F84.5 Asperger Syndrome: Staple T-Shirt
Bella+Canvas 3001 — 4.2 oz airlume combed ringspun cotton, soft from the first wear instead of stiff-new. Side seams stop the torso from spiraling on itself in the wash. Tear-away label means no scratchy tag pressing into your cervical spine. Contains no actual bellas or canvases. Heathers have a slight slub you can feel; solids are smooth. True to size, straight drop, not boxy.
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
Tear-away label, side-seamed body (won't twist), smooth interior. Solids run smooth; heathers have a slight slub you can feel — that's the fiber blend, not a defect.
Care
Machine wash cold inside-out, tumble dry low. The DTF print likes being treated gently; high heat will cook it.
