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.
