We’ve got a new & updated flyer!!! Some of us were recently made aware that the puzzle piece is not as widely accepted in the autism community any longer, & has been replaced by the infinity symbol.
Here’s a simple explanation as to why: “the puzzle piece was later replaced with a rainbow-colored infinity symbol. The infinity symbol represents the idea that autism is a vast and complex spectrum that includes individuals with a wide range of strengths and challenges. It also represents the boundless potential & resilience, the endless learning, growth & achievements that people on the spectrum can attain when given the proper support & opportunities.”
