#Repost @inegeek (@get_repost) ・・・ The thing is. I love jigsaw puzzles. Always have. And as a little kid, my favourite colour was blue. Still, I reject both of them as symbols for #autismawareness. The autism organisation that first started using the puzzle piece explained that "the puzzle piece is so effective because it tells us something about autism: our children are handicapped by a puzzling condition; this isolates them from normal human contact and therefore they do not fit in." . Am I a puzzle to be solved, a mystery to other people? Am I incapable of normal human contact? Am I that piece of the puzzle that just won't fit in properly no matter how hard you try? That's not how I want to think about myself. And I don't want other people to think that if they'd just cut a little bit off my corners, I'd fit right in. You know, that last bit of sky that you KNOW can't go anywhere else. But it won't fit. And you don't feel like taking out all the sky pieces and starting over. So you just hammer it in and declare the puzzle solved. Bugger that. I'm not a puzzle. To add insult to injury, the most well-known organisation, Autism Speaks, decided to use the colour blue for their solitary puzzle piece, because "boys are more likely to be affected by autism". Well. Guess what. Girls and women are just as likely to be autistic, we just get overlooked and misdiagnosed. A LOT. I know that the #puzzlepiece and #lightitupblue are the most recognisable symbols of #autismawarenessmonth, but until the harmful stereotypes behind them are eradicated, I won't be using either of them. A variation of the rainbow infinity symbol, created by #actuallyautistic people to represent the autism spectrum, is what I'm using today to celebrate #autisticpride. #nailpolish #nailart #freehand #nailstamping #gradientnails #rainbownails #puzzlenails #clairestelle8april #aprilblissmani2018 #autismacceptance #neurodiversity #dontlightitupblue #redinstead #infinitysymbol

April is autism awareness, as most of you know! Tiffany and I decided to join in the #paintitblue #bluenailsforautism that's going around the nail community. "Nearly a quarter century ago, the Autism Society launched a nationwide effort to promote autism awareness, inclusion and self-determination for all, and assure that each person with ASD is provided the opportunity to achieve the highest possible quality of life." See www.autism-society.org for more information! . .
