me and my husband have decided to no longer use the puzzle symbol. I want people to learn about what the reality (positives and challenges) of living with autism means but this last year as been a water shed moment for the world of autism. This is awareness but the context of the awareness is diverse and media driven. I have decided that my sybolism regarding autism needs to by as dynamic and unique as my beliefs. I also have an understandin that we all get something different out of visuals and take responsibility in portraying my beliefs in a way that others "get it".

Where did you find that? I'd love a framed print in our home. It fits to a tee... and is a positive symbol of the gift I have been given, not the constant reminder of the mess I am dealing with (which is what the puzzle means to me). Thanks for posting it!
