On creating spaces for autistic people
On creating spaces for autistic people
The words "building spaces for autistic people" over a castle background. There are bookshelves in the corners and candles on the floor and a window in the middle. In the top right there is an autistic pride flag of 5 different colors.
@RosethornRangerTTV I very much reject calling that (a black infinity over a pastel rainbow) an "autism pride" flag.
I would accept neurodiversity pride, because rainbow infinity is neurodiversity and I'm tired of fellow autistics erasing everyone else...
This is an autism pride flag, note the emphasis of the gold in the middle, because the autism symbol is a gold infinity (it's a pun on gold's chemical symbol being Au... and you know us and puns).
interesting do you have any other reading on it? When I found the flag that is how it was described. The colors were chosen specifically as a relation to the autistic experience
@RosethornRangerTTV Honestly I don't think there's any remotely standardized flag, that one I used was pulled from Wikipedia and was just an example of a more appropriate flag.
Part of the problem on the reading is that it's a trainwreck mess, mostly because most autistics treat neurodiversity as a synonym for autistic when we're only a subset of it (ie. BPD, PTSD, ADHD, etc etc)
Sadly I don't have easy specific sources on the matter.
Any searches you do will find more results confusing the two than results that differentiate unfortunately. But if you dig in you'll find that the rainbow infinity started as neurodiversity specifically and a lot of results will half-acknowledge that (usually by just saying it's a neurodiversity symbol and forgetting that means more than just autism)
