I think we should use the square peg in a round hole idea- thats cool.Although... why does it have to be a square peg?Someone should think of a really random shape to symbolize this.

How about a dodecahedron?

What about a plain diamond?:

Still a square, but tilted at a 45° angle; thus altering the symbolic meaning somewhat.

The ways that we can express our pride in our autism visually (or in any creative media) should be as diverse as we are. I would like to propose an additional symbol: the Knight Chess Piece

Some reasons:

* The Knight moves in a non-linear manner, which is the source of its power and potential - just as autistic thinking does not follow NT patterns and boxes
* The Knight in fact advances by moving sideways - just as our modes of thinking challenge NT norms
* The Knight like all chess pieces can be black or white, a sign of diversity
* Chess is a game of strategy and logic, often autistic strengths

I personally think that the autism symbols are very beautiful. My personal favorites are the tree and the butterfly, and also the infinity symbol.

First of all we need to get rid of all of these ret*d puzzle ribbon symbols that make it look like we just won the special olympics. I would like to propose a symbol but I do not know how to download the picture from my computer.

How about a chess knight with a semi rainbow-y sword? Adding to the guy above about knights, a sword is straight and to the point, plus, I, personally, always feel like I have to fight for and defend myself constantly. A knight would fit perfectly
I dislike that puzzle piece
