Unisex fit, true to size, S to 5XL (Sand to 3XL). Heavyweight fleece crewneck.

Ask autistic adults. Some of the best teachers of autistic kids learned their craft from autistic adults: a coworker, a blogger, a parent who got diagnosed after their child did. The phrase is a sourcing note. If you want to know, ask the people who know.

Wear it in the classroom during autism acceptance month, at the parent support group where you recommend books by autistic authors, and at the staff training where you suggest the district hire an autistic consultant. It is a practical, everyday way to point people to better sources.

It is made on a Gildan Heavy Blend crewneck sweatshirt, an 8 oz seamless fleece blended evenly from cotton and polyester, with ribbed collar, cuffs and hem. Printing is direct-to-garment, so the phrase stays soft and flexible and will not crack across the front.

Unisex, relaxed and true to size in S through 5XL for Black, White and Sport Grey, and S through 3XL for Sand; order two sizes up for oversized. Also as a tee and a hoodie. Our neurodiversity page explains neurodiversity and why autistic voices should lead.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Common questions

Is this a good shirt for a special education teacher? Yes. It tells students and parents the teacher listens to autistic people, which matters a great deal to autistic families.

Is ask autistic adults different from autism awareness? Yes. Awareness talks about autistic people, while this phrase asks everyone to listen to them directly.

Can non-autistic people wear this? Yes. It is a message non-autistic parents, teachers and therapists can wear to point others to autistic voices.

Does this come as a hoodie? Yes, along with a tee, so there is a weight for every season.

Wear it to: the IEP meeting, the conference, the family dinner, the waiting room.
