As someone with autism, I really appreciate the thought that went into this post! Thank you for helping to spread awareness around!
Entering for 97!
EDIT: Just one thing I caught; please don't associate us with the puzzle piece symbol. A large majority of if not all of us don't want to be associated with it for reasons I'd rather not get into, but long story short it's associated with an organization (Autism Speaks) that claims to support us but,,, really doesn't
EDIT 2: Ok after a more thorough readthrough rather than a surface level skim I've caught more stuff and am retracting most of my earlier statements; hecateslesbian hit the nail on the head so I'll just redirect you to their post if you want explanations but TLDR: Autie/aspie, the puzzle piece symbol, and the high-functioning/low-functioning labels are all harmful for various reasons, and no, we don't need to be 'treated' thank you very much. I understand good intent went into this post but more thorough research was clearly needed here.
