Mine include a black one from Wrong Planet and a black one from Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

Quite a few. I've gotten several for free from events we went to and someone gave me a t-shirt that says "Keep Calm, I'm an autism mom" on it. I haven't worn any out of the house, other than when I was at the event the shirt came from. Maybe next time we're at the airport, I will wear the keep calm shirt, LOL.

None. I don't like clothes with writing or pictures. I wish I could find shoes that had no identifying marks. I like being bland.

Oh, me too! I usually wear a black T-shirt or white Oxford shirt, and nothing else. After years of working in film, theatre and politics, I have finally worn out all the free shirts I had collected. I am now logo-free. But, I like the idea of having a couple Aspie shirts to wear at certain places for awareness reasons. Besides, Alex's Wrong Planet alien is huuuge on the WP shirts. Hehe.

I do not have any, not sure I'd want to unless it said something really clever or obscure, then I might consider it.

But I wouldn't want to parade around in a shirt that says 'The Face of Autism' for instance or anything that would give the impression of me thinking 'hey look I have autism'.

I have 6.
I have two Neurodiversity shirts from ThinkGeek, two long sleeve and two short sleeve shirts that I made that say "I'm not ignoring you, I'm autistic. OK... Yeah, I'm also ignoring you."

I love wearing them! I actually feel more comfortable in public when I'm wearing the shirts that clearly say that I'm autistic.

That is a funny T-shirt slogan! You could make a little money if you designed and sold them through CafePress.com.

None.

I'm known by what I do, not what I wear.

None. I always feel weird wearing shirts that might inspire someone to come up and ask me about it. I'm never prepared for all that :lol:.

This past April, I made one out of an old white T-shirt. I wrote across the back in blue Sharpie, "Normal is an illusion that no one, autistic or not, should be forced to emulate."

I have a window sticker that displays multiple logos, including a puzzle piece, and the caption says, "God loves all of us, I promise."

I haven't had the balls to put it on my van yet. I wore the shirt around the house until the Sharpie bled and the writing became illegible.

I like the one that says, "Autism is not a tragedy. Ignorance is a tragedy."

I wish I had the balls to wear it. I don't.
