@nprofile1q... Yeah, I didn't think it was meant that way. It is always going to be hard that so much of the history of such conditions (can I even use that word...) is from an era when there was in general, I think, less acceptance for diversity.

@nprofile1q... I find "The organization chose jigsaw pieces for their logo to represent the "puzzling" nature of autism and the inability to "fit in" due to social differences, and also because jigsaw pieces were recognizable and otherwise unused." on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigsaw_puzzle

@nprofile1q... I've never thought the puzzle piece was meant to suggest anyone had anyone missing. I saw it as a symbol of the desire that things fit neatly and precisely. But I'm not sure whether that would be an accurate representation of autism either.

I always quite like gold (Au) as a symbol, but I'm not autistic, at least not officially.
