F84.5 Asperger Syndrome: Cuffed Beanie
Double-layer acrylic knit, fold-over cuff that stays folded. Stretchy enough for a range of head sizes; low-profile without a pom. Embroidery sits on the cuff — the warmest, thickest part of the hat — so the stitching presses into fabric, not your forehead. No itchy wool. No scratchy tags. No BPA (not that a beanie should ever contain BPA, but here we are).
Embroidered F84.5 on the cuff in the thread color of your choosing. Hat colors run from "blends in" to "I want strangers to comment on this." Pick accordingly.
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
Tagless, flat embroidery, snug-without-pinching fit. The acrylic is the "Turbo" variant — denser knit, more wind resistance, still hypoallergenic. No drawcords, no pom — just a beanie.
Care
Hand-wash cold, lay flat to dry. Hand-washable, machine-survivable on a gentle cycle if you must — but the cuff prefers being shaped, not tumbled.
