Buy a Hoodie or T-shirt

We are partnering with SAS Sport once again this year to bring you our 2024 edition #hoodsup hoodie.

Why hoodies? Many members of the Autistic community use hoodies to reduce sensory input. Plus our hoodies and t-shirts are super soft and very comfy, which can also be helpful for those with sensory sensitivities.
 

The design is from our Autistic Advisor and artist Chanelle Moriah who says:

“As a community, we need to go beyond awareness and move into acceptance. Autism is a spectrum; each and every one of us have our own unique interests and personalities. I wanted this design to represent as much variety as my artistic capabilities allowed. I stuck with the rainbow infinity as that is the symbol that is starting to become more widely recognised as the symbol for autism. The rainbow also represents the spectrum and diversity of the community. For the internal design, I used feedback from our Facebook community and tried to incorporate as many interests as I could within a small space. 
There is obviously no way to encapsulate the full range strengths and passions that this community brings, but my hope was to represent a the idea that there is no one-size-fits-all. We’re all different. So it’s important that we’re not put into boxes. Let everyone have their own voice! You never know what you might learn.”

$10 from every hoodie and $5 from every t-shirt sale goes directly to Autism NZ, so we can continue our work empowering the Autistic and wider Autism communities. Without your support, this work cannot continue, so we are so grateful for your contribution and getting involved! 
The hoodies are mid weight 300 gsm, 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Cotton rich and soft.
