Different Not Less - Temple Grandin Quote Tee for Autism Acceptance Month
“Different. Not less.” A timeless reminder, and one of the most beloved quotes from Temple Grandin - a trailblazer and advocate who changed how the world understands autism. This design honors her words with simplicity and softness, featuring a nod to her signature Western shirt and a gentle infinity symbol to quietly celebrate neurodiversity.
This shirt isn’t just for Autism Acceptance Month - it’s for anyone who believes in honoring difference, rejecting deficit thinking, and showing up as they are. Whether you’re autistic, a caregiver, or an ally, this design offers a wearable reminder that being different is never a shortcoming. Each shirt is made from soft, sensory-considerate fabric (Bella+Canvas 3001) with a printed neck label - no itchy tags here.
Heather Ice Blue and Athletic Heather Grey are colorways selected specifically for this design, offering additional softness and a calming palette.
Why we made this:
To honor Temple Grandin’s impact and legacy.
To offer autistic and neurodivergent folks (and their families) a shirt that feels like it “gets it.”
To help shift the conversation from awareness to acceptance.
And because autistic people deserve clothing that’s as comfortable as it is kind.
Sizing & Comfort Notes: This shirt runs true to size and is available up to 5X. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and pre-shrunk for an easy, lived-in feel from the first wear.
10% of proceeds from this shirt will be donated directly to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), a nonprofit led by and for autistic people. Softness with a purpose. Comfort without compromise. Buy it, gift it, spark conversation.
