About

Please Be Patient, I Have Autism is a photoshop meme typically featuring pictures of various people, characters and objects superimposed with a blue hat embroidered with the phrase "Please be patient / i have autism" on the front.

Origin

On October 21, 2015, Amazon[8] began selling a hat with the phrase "Be patient / with me / I have / autism" printed on the front (shown below, left). On March 11th, 2017, Redditor zipohik posted a screen capture of the character Satanichia Kurumizawa McDowell from the anime Gabriel DropOut with a similar hat superimposed on to her head to the /r/Animemes[4] subreddit (shown below, right).

"Jokes" aside, in my opinion, this hat actually harms autistic children: I mean, frankly, yes, this might (as is it might or not happen) help when a autistic kid/girl is trying to communicate or do something with someone that doesn't know them, and that someone might think "hm, maybe I should go slow with them", but in my opinion that's expecting that your child will find only comprehensive people around them for their entire life, which is very unlikely; if they are throwing a trantum at a restaurant or having a mental breakdown, that hat only helps creating a very bad image of what is like to be a autist. Whoever made these really wanted a easy way of making money.
