Who wants to start a fundraiser to get Phil a 1000 piece jigsaw? Or is that a-loggin?

 

[BadaBadaBoom]

She wants to have the ribbon be made of people?

 

[El Rodrigo]

Oh, look. Another group of people that got offended at trivial bullshit. "Oh noes, puzzle pieces offend us now!" Boo-fucking-hoo.

 

[CornetteFace]

She wants to have the ribbon be made of people?

Who else wanted that? Leatherface.

 

[VenomPlug]

Phil, stop using tattoos to represent/symbolize transsexual communism

 

[autisticdragonkin]

I think that we should make the puzzle ribbon only symbolize ADF because overall autists are just as puzzling as normal people but ADF is a living 5 dimensional jigsaw puzzle

Who wants to start a fundraiser to turn him into a Jigsaw puzzle?

 

[TheEnforcer]

I hate to admit it, but Phil is right. Autism awareness needs a new symbol. It is cruel to deride autists as puzzle pieces.
That is why I propose a new symbol. One that raises awareness by showing that under our skin we are all the same:

Quotes from his blog-

There is then the issue of the implications of using a puzzle piece. It implied that we are something to be solved or fixed, which simply isn’t true. We don’t need to be fixed, or solved there’s nothing wrong with us, and most attempts to fix us, such as ABA are actively harmful. This implication of the puzzle piece is reflected is autism speaks “until all the pieces fit” rhetoric, and reinforces the idea that we are broken.

Another thing the puzzle piece is supposed to symbolise is the “mystery and complexity of autism”. Autism is no more mysterious or complex than any other neurological disorder really. And it doesn’t exist as a thing separable from autistic people, so they’re really trying to say that we’re mysterious because they don’t understand us. Clue: Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s mysterious.

Hope for autistic people. What does that mean? “hope through research and awareness” doesn’t sound very good to me. Research seems like cure, because, well has the understanding of the neurotypical brain really improved neurotypical lives? Are most allistic people somehow better off than they were a hundred years ago because we now know which part of the brain is connected to emotions? Obviously not.

My fucking sides

It's funny because Phil couldn't finish a puzzle and he is autistic.

 

[AnOminous]

That puzzle piece is pretty bad. It just doesn't say what needs to be said.

I suggest an improved line of autism awareness images, using actual people with autism to share the truth about this condition and inform the public about the characteristics of these unfortunate people.

Now, I'm not an artist, so this is probably a bit crude, but I think it gets the job done. We need more like this.

"People not puzzles".

So they want the international representation of autism to be... an obvious sperg? A group of obvious spergs? I don't see how you can make that palatable to PC standards by just showing a picture of a clearly autistic person.

 

[Yellow Yam Scam]

One of the most confounding things about autism/aspergers/the spectrum is how many sufferes seem to know that they have a thing in their head that makes them sometimes say things that are fucking stupid but aren't able to translate that into "maybe I need to shut up sometimes." What a curse, to be smart enough to realize you're stupid but not have that one piece of intelligence that lets you know to chill the fuck out.

The fact that you're having a bitchfit over a logo when so many other autistic people have no problem with it just cements that you people are a wild ass unsolvable puzzle.

 

[kobebyarlant]

Phil wants the ribbon to be made of road signs.

In Philspeak, suggesting that is "playing the Asperger's card" and is bullying him. This was literally why he dropped his entire group of college friends. Because they "played the card" in an effort to get him to stop doing what he eventually got kicked out of college for.

 

[Peace and Harmony]

We should change the logo to be a train.

 

[Android raptor]

I actually kind of agree with him due to the dehumanizing aspect plus it being created by Autism Speaks IIRC (which is to Autistics what homophobic hate groups are to lgbtq people), but yeah overall we have far bigger fish to fry like, say, trying to keep people from murdering their kids or shoving bleach up their asses. Shit that spoiled sjws tend not to realize are things that happen.

As a side, my friend and I were joking the other day that if anything should be a symbol of autism it should be a train or Sonic or some shit. Or Sonic on a train.

 

[The Dude]

I'm quite aware of autism. I just don't give a fuck.

 

[Positron]

Asspies are not puzzle pieces; they're the spoiled kids who trash a finished puzzle.
