ADHD Hats

More than 15 million U.S. adults, roughly 1 in 17, have been diagnosed with ADHD, according to a CDC study, and about half of them were diagnosed at 18 or older. The people who have it talk about it with a self-mocking pride and a vocabulary of their own: neurospicy, hyperfocus, executive dysfunction, the doom pile (Didn't Organize, Only Moved) and the ADHD tax, the extra money a distractible brain costs in fines, late fees and replacement purchases. These hats put that vocabulary on a dad hat, every line aimed at the wearer's own brain and nobody else's. ADHD and NEUROSPICY are the plain badges, and NO REST FOR THE NEUROSPICY is the motto. The sentence designs are the in-jokes. HIGHWAY TO HEY LOOK A SQUIRREL is the distraction joke, EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION is the clinical term turned into a shrug, and HYPERFOCUSED ON THE WRONG THING covers the four hours spent on a hobby nobody asked about. ADHD TAX PAID IN FULL is the receipt for every library fine, late fee and yet another pair of replacement scissors, and ALL SIDE QUESTS NO MAIN QUEST is the video-game version of a to-do list. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. The two strongest lines, HIGHWAY TO HEY LOOK A SQUIRREL and HYPERFOCUSED ON THE WRONG THING, each come in a second colorway. Wear it yourself, or buy it for the person in your house whose new hobby lasted a month.
