On a personal level I despise parades. They're loud, obnoxious and overtly social - exactly what you need to get attention and change ideas. Other than that, I don't really have a huge amount to say. I'd definitely like to see some way of communicating what autism actually is to the majority of people who clearly lack understanding of it.
I think a parade would be better suited to a) "Showing the flag", that neuro-diversity exists, and b)raising awareness of Aspie organizations with those who might be interested in joining/supporting them.
