Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Neurodiversity is not a flaw. Different wiring is not something to fix or apologize for, and the AuDHD occupational therapist in the tee reframes the conversation with every family she meets, starting with the sentence on her own chest, because the parents usually arrive with a list of things to correct. Natural human variation. This tee is the reframe, five words.

Wear it to the OT clinic, Autism Acceptance Month, the neurodiversity meetup, the college disability office, and the family dinner where a relative asks if there is a treatment. It is a warm gift for an occupational therapist, an autistic or ADHD adult, a neurodivergent student, and the friend who crossed the list out.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across an OT clinic waiting room. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the crossed-out-list entry on our neurodiversity page.

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.

Fabric and fit

Comfort Colors 1717: 6.1 oz 100 percent ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed and soft-washed so it feels broken in from the first wear. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 4XL in eight colors. Double-needle stitching, no side seams, sewn-in label.

Measurements for every size are on the size and fit guide.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
