Aspies For Freedom

I have had a really aspie-licious fiftieth birthday today , despite the torrential rain. (We had to hide in the garage some of the time!)

Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to customize my t-shirt - several people commented!

And special thanks to Batman55 and sarahjoke for the word and the artwork.

After a lovely conversation, one couple, who at first expressed great surprise that I am an Aspie,  have even decided that the husband (a nurse) is probably autistic.

Oh, and I received a lot of necklaces as presents, and put them all on!

Me with the youngest guest (nearly ten months old):


Me and some of the guests:


"Does my bum look big in this?":


Trying to break the camera:

  Happy Birthday, Tigger!  

Thank you for the pics...lovely yard you have, perfect for a garden party.  And the T-shirt looks great!  

Thank you everybody!

*Blushes*

I went to our excellent local autism society to buy the t-shirt. When the 'honorary aspie' (according to his badge! ) in charge of publicity found out that I wanted to wear it at my party, he let me have it for free!

I then trawled through some old posts/internet sites for suitable symbols and printed them onto a transfer sheet to cut up and iron onto the t-shirt.

I now have an 'aspie-licious' t-shirt that I can wear whenever I'm out and about where lots of people will see it.

Given the success, I have decided that I will now decorate some of my plain t-shirts, too!

I'm not sure about sweatpant butts, though.....

D'oh I missed the post. I knew it was this weekend but thought it was today.
Happy belated birthday Tigger.
I think you look very nice.
As a wise woman once said "Aspie women are very tasty.....honk, honk!" I know I am a nasty man. LOL
It looks like it was an awesome day!

Happy birthday Tigger!

Thank you Guardian!
Thank you Pakrat!

Bad boy!

Still, it's nice to get compliments....

It was an awesome day! Looking around the guests we realised that, as well as South Australian locals, they came from:
England
Scotland
Ireland
Greece
India
The Philippines
South Africa

We are truly blessed to have so many lovely people to call friends, as it made it less painful missing my lovely family.

My parents stayed up till gone midnight so that they could ring from England to wish me a happy birthday.

My daughter is on holiday in Spain at the moment, but she rang me (on her Irish mobile... I dread to think what it will cost her) so that my grandson and I could sing 'Happy Birthday' to each other - he was born on my 44th birthday. He upstaged me by singing 'Happy Birthday' in Irish!

Thank you!

Sorry to miss you out of the previous thanks, I was sloooowly typing as you were posting.

I'm starting to fill up here - what a great bunch of people you are on AFF.

Still, I did what I promised and 'advertised' both AFF and 'aspie-licious'!

Thanks for using my "invention," Tigger!  And happy birthday, of course.

(You do realise when I said a "wise woman once said" that I was joking?......I don't really consider that woman wise?) OK all good! LOL

Yes, Rossco - I 'got it'. I'm 50, not 150!

I was saying 'bad boy' for a lot of things in your post...

Thank you, Batman! It is a very good invention.

Sorry missed this thread...belated happy birthday Tigger!

Thank you for the lovely balloons and cake!

Wow! That took a great deal of time and effort - thank you!

I am glad that I was able to advertise AFF!

Thank you for the compliments! It was a fun party!

Actually, I would very much like a higher-resolution version for 'solo printing' (nothing else on the shirt). I would have bought one from your site, but I don't have a credit card. Could you post a link to it, or would you like me to PM my email address?
