F84.5 Asperger Syndrome: Pom-Pom Beanie
Double-layer acrylic knit — stretchy and warm, with a rolled cuff that doubles over your ears. The fit is snug without pinching; how far you pull it down controls the slouch. Flat embroidery sits on the dome so nothing raised or scratchy presses against your forehead. The pom survives regular wear. Spare it the dryer. Contains no nuts.
Embroidered F84.5 on the cuff in the thread color of your choosing. Available in solid and two-tone hat colors — pick one that pairs with your jacket, your mood, or your fully justified reluctance to commit to a single aesthetic.
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, double-layer knit (warmth without weight). Acrylic doesn't itch the way wool can. The pom is decorative — if it bothers you, snip the threads and you've got a regular cuffed beanie.
Care
Hand-wash cold, lay flat to dry. The dryer murders pom-poms. Don't.
