My dad wants to make me a t-shirt that says I know that you believe I understand what I think you said, but I'm not sure you realize that what I heard is not what you meant.
which is "I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” (which was said by someone in US government a long time ago, apparently) but with the 'you' and 'I' switched - because I misinterpret stuff, and then I don't know I've misinterpreted so the person talking to me doesn't know, until we both get totally confused!
He then came up with a t-shirt slogan/joke that says
ASPIES ARE COOL place in the oven on gas mark 4 to warm up
cause Aspies take stuff literally 
And for those of you fed up with psychologists - read this joke

That's funny except if someone really did take it literally!

How about:
"ASPIES ARE COOL! Recommend 2 minutes in microwave at 1/2 power before serving."
Or just 'microwave for 2 minutes to warm up'.

I wouldn't mind having a shirt with that on it because I'm like that from time to time.

Nobody where I live knows what Asperger's Syndrome is anyway.
When I was first diagnosed, though, I thought it would be cool to have a tank top printed which I could wear when I go clubbing to ward off unwanted attention from leechy drunk guys who want to touch me. I envisaged one of those radioactive symbols, followed by this text:
Warning!
APERGER'S SYNDROME
Do not touch!
MELTDOWN IMMINENT
Where I live, there is an enormous HIV-positive population, so anything with "syndrome" in it sounds frighteningly terminal and contagious.

They're not Autism or Aspergers specific, but there's actual T shirts sold about geeky specific interests that I liked.
