Hehe, not entirely... maybe just "screening our calls" a little.

P.S. - SaveFerris, Good call adding the "E". It fixed the reference and looks better balanced too. Win-win!


Still your idea dude :D I want a free t-shirt when you start selling them though :lol:

I hadn't really thought that far into it. I'd gladly give you one gratis though.


Sweet ! XXL please :lol:

There are shirts on Cafe Press that say As[Pi symbol]e. Not the numeric representation, but similar. Also, I noticed in doing a search on WP that there were WP T-shirts back in 2007 but no longer available on Cafe Press :(

I've thought of the one I want. Also, a "screening calls" of sorts. I think I'm going to go to a craft store and see what options they have for iron on and start there.

Why on earth would you want to tell everyone you’re autistic ??

I don’t want people knowing I’m autistic.
I wish I wasn’t autistic.
I don’t wish to be harassed.

Why?
All I want is to be normal and have a relationship and be loved. Cause of autism that will never happen. I’ll jusr become a bitter woman hater.

And here I was thinking I had a new concept. :shrug: Oh well. :)
Maybe I could do one that depicts a snake that vaguely resembles an Asp. Not really an asp, but "asp-y". Ok, maybe not. :scratch:

^ That sounds cool. There's also a T-shirt on that same site that has just a cartoon picture of a donkey/ass and two hamburgers and nothing else. I thought it was clever.

That sounds like the type of derogatory comments members on this forum have had thrown at them in the past.

I personally am cool with it , I'm all for self deprecating humour , it usually nullifies a lot of stupid people comments.

I like this one :twisted:

In general: A person doesn't have to be a "woman-hater" if the person doesn't want to be a "woman-hater."

A person is a person. A person has a mind of his/her own.

You have a good point about the shirt being viewed as derogatory by some. I wasn't thinking of it that way. I liked that it was a pictogram.

Side note: I remember a mention of "uses self-deprecating humor" from my docs' notes. I doubt it factored into ASD considerations, but I always wondered why they bothered to note that. Even still, "ass burger" "jokes" were making the rounds even before Mr. Parker & Mr. Stone and I did my best to avoid them in school. So, the self-deprecating shirts may be best appreciated by the seasoned, Aspie elders. It took me a while to be okay with it and I couldn't fault anyone who isn't.

I understand that dude , I'd understand if you were never cool with it. As someone who was diagnosed recently , autism wasn't even on my radar , I didn't really understand the South Park jokes tbh ( heard the name Aspergers but didn't know much more ). That could be one reason I'm O.K with it , I've never had it used against me except in sarcasm.
