Introducing Koax Cards, your new tool to avoid social interaction, awkward idleness, or to look busy while doing nothing at all. Designed by an autistic person who was tired of feeling like they had nothing to do while in public, these cards entertain and distract your eye while you’re waiting, bored, or simply doing nothing. There are a lot of lulls coming up this summer and this is a simple, easy, cheap way to fill the void.
They are based on the autistic behavior stimming – self-stimulation – and come in five engaging styles: follow the arrows, pareidolic circles, count the dots, pareidolic curves, and count the lines.
“Koax-Koax” is the verbal stim the creator uses to concentrate when they drew the designs, so the name in and of itself is a tool for relief. They’re helpful to autistic people, those with social anxiety or ADHD, or anyone who’s ever been in public and had nothing to do. They are business sized and blank on the back, allowing for discretion. You can trace the shapes with your eyes, connect the dots, find the faces, or do anything else you can imagine. They grab no attention but yours.

Please reblog even if you can’t buy! I, the creator of Koax Cards, was evicted for being autistic, and this is a culmination of months of work for a coping tool for everyone, neurotypicals and divergents alike. For autistic people, this is a great way to stim discreetly in public, and for everyone else, this is a much-needed piece of equipment to fill idle moments.
