Archive Of Featured Shirts

To coin a phrase, "Some of my best friends can't talk." Actually, it happens to be true as well! Hi Maree!

There are many reasons why somebody might not talk - even the disabilities that I have myself can leave someone unable to speak. The important part is establishing other ways to communicate, and using the methods that work best for you.

... and wearing this shirt, of course.

I think it's definitely about time that people with disabilities had a go at world domination. After all, we know that nobody else has done it very well!

Note: I've been told by a lot of people with autism-spectrum diseases that they really loved this particular shirt! The non-neuro-typical are very welcome here.

I don't know what it is, but this shirt but it just makes everybody laugh ... whether they're disabled or just drunk!

Can I just confess complete ignorance on this one, please? I get the feeling it might be safer for my brain.

There are approximately seven point three billion doses of capsules, tablets, pills, potions, powders, lotions, creams, sprays and patches that I take every day to cope with the symptoms of my dozen-or-so diseases.

I figure that if that doesn't qualify me as "over-medicated", nothing ever will!

In my family of three brothers, myself, and my two parents, there are only two people that haven't been dyslexic all their lives - myself, Ricky, and my Dad. And I have become dyslexic because of the cognitive effects of my ME/CFS, so at the moment five out of the six of us are effectively dyslexic.

It seemed to follow naturally that at least one NoPity Shirt should focus on dyslexia. This is my first dyslexia shirt, and the family has pronounced that they like it and bombarded me with ideas for more of them, so I suspect it won't be my last!

I Do It This Way Because It's Easier!

Why else would anybody do something in a certain way?

Doing things differently to others comes with the territory, when you have a disability or chronic illness. Do you use a wheelchair, scooter, crutches, hearing aids ... or any other disability equipment for that matter? Or do you just modify the way you go about things?

If you're tired of people asking why you do it that way, then this shirt should solve the problem for you!

This is one of my favourite shirts. It was designed at the request of some people with invisible disabilities who were tired of never being recognized as having a disability.

I have an ongoing fantasy that everybody with a disability - visible or invisible - gets one of these shirts, or one like it, and then all on the same day we turn up wearing our shirts. Imagine all the non-disabled people gaping at everybody!
