F84.5 Asperger Syndrome: Relax Hoodie
AS Colour 5161 — heavyweight 320 gsm cotton/poly, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulder so it drapes instead of hunches. Kangaroo pocket big enough for two hands and a fidget. Has a hood, which is just a pocket for your head. Interior fleece is brushed soft and doesn’t go fuzzy-pilly after the first wash. Woven neck label is flat and smooth; banded cuffs stay where you push them. Wears in, doesn’t wear out.
F84.5 — Asperger Syndrome. An old label that is not officially in the current playbook but still makes sense to a lot of people who grew up with it. You probably got it somewhere between quirky and actually clinical and it has been your explainer ever since. The hat does not take sides in the diagnostic timeline. It just acknowledges the version of you that got named before autism was framed as a spectrum. It fits nicely next to your favorite special interest.

Sensory Notes
Brushed fleece interior, flat woven neck label, banded cuffs that stay put. No drawcord means no flopping laces or aglets. The 320 gsm weight is heavyweight without being stiff — drapes around you, doesn’t armor over you.
Care
Machine wash cold inside-out, tumble dry low. The brushed interior tends to shed lint the first few washes — wash with similar colors to avoid visible traces.
