivergent family, myself included. For years now, I referred to our special brains as “spicy brains” that just see and feel things a bit differently. And because there is nothing wrong with some spice! One night I asked my husband to draw me a tattoo, a Carolina Reaper pepper that also looked like a brain - to symbolize my brain in a way that I could be explain it. We created the red spicy brain sticker to help raise awareness and acceptance for Autism." Nikki - 2022

Our Original Spicy Brain Sticker, a heartfelt creation that celebrates neurodiversity with pride and positivity. Designed by Nikki, the owner of Elli J. Beauty, and her husband, this bold red spicy brain represents their personal journey as parents to two autistic children and Nikki's own experiences as a neurodivergent individual. In a world where autism is often misunderstood and stigmatized, Nikki wanted to create something that reflected the beauty and uniqueness of autistic brains.

Too often, people are pressured to change who they are to fit into a "norm" that doesn't align with their true selves. Nikki wanted to redefine how we talk about autism—focusing on the positivity, brilliance, and uniqueness that autism brings. The spicy brain symbolizes the beautiful differences that make each person extraordinary, encouraging us all to embrace our individuality.

At Elli J. Beauty, we believe in the power of equality, inclusion, and compassion. By raising awareness and education about autism, we strive to break down stigma and encourage acceptance. Research shows that autism is a neurological condition that impacts communication, behavior, and social interaction, but it's also a spectrum filled with incredible strengths, including heightened focus, creativity, and unique problem-solving abilities (Autism Research Institute, 2023).

With our Spicy Brain Sticker, we are proud to represent these strengths and continue advocating for greater awareness, understanding, and acceptance of autism. Because, here at Elli J. Beauty, we don’t mind a little spice—it’s what makes the world a more vibrant and inclusive place!
