*By the AuDHD Club team (an autistic dad and an ADHD mom) · Updated October 29, 2026 · Other shops’ facts checked on their own sites on October 29, 2026.*

The big marketplace for handmade and printed goods, autism and ADHD shirts included: many independent shops, each setting its own prices, shipping and returns. Here’s how we compare, with their facts linked to their own pages.

## Side by side

|  | AuDHD Club | Etsy |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Who makes it | Written by an autistic + ADHD household in Canada; each piece is printed to order by our production partners, mostly in the US, some in Canada and Europe | Whichever independent seller you pick; materials, blanks and print quality vary by shop |
| Designs | Funny and proud slogans about autism, ADHD and AuDHD, plus the gold and rainbow infinity. Never a puzzle piece | Every style, from many sellers. Check each design yourself if you want to avoid puzzle pieces or “awareness” imagery |
| Tags and fabric | Tees, crewnecks and hoodies have a printed neck label instead of a sewn-in tag. Regular seams; no built-in fidget tools | Depends on the seller and the blank they use: check each listing |
| Price | Tees from $37.99, crewnecks from $56.99, hoodies from $67.99 (CAD) | Set by each seller |
| Duties | Priced in CAD and shipped within Canada, with no surprise duties at the door | When a seller ships from another country, Etsy says the buyer is generally responsible for duties, taxes and customs fees, and checkout shows a notice that they may apply |
| If something goes wrong | Made to order, so no change-of-mind returns. Misprinted, damaged or wrong items replaced free within 30 days | Etsy Purchase Protection: if an order doesn’t arrive, arrives damaged or doesn’t match the listing, message the seller first, then open a case 48 hours later |
| Returns | One policy for every order: no change-of-mind returns, free replacements for our mistakes | Each seller sets its own return policy, and every sale is subject to it |
| Gives back | 5% of every order goes to Good Foot Delivery | Depends on the seller |

## Who should pick which

### Pick AuDHD Club if…

- You want one shop, one return promise and one price in CAD, with nothing to pay at the door.
- You never want to see a puzzle piece: we don’t use them, anywhere.
- You want every line written by autistic and ADHD people, about their own lives.
- You want the printed neck label on every tee, crewneck and hoodie, with the fabric and size chart on each product page.
