We've celebrated autistic pride day here in Helsinki for years. One year we actually had an autism pride parade. It created a bit of controversy in our aspie community and we haven't done it since.
Did either Heta, Lua, or Jan-Mikael came along?
(I've known Heta online and I've met Lua and Jan-Mikael at Autscape)

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.

Morph suits would increase our stats.
I might be interested but in reality don't think I could, See the thing is this kind of thing sounds like a place I won't fit in. Especially since I am in love with the autism awareness ribbon and make a point to wear it for April.i have loved it since the first day I saw it. It fir me so well and it saddens me greatly that people take offence to it. You see for me the piece sy alive how I see this world as a great puzzle. And yes that autism is puzzling. The truth is to me all people are puzzling too. I also love how unique it is. I don't know I geuss I'm a bad autistic but the ribbon is very special to me<3
I also LOVE the organization that created it. The autism society of America is a great organization!! !! I really like them a lot to. I think autism speaks has done a lot to damage the view of the puzzle piece. What most don't know is the multi colored puzzle ribbon is from the autism society of America and they have a nice explanation for it.
So I geuss the issue is I wouldn't fit in :/
I'm proud of who I am and proud of the ribbon
