My Answer to the "Slogan" Challenge

I wanted to use the idea of unity. But we also come with many different experiences and perspectives.  However, we all have the common goal of wanting the best for people who  have Autism. Therefore, we need to find a way to stay connected despite our unique viewpoints and situations.

Then, I also wanted it to be clearly related to Autism.  There are powerful, conflicting responses to discussions in any community that is so personally and emotionally invested in a cause.  The well-known symbol related to Autism is the puzzle pieces.

I think puzzle pieces work as an excellent symbol on many levels here.  A puzzle is made up of many different pieces, and each one is unique.  If you want to complete the puzzle, all the pieces must join together. If any piece does not connect properly with the others, something is missing, and the overall picture is lost.

Just so in the Autism community. Everyone involved is allowed to have their unique perceptions. But we must respect them all equally and work together, or else all of our goals for enhancing the lives of those touched by Autism will not be achieved.
