Very much like this:

PaulAspie,
The puzzle piece represents the idea that there's a part of us missing and that we're only partially people with a mystery to be solved to put back the missing piece. The infinity symbol in contrasts symbolizes we're indeed whole people with infinite possibilities across a spectrum. |

| From my point of view it seems like even if the cure were purely opt in by the individual, there would be risk of parents deciding for their child to receive it without their input, or those who decline the treatment may receive further stigma by being okay with how they are. |
