Girls my autism swag shirt

The other day, I was scrolling through Etsy, you know, just killing time, and this shirt popped up, bright pink letters plastered across a black tee: Girls my autism swag shirt. It stopped me dead. I’ve always been a bit…well, quirky. A lot of the time I just feel like I’m observing the world through a slightly foggy window, seeing everything but never quite grasping the whole picture perfectly. I’m usually good at masking, which I did for years, but lately, I’ve been feeling the urge to just… let it all hang out. The shirt was a little too bold, a bit too loud for me, at least in that moment, but I loved the sentiment.

The thing is, it’s not a secret anymore. My diagnosis came years ago, but it’s not something I wave around. Truthfully, I usually only bring it up when it feels necessary. Work, for instance, where I sometimes need to explain why I have to sit in a quiet corner, or why certain sensory input makes me want to scream. But there’s this weird sort of camaraderie with other neurodivergent people, a knowing glance, an understanding that goes beyond words.

Wearing that shirt, I imagine, would be an invitation to those people. It’d be like a secret handshake. A signal that says, “Hey, I’m one of you. I get it.” I also imagined some of the looks. The stares. The judgements. The whole “you don’t look autistic” thing. I’d have to brace myself, which can be exhausting. I can just feel that in my bones sometimes.

My thoughts drifted back to a particularly bad day last month. A crowded train. The screech of the brakes. Someone humming off-key. It was all a bit too much. I had to get off, find a quiet bench, and just -breathe- for ten minutes. Then I remembered the joy in small things, how the sun shines through the leaves in a particular way in the afternoon. The shirt is about embracing those moments, too.

I think the biggest thing about owning who you are and letting yourself be seen is the relief. You can stop trying so hard. You can let the mask slip, a little. Maybe the shirt wouldn’t be for me to wear every day, but it could be a reminder. A nudge to be authentic. A reason to maybe have a few laughs.
