What would you put on a T-shirt to increase positive perceptions of Asperger's?

I'll start (I think I saw this somewhere on this site)

Differently Wired/Differently Wierd

and

On my planet, this behavior is considered normal (seen on a book cover)

That's about what I'd do.

Not exactly "positive" but some humorous stuff nonetheless.

i saw a t-shirt which read "i put the fun in dysfunctional." although some people might say that the use of the word "dysfunctional" is negative.

i also once saw a greeting card which had a picture of cleopatra (naked) stepping in to a bath with a venomous snake in the fore-ground. the caption was "nice asp" which could possibly be developed in to an aspie joke.

Same here. I don't think I would want to tell the whole entire world that I'm an aspie, even though I'm proud of it.

How about one that simply says, "Autistic (or Asperger's) Culture" ? Then people could form their own impression.

However, this might result in people approaching you to ask what it means. That would test my courage.

Would "Sorry, Wrong Planet" or "I don't obsess, I perseverate" be subtle enough?

Just thought of another.
How about one that says Asperger's =
and then a list of all the great stuff people with aspergers have done?

If i were trying to increase the positive perception of aspergers i think that i would just hope the world at large doesnt find out i am one.

I wouldn't mind copying a bit off of Poe and having a T-shirt (not a cheap T but a good quality one with non-crappy lettering) which read:

I don't suffer from Aspergers... I enjoy every minute of it!

Or of course, Serissa's quote simply put:

WIRED TO BE WEIRD

But then again, this last one isn't specific to Aspergers.

How about...

(On the front) Support the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Aspies
(On the back) Quit staring at me/quit touching me/quit using facial expressions/quit using metaphors etc.

Where I come from (or 'on my planet'), making eye contact is staring. On your planet, it's rude to stare. Geddit?

Aspergers: Stim-a-rific!

Autism: (picture of buttons etc lined up according to colour/size/shape) Make Sense?

(Picture of Autism puzzle ribbon) OMG THEY GOT THE COLOURS IN THE WRONG ORDER!! !

Aspies: Intelligent, Intense and stimming like all hell broke loose!

I socialise: it's not my fault that you don't wanna hear about (insert perseveration here).

Wanna come and stim at my place after school?

I'm an Autie... AND I WANT MY RAINBOW BACK!

Flapping: the new chicken dance

Flapping: good for the circulation

Cure Asperger's: get rid of NT's!

Spot the Aspie: (pic of crowd of black stick figures standing up with one rainbow figure sitting off to the side, flapping)

And this one would take a LOT of courage and a LOT of explaining and cause a LOT of confusion:

(picture of rainbow) I'm Autistic, and I'm LITERALLY gay! (gay meaning happy, rainbow being associated with homosexuality and Autism)

I know they are all very stereotypical, but the idea of them makes me giggle!
