Hi all,
Last week I bought this t-shirt aspiehollow t-shirt from a shop that has t-shirts for aspies and wore it down the street today. A lady walked past and started laughing hard, she said that this was perfect for her son who was always making social blunders.
It felt great to make someone else laugh and made my day. :D

Cheers,
Rowan

I don't think it's offensive. Even though, contrary to the shirt's message, we certainly have nothing to apologize for, there's nothing wrong with lightly and jokingly making fun of ourselves .

:wink:

No more offensive than curling your lip and sneering "I was born this way; what's your excuse?" - an insult which was popular in my youth. :)

That's an awesome line. :)

And, Donkeynomad, glad to hear that you had such a positive experience.
