We are incredibly proud to have been included within the Autism UK Services Directory.

Being listed alongside trusted autism support organisations helps more autistic people, families, schools and professionals discover 8DHD and the visual resources we create.

Our mission has always been to make difficult experiences easier to understand through visual storytelling, comics, sensory resources and lived experience.

This recognition represents another important step in growing a trusted home for neurodivergent people and those who support them.

Cake Not Hate started as a way to explain something difficult through visual storytelling. Instead of making the message cold or clinical, 8DHD used comic style artwork, lived experience, and simple emotional language to help people understand fear, community, kindness and repair.

The project shows how 8DHD can take a serious subject and turn it into a visual story that feels human, respectful and accessible. It sits alongside the wider 8DHD work with resources, music, emotional tools and creative projects designed to help people understand difficult feelings before they turn into silence, shame or confusion.

8DHD has been featured on The Dyslexia Association community page, placing the project alongside organisations and services supporting dyslexic and neurodivergent people.

This matters because 8DHD is built around visual, human support. The project brings together comic resources, parent editions, sensory music, creative storytelling and lived experience to help children, families, schools, therapists and organisations understand needs that are often hard to explain.

Being listed by The Dyslexia Association helps more people discover 8DHD and supports the wider aim of making neurodivergent support feel less clinical, less confusing and more human.
