What should be the symbol for AS?

The puzzle piece is meant to symbolize the thing we're lacking, whatever that is. The thing that allegedly would make us neurotypical if we had it.

I see the puzzle piece differently than you. To me it signifies what little they do know about us.
 
I can really identify with this sphere.



Not me, but rather the people who cam up with it. The Wrights and A$.
No,the way I see it is that they will never be able to figure us out,so we remain their puzzle. We already have them figured out because they aren't as complex as us ;)
 
I like the dandelion idea also, there is an issue with it though. Will male aspies want to be represented by a flower?
 
Why should flowers be a ''female only'' kind of thing anyway? I don't know how many autistic males (AS means Autism Spectrum, not aspergers) would be too macho to accept a flower as a symbol, especially since it's not a frilly and girly kind of flower, it's considered a weed.
 
You should ask them instead of assuming anything about what they may or may not want Aspierin.
 
I guess so, but it would be a shame that such a good symbol would be rejected just because it's ''too unmanly''...
 
I keep finding a post to read, then discovering that it's two or more years old. :p

I like the rainbow infinity symbol, or rainbow moebius infinity symbol. I saw someone explain that using the infinity symbol because it has room for all of us on the spectrum, even though we have a wide range of talents and impairments. And rainbow for the spectrum thing. :-)
