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

Stimming is self care. Flapping, rocking, fidgeting, humming: stimming is regulation, not a problem to fix, and the autistic adult in the tee was coached out of flapping in second grade and rocks gently through every long meeting now on purpose, because it is how the meeting gets survived. This tee reframes a behavior the world told autistic people to hide.

Wear it to the neurodiversity meetup, the long meeting, the autism acceptance event, the occupational therapy clinic, and the family dinner where a relative says sit still. It is a warm gift for an autistic adult, an occupational therapist, a parent who stopped saying quiet hands, and the friend who fidgets alongside.

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 four words that read across a long meeting. 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 rocking-through-the-meeting 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.

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.
