I was just looking for some good autism awareness products, specifically t-shirts... unfortunately Autism Society doesn't have t-shirts (which is odd), and I'm not going to buy one from Autism Speaks! *cough cough*

So... Does anyone know of some good places to buy shirts/know of a particular t-shirt worth buying?

PS- Sorry if I put this thread in the wrong place

There are literally hundreds on ebay, if you prefer to buy online.

Do any of those shirts go to charities, though? I'd kind of like to buy one where the money goes somewhere...

Sometimes one of the sellers will send a portion of the proceeds to a charity, but usually it either goes in the seller's pocket or towards buying more autism merchandise.

My personal favorite place is CafePress.com - you sometimes have to read closely to see where the money is going (most of the time it's to the creator, but some are for charities as well), but they did have my favorite shirts for my daughter ("Profoundly Autistic - Ridiculously Cute" and "Yes, I am autistic. Stare if you must - I'm not paying attention to you anyway").

This is my personal favourite:

It's from zazzle.com, there's loads of different autism themed slogans including some humerous ones.
