Presume Competence Christian Neurodiversity Hoodie

Some messages are worth spelling out. This is definitely one of them.

The “Let Me Spell It Out for You: Presume Competence” sweatshirt features a colorful alphabet communication board paired with a clear reminder to recognize the intelligence, understanding, and capability of people whose communication may look different from what others expect.

It’s especially meaningful for nonspeaking and minimally speaking neurodivergent Christians, AAC users, and the advocates who stand beside them. Parents, educators, caregivers, ministry leaders, friends, and allies can wear it as a simple but powerful reminder: communication differences are not evidence of a lack of competence.

Printed on the Lane Seven LS19001, this sweatshirt gives the advocacy-centered design a cozy home for cooler days, casual outings, church activities, school events, and anywhere the message needs to be seen.

Different Communication. Same Human Dignity.

Not everyone communicates through speech—and not everyone shows what they know in ways other people immediately recognize. Presuming competence means making room for communication differences while treating each person as someone worthy of being heard, included, respected, and taken seriously.

And really, the sweatshirt already spelled it out for us.

Presume competence. Then give people the opportunity to show you why.
