The mark
A puzzle piece,and an infinity sign.A respectful nod to a symbol many people associate with autism.
What the mark says.
The puzzle piece has been autism's most recognized symbol for decades. It did important work. It also carried a shadow: a piece implies something missing, something incomplete, something to be solved.
The infinity sign is the symbol the autistic community chose for itself: a counter-statement. Autistic lives are not broken. They are continuous and whole.
We fused them. The piece does not disappear. The infinity does not replace it. One object holds both truths.
Symbol breakdown
Two symbols.
One mark.
The piece
Classic jigsaw silhouette, recognized instantly. Carried by autism organizations since the 1960s. We keep it because erasing it would be its own kind of erasure.
The infinity
The lemniscate, the sideways figure-8. Adopted by the autistic community as the rainbow infinity to say: autistic people are not missing anything. The loop is complete.
The color
The whole mark flows through the neurodiversity spectrum, the rainbow the autistic community chose. The pieces are Puzzably. The loop is the infinity they claimed.
Our commitments
What we commit to.
We do not speak for autistic people. We listen to them, point support toward the organizations they lead, and get out of the way.
We use identity-first language (autistic person) unless an individual prefers person-first. Both are valid.
We will not run an autism awareness month campaign. Awareness is not the work.
We do not describe autism as a tragedy, a burden, or something to be cured.
We name the organizations we point people to and link straight to their own sites. No vague gestures.
See the cause and the organizations we point to.
Named organizations, honest context on each, and a direct link to their own sites.
