They love tactile fabrics. A variety would be good. However if it's just about awareness you can use the puzzle pieces. If you want to earn lots of money you may just make a quilt that appeals to everyone....in everyday colors. ....idk? Just a thought.
I also think that the puzzle pieces would be a good pattern for a child with autism. I also have a son with Aspergers, Charismah. My son has very definite tactile sensitivities. He can't stand the sensation of polar fleece, but likes flannel. I'm sure this is a very individualistic kind of thing. When he feels certain fabrics, you can see him cringe. My son is 21 and they don't outgrow this.
