I just saw a really neat bumper sticker. It read:

"I Live In Another Dimension But I Have A Summer Home In Reality."

Enjoy the thought.

I saw one that said "aspies do it better". I really wanted one, but I'm not sure how I would explain it if anybody asked me about it.

If you live in a densely populated area like I do, try doing what I do. It allows you to freely express your views to all the people around you without ever having to explain yourself. Most people have WiFi networks of one kind or another and while they are not constantly looking at the network names, from time to time they do have to look at a list of networks in their area to select one that they want to use on their computers or cellphones. I have a pair of high powered multipurpose WiFi boxes (EnGenius ECB3500, range about 1000 feet, or so I've heard) and routinely use them to create unused, protected networks having names that say exactly what I want to say to people at any given time. So people go looking for their desired network and see my comments shoved in their face like a highway billboard. Ever see the John Carpenter movie "They Live" with all those subliminal message billboards? I have no idea how many people see them but I know that some people do because the talk I hear from people going by outside sometimes reflects my comments as soon as 5 minutes after I put up a new comment. The image below illustrates what I am talking about... people fear talking to me because I am such an unknown, so this particular comment was designed to ask why and to show people that others do not share their unreasonable fear. It is also aimed at a highly avoidant neighbor whom I have long suspected of being an Aspie himself as a way of showing him that he is accepted and has no reason to fear me. This "billboard" is constantly changing and my comments reflect the ongoing environment, never remaining static for more than a day or two. Its a lot of fun being able to tell people what you really think. I will put that bumper sticker comment up on the billboard sometime soon.

By the way, I like your interest in black T-Shirts. I also like the color black (and when I was a kid, my mom always told me it looked good on me) and regularly wear a black sweatshirt (zip-up with no hood from JCP).

I saw one that I want to get for my wheelchair.
"It's okay, some of my best friends are neurotypical."

Surely the ultimate aspie bumper sticker or t-shirt is the simple message "Hi, How are you?"

For a t-shirt this would be printed on the back of course.

Mine would say "I'm perfect just the way I am."

I've already got one on my chair that says "Why Be Normal?" It's my favorite one :)
