Product Details

Quiet Advocacy, Made Visible

A calm way to self-advocate, created with care for the autism community.

This embroidered dad hat carries the gentle message: “Please be patient, I’m autistic.” It’s designed for autistic adults who want to communicate their needs clearly without having to explain. Whether you’re navigating sensory overwhelm, travelling, or simply moving through a busy day, this cap offers comfort and quiet advocacy.

Why This Hat Matters

You may see similar hats online with the wording “please be patient I have autism.” At HeyASD, we honour the autistic community by using identity-first language — “I’m autistic” — because autism is not an illness to be “had,” but an identity to be respected. This hat offers a more authentic and empowering alternative.

What We Needed Didn't Exist, So We Made It

We make things differently. Sensory-safe, thoughtfully crafted, and grounded in the quiet power of people who’ve lived it.

Every piece is a small rebellion against discomfort, created for those who’ve spent a lifetime adapting to the world instead of being met by it.

You won’t find these designs anywhere else, because no one else makes them like this.

Here, we show up exactly as we are, unmasked, unfiltered, unapologetic, creating what should have existed all along.

Created by autistic adults for autistic adults. Every detail made to feel good.
