Would you wear Aspie clothing in public...

Post Reply New Topic

Sure I'd wear it - that is, if I knew for sure that I actually had AS.

hmmm. and I thought this thread was about wearing lousy looking clothing that we like, but others would not be caught dead in!

I don't know if I would ever wear such a shirt.

have to say that my favourite t-shirt is my "Neighbourhood Witch" one, though.

I don't tell anyone so I wouldn't wear clothes that tell it.

At the risk of appearing totally clueless...

Why "whirled peas"? I get the pun on "world peace," but for what purpose? I mean, why would you want a teeshirt or button that says "whirled peas"? The peas in the logo look whole enough to me. Maybe some green smear across the logo would be more appropriate...

OK, I admit it... totally clueless...

Most of the AS shirts are good for an inside joke, IMO, and wouldn't make any sense to the rest of the world. If I ever finish my MCSE cert (not going well) and find a hospitable job environment, then I think that some sort of AS/ASD memorabilia might be in order.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. If you get into an accident, people could try to use AS against you to try and save their own skin. It could also make you look like a promising target for insurance fraud rings too.

I use Autistic Liberation Front stickers or pins. It's already proclaimed to the world in my mannerisms that something is different, so they might as well know what.

4:20 signifies 'juana. Not endorsing or anything but here's a link with way too much more than anyone should know. http://www.concept420.com/what-is-420.htm

(4:20 is my favorite time of day)

oh yeah, the topic is wearing AS clothing...

I have the WP clock on the wall of my room at work. The bumper sticker isn't going on my car just yet, in order not to associate WP with the vitriolic bumper stickers already there.

I don't wear t-shirts much, I look stupid in them. But a collared shirt, like a golf shirt, but with a pocket for my iPod/4:20 stuff would be cool. I like people knowing that I have AS, explains why I'm so weird, and unsociable.

I like the blue and pink T-shirts!

What about the wrist bands a'la "LIVESTRONG" for Lance Armstrong's testicular cancer. I've heard of doing Orange for Apergers, but all I've seen available were made of string.

I totally dig the WP T-Shirts...they look good in 420 mode, too.

I especially like "I've been good, can I go home now!"

and "Autism Rocks"

But, then again, Ed's T-Shirt is really nice. My favorite color is multi.

No Cindy you are not clueless. To be honest, I aquired this domain name over a year ago and did this long before I thought of turning it into a autism advocacy site. I just liked the catchy name. I have other domain names that I haven't done anything with yet.
It's just another one of my many obsessions, I guess. So my answer is "It's purpose is there is no purpose" - As for why would you want a teeshirt or button that says "whirled peas"? My answer is obviously - you would not.

If anyone cares:The proceeds will go to a worthy cause (other autism websites, such as WP and Autistics.org) for what it's worth. We all should do what we can to help our community.

OK, thanks!

I wouldn't wear obvious aspie logos or slogans in public. Too many people out there are just looking for someone to discriminate against, for an artificial boost to their own self esteem, and I don't want to make myself too easy a target.

But I would wear a more subtle symbol on a t-shirt, something that would help us recognize each other without waving a red (or orange ) flag to the rest of the world. Perhaps the logo could be a planet with an orange ring around it, no words necessary. Anyone who didn't know would think it was just a pretty picture...
