Milton Keynes mum makes comic conventions ‘more inclusive’
The events featured a retro gaming zone, cosplayers, cars from films, workshops, and more than 100 exhibitor tables full of geeky memorabilia and handmade crafts.
This year, Ms Crofts was scheduled to run 31 events across the country and will visit Daventry, Luton, Ipswich and Walsall.
Ms Crofts hoped her family-run events could set an example that showed conventions could be safe spaces for everybody.
She said: “It’s not just for the child; it’s for the parents and the stress it causes the parents.
“They know someone has their back – if the child has an autistic meltdown, we are there to support them.
“I want to help, I want to make it accessible for others, and I want them to have a bit of fun.”
