I changed the words at the bottom to be "Proud to be Autistic" on the top it still says "I was put on this planet to puzzle you"

My name is ____________
I have an autistic spectrum disorder which means yadda yadda yadda.

It's a good idea! I'd wear it!

Also, "if you noticed this badge you're probably an aspie"


I like the idea for the card...thanks

for the button "if you noticed this badge you're probably an aspie" would you have an idea for a picture to go with it?

I know someone who carries a similar wallet card, but it's just bold text on a blue backround.
Personally I abhor the puzzle logo. I'm not a puzzle.

I think such cards or identifying badges would be very useful for someone prone to meltdowns or with difficulties in communication, although personally I don't carry such things, I tell people as and when I want them to know, so as not to give them preconceptions.

I think this would come in handy. I know if anything ever happened where the police were called, they don't always think outside the box

I did see a kind of funny aspergers related shirt that said "I have aspergers. What's your excuse for being so rude?", but it probably wouldn't be appropriate for many settings.

No, but it's inspired by the common "aspie" trait of looking for the little pieces rather than the big picture.

I do understand more now then before, it would be nice to have a common symbol that we could all stand behind, promote and support.

My guess it that will not happen anytime soon, too much has happened over the years and the generation don't remember how much harder many of the older members of this community had it growing up…but I think its all going to come around again. With all the budget cuts programs that were available a year ago are gone forever. People will need to work together to try and get some of it back.

Thanks for sharing that with me...its nice to hear form someone that the tags or that you feel a benefit from carrying it. I would like to ask if you have ever felt the need to show it to someone and also ask if you think having it helped...


The one time I would have needed to share it, I was with my mother when it happened, so she let the authorities know (they handled it really well--someone must be giving paramedics training for people with ASDs around these parts). If I were by myself at that time, I definitely would have needed to show it.

Does anyone know if the autism awareness ribbon or puzzle pattern is copyrighted?

no, autism speaks has has a copyright on it's specific puzzle piece, but I don't know of any other groups that have, and the ribbon specifically I know is not, and puzzle pieces in general are to common to be copyrighted

Awesome :D

I support the Rainbow Ribbon myself for all autistic spectrum disorders. We're diverse, we're different, we're... can anyone find a synonym for unique that begins with D?
