Inspired by my dad. The man who taught me to live boldly, love fiercely, and never apologize for taking up space.

This collection is a tribute to his spirit and a reminder to every advocate: stay true to yourself, speak up, and keep showing up for the people you love.

Ride your own road.

About Damn Good Advocate

This is advocacy without apology.

Damn Good Advocate is for those who show up, speak up, and advocate — for themselves and for others. From autistic self advocates to parents, educators, therapists, and allies, our community is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to be supported, understood, and included. We are guided and inspired by autistic individuals every day. We are honored to learn from them and stand beside them. Because the world needs more advocates and the courage to be one without apology.

100% of proceeds donated!

Damn Good Advocates has partnered with Oceans of Opportunity, a nonprofit with a beautiful mission: creating an ocean centered community and camp for adults with disabilities, where they can experience independence, connection, and new opportunities in a supportive environment.

To help support their vision, we've created a special collaboration collection. 100% of proceeds from this collection will be donated directly to Oceans of Opportunity. This collaboration is about more than apparel. It's about helping build a future where adults with disabilities have access to meaningful experiences, community, and opportunities to thrive.

FAQ's

How much does shipping cost?

We’re now using a manufacturer for some items we simply can’t keep up with by hand. Because of that, some orders may ship from two different places, which can affect your shipping cost. We’re hoping this setup is temporary, but for now it helps us keep our mission alive while still being present with our kids — our most important job.

Handmade items like puff print, stickers, and magnets are made by us in our office and ship at a flat rate of about $7. Items made by our manufacturer have shipping rates based on your address.

So if your order includes something made by us and something made by our manufacturer, you may see an increase in shipping since they’re coming from two different locations.

What is the return and exchange policy?

All orders are currently final sale. We aren’t able to accept returns or exchanges at this time. Please make sure to check the size chart before ordering, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We’re always happy to help!

What is your cancellation policy?

Orders can only be canceled within 24 hours of being placed. If you accidentally ordered the wrong size or need to update something, reach out to us as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to help you get it resolved!

What’s your shipping like?

We work as quickly as we can to get your order out the door. Once it ships, you’ll get an email with all the tracking details.

Delivery times vary depending on whether your item is handmade or part of our in-stock inventory. Most of our items are made to order, so they can take up to 3 weeks - 1 month to arrive at your doorstep.

And just a heads-up — this timeline doesn’t apply to preorder items, which may take a bit longer.

OOPS! Something is printed wrong

We’ve started using print-on-demand for some of our items so we can keep creating and still be present for our kids. Because of that, mistakes can happen from time to time — like a print being off or the wrong item being sent.

If that happens, don’t stress! Just send us an email at hello@damngoodadvocate.com, and we’ll make it right and get your correct item out to you.

My item is damaged

Our goal is for every customer to be completely satisfied with their purchase. Sometimes mistakes happen — if you received a damaged item, please reach out to us within 72 hours. We’ll always do our best to make it right and get a replacement sent your way.

A note from our Founder, Sam

Where you choose to spend your money matters, and if you've chosen to support Damn Good Advocate, I want you to know how truly grateful I am. Thank you for supporting the autism community. Because of you, we're one step closer to a more inclusive world.
