As an autistic person who uses and supports the puzzle piece as a symbol for autism,
I have not had ANY issues using it from allistics, but here's some things autistic people have done about it:
•been told I'm not apart of the autism community
•been told i support a hate symbol and am ableist
•been told I'm not autistic
•been told to delete my accounts and never come back online
•been told I'm a horrible person
•told I have never been told I am a problem before/made assumptions about the way people have treated me
It's the "educated" autistic people, who think you are more educated than people who use the puzzle piece. I am bullied for using the puzzle piece by my own community and told I'm not even apart of it. I'm fake claimed and invalidated.
The main harm that the puzzle piece causes. Is ignorant autistic people bullying the parents and carers of autistics or autistic people for using it.
(In detail explanation about this under "read more")
Did you know the 🌈♾️ rainbow infinity symbol was popularised by aspie supremacists? on "autistic pride day" a day that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspies_For_Freedom aspies for freedom, a group of aspie supremacists, created, was represented by a rainbow infinity symbol, this was the start of the rainbow infinity symbol being associated with autism. Aspies for freedom believed autism isn't always a disability, and called themselves aspies.
I don't use it, because why the heck would I want to associate myself with aspie supremacists? It's still very common amongst aspie supremacists to this day.
The puzzle piece was agreed to be a symbol for NAS, an autistic person was in the room whilst they decided this, this was 60 years ago. It was intended to represent autism is a puzzling conditon. Which is true. Let me list some more things it can represent:
•a diagnosis was the last piece in the puzzle
This can be especially relatable for people who when they where very young doctors spent years testing them for different things wondering about their developmental delays, and a diagnosis finnaly making sense. This can also be relatable to people who spent their entire life undiagnosed until their 20s or 30s etc and a diagnosis made their childhood all make sense.
•autistic people are all different but we come together as a community
•an autism diagnosis helps the puzzle of your life
•an autism diagnosis helps you find the other missing pieces of your life for example other diagnosis or services
And more!!!
Helping the puzzle piece become more popular, directly helps the nonverbal/nonspeaking, level 3, HSN and BIPOC autistics in the autism community such as rivers brother who is black and level 3 and nonverbal. He uses is a puzzle piece top to represent to police in America that he's autistic so they don't (consciously or unconsciously, mosr people have internalised racism, wether pepple want to or not behaviour they would label as simply innocent in a white person they will label violent in a black male) perceive him as violent and potentially cause serious harm, or even shoot him.
You using the puzzle piece helps it be more common, and more widely known, which helps autistic people like rivers brother be even more safe out in public.
Autistic people like rivers brother will never EVER need to stop using the puzzle piece this idea of "phasing out the puzzle piece" is not safe, it puts people like rivers brothers lives at risk. You will not be able to successfully phase it out when there is so many people who rely on it and can't risk spending a few months-years waiting until you have successfully re made all the government plans with the infinity symbol instead and not the puzzle piece (because yes, they exist, in some places people with a nonspeaking or a child who elopes put a puzzle piece sticker on their car window so emergency services are aware) and you have made it so people world wide know about the rainbow infinity enough so pepple can rely on it.
"Just use the sunflower lanyard!" It's only really a big thing in Britain, it's also a sensory issue for many to wear the lanyard, it's also not as well known as the puzzle piece. If someone out in public wore a sunflower top would you think they are autistuc or would you think they are just wearing a sunflower top? It's also for all invisibly disabilities.

happy autism awareness month i think that futaba should be allowed to bully goro actually (yes those are real shirts)
#goro akechi#futaba sakura#persona 5#autism#fuck the puzzle piece all my homies hate the puzzle piece#this also didnt take long to make i just saw the shirts and knew what needed to be done#being an enjoyer of the “autistic futaba and goro” headcanon and the “shido is futabas father” headcanon has unfortunate implications#rumpart

ik i said i'm on a break but
i just found this while browsing on the hot topic website--
for context: the autism awarness puzzle piece is a symbol originally created by the organisation Autism Speaks, which treats autistic ppl like shit. their goal is to, quote, ''ultimately eradicate autism for the sake of future generations.'' they also compared autism with deadly diseases. its also getting criticized for the fact that they put the focus of the work not on autistic ppl, but on parents and their hurdles. they treat autism purely deficiently.
also the puzzle piece clearly implies that autistic ppl have ''a missing piece''
both is just.. yikes..

What if I like the puzzle piece? What if I think it does describe me + my life? What if I believe it’s reclaimable?
What if I use what ever symbol makes ME happy for MYSELF, you respect that, and I use the symbol that make YOU happy for YOU, and I respect that.
What if we just respect each others choice with out being bitchy bout it?

Also i have seen people who reclaimed it say that it symbolizes how the autism diagnosis felt like that one puzzle piece who was missing and finally clicked into place
It can have multiple meanings, and tho personally i dont reclaim it, full support to those who do!!
this user is reclaiming the puzzle piece
we had to redo this, as we made the puzzle piece blue. so we chose purple. remember, Autism Speaks made the BLUE puzzle piece, and are not the original creators of the puzzle piece

hey just a small psa: stop telling autistic folks what symbols they should and shouldn't use.
if an autistic individual wants to use the infinity symbol, let them. if an autistic individual wants to reclaim the puzzle piece, let them. hell, if an autistic individual wants to use both, LET THEM. thank you, and happy autism acceptance month.
#autism#actually autistic#autism acceptence month#autism acceptance#infinity symbol#puzzle piece#autistic pride#autistic and proud#i know most posts telling people to not use the puzzle piece are directed towards allistics or anyone who's generally neurotypical#but i've been seeing autistic folks that *do* use the puzzle piece get harassed for using it and it's extremely frustrating#fuck autism speaks

My neurodivergent friends, what do you think about this?
I really don’t like the puzzle piece. It makes autistic people look like they are “puzzling” or that something is “missing” from us. It’s also the logo of the hate group Autism Speaks.
I understand that it has different meanings. But…I just don’t like it. At all.
That’s just my opinion, but I want to hear from you guys. What do you think of the puzzle piece? Do you think it represents autism as it should? Let me know.
#autism#actually autistic#puzzle piece#tw autism speaks#I don’t like this logo#there’s nothing missing or puzzling about us#I don’t think it fits within the autistic community#use the infinity symbol instead#autism advocacy#neurodivergence#actually neurodivergent#feel free to add your thoughts#please feel free to share
