Anyone know what the theme is this year?

For example, it was something like 'acceptance, not cure' last year

If not, let's hear some suggestions from you WrongPlanteers!

As it'd be my first day to celebrate it (only found out about it a month ago), I'd like it to focus on Aspie/Autie creativity. Everything from painting to writing to music to sculptures would be presented and veiwed to show the world just how dang creative we are. Cockney'd probably make a Routemaster out of toothpicks just for the occaision! Me? Well, I'd bring in a draft of what I've got so far of my story. Even then, it'll be a whopper! If Autistic Pride Day celebrated creativity, what'd you bring?

Oh, and don't forget to suggest other themes too! (don't want to ruin the subject of this topic, you see)

I have some chocolate wrapped in cellophane which I got for my birthday on November 5th as chocolate won't last that long, I expect I'll be making a drawing/collage out of it.
I made a poster for it today.

Yeh, I know I'm early - I'll forget otherwise.

This year's slogan should be

"Celebrate the unique Personalities that us people on the Spectrum have!"
