Neurodivergency brands

Expecto_Patronum

I'm intrigued by people's opinions on neurodivergent branding. I'm seeing lots of clothes brands pop up that have autism/ADHD/neurodivergency slogans etc as their branding. As much as I'm fully behind neurodivergency awareness and acceptance, I have zero desire to wear clothing symbolising it. It seems an odd concept to me to have your disability written on your clothes. I can accept my autism and ADHD without needing to literally wear them and I don't need every person I pass in the street knowing that I'm AuDHD. Each to their own and if people enjoy wearing such things then fair enough. I just wondered how other people feel about these clothes?

  • I wasn't aware of them, unless they were in my personal style and in colours I like I wouldn't choose them over other clothes. I doubt they'd be in my sizes anyway and if not it would probably upset and annoy me and I would challenge people as I have brands that claim eco credentials, the clothes are all made for tiny people and my challenge is 'am I to big to be eco friendly?'

    I think this is a marketing gimmick to be honest, trying to make a thing out of othering, if you other yourself then your not really othered. I bet these clothes are really expensive too?
