Or instead:
I AM AN INDIVIDUAL. WHAT ARE YOU?

I like this one. No one would know what it means unless they know enough about Asperger's. Vague enough to confuse normal people, but specific enough for other AS'ers to spot the meaning. I like the planet too. :D

I like the shirt that says "Aspies Unite!" but I wouldn't wear any of it in public simply because I don't believe in labels and Aspie or NT, whatever I am, I'm not going to advertise it.

Or something like that...

"Aspies Unite!" kinda smells of revolution, doesn't it? Not so sure I'd wear that...

I do like WIRED TO BE WEIRD. Hehe. I'd wear that.

People do not need to rely on a visible signal that i have aspergers. When you pass me in the where-ever, you immediately know that i am of eccentric blood.

You have to talk to me first.

Then you know.

I think the only ones I'd wear are the WrongPlanet one, and maybe the "I don't obsess..." one (although nobody knows about my obsessions). I sure as heck wouldn't wear the "yeah, like we're gonna hold hands..." one - some aspies like holding hands, y'know? ;-)

I would definitely wear one, but that's only because the school I go to now is extremely tolerant. I once went to the middle of the campus and danced, shouting with my friend, "We're crazy! We're crazy!" This is something that at my old school I would've gotten guaranteed harrassment for the rest of high school (well, more, anyway). Being that this was at an art school, now I have even more friends. :lol:

And speaking of public embarrassment: When I was about four or five, and I was in public where my 9-year-old sister was crawling underneath chairs, my mom said she was very embarrassed, and I said, "No, Mommy. We can't embarrass you; you can only embarrass yourself."

Definitely; howveer at the time I designed that one I wan notorious amoung my friends for being touch-phobic, and I know a lot of Aspies are too, so there are some it would be appropriate for (as in, people who knew them would get it).

Cool!! ! I wish I could get this clothes in Colombia!! ! :cry:

If there are women who wear in public t-shirts like "italians do it better" or "sut up and just do me", this t-shirts can be considered cool to wear. If we are going to make a statement through t-shirts, these are very good ones!! !

i'm so getting that Aspie Stim Team sweatshirt! it's so funny and cute and i love sweatshirts. :P

i think it's just right for me, i'd wear something with the word Aspie or AS but not Asperger's, i guess i just don't like the name. Aspie is kinda cute (and ambiguous in the case of most normies), i didn't like it in the beginning but it's growing on me. :)

THAT I would be opposed to because it's a desrtuctive behavior that you can control- at least when you start. And that's the other reason I'd be opposed- SI is f---ing addicting, and I know from experience. I've been off it for a year, but I don't need a bracelet, I have enough scars to show that I was into it. I still crave sometimes, and when I see people who look like the cut, I want to cry.


i know what you mean but not everyone is "in control" of it even in the beginning. i was, sorta. to a degree, i chose that way of coping. but there are people that don't.

anyways i agree that the scars advertize quite enough on their own, i have to wear separate sleeves or long sleeved shirts with tee shirts. going to the gym is difficult because i have to wear a long sleeved shirt since i haven't found separate sleeves yet (btw if anyone knows where to order those online pleeease tell me). i do know people who just wear tees with their scars showing, and i envy that courage, because people can get so cruel when they see the scars. i've had someone use it against me in an arguement, calling me mentally ill, i didn't even know he'd seen some of my scars and he'd never mentioned it until it suit him when he wanted to hurt me. :roll: what a pathetic fsck.

wow you were a pretty durn smart 5 year old! 8)


btw you can always make your own tees. just get some type of shirt you like that says nothing on it and just write on it or make a print or something. it's good fun too.
