A tattoo? You must be joking. Me and pain just don't get along. I can't even manage to build up the nerve to get an ear pierced.

Well, it's a spectrum, isn't it? Why not a gradient of colors? Something that resembles the computer color gradient magenta-red-yellow-geen-cyan-blue-magenta. (and heck, you could even run a single-color stripe down the middle that represents your place on the spectrum)

Or has that one already been used by a dozen organizations too?

There a some rainbowish bracelets out there. Two which I have seen for Autism and another for Breast Cancer on eBay. I like the idea of rainbow for the spectrum, but what about an atypical rainbow pattern? I mean, not the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and purple.

Maybe even a rainbow of shades of a specific color, like blue or green, etc.???

Rainbows are also more well known as the symbol for gay pride.

I like the idea of a different color spectrum. Orange and blue would be a problem, (Orange being Asperger's and Blue being autism) because they are on the opposite ends of the color wheel, and when they blend together, they make mud. Is there any other color representative of Asperger's?

I don't know if I mentioned it here or not, but I like my idea of putting Rubik's Cubes on bracelets. Drawings of them, colored in. That might cost lots though. :(

Im going to go here www.wristbandsnow.com and make my own they seem affordable and I can make what ever I want. I like the Burning Orange Color and its what I was going to go with. Since you say you want diffrent colors I could also go with the Orange Swirl (Orange and White swirl) And I could even accept Orange Splash (looks like orange and yellow swirled).

I am still not 100% what I want to put on them but I'm thinking deff the one Aspergia Symbol just the http://www.aspergia.com/images/min_big.gif on one side and maybe Aspergia or Passport on the other. People with Aspergers could wear them and friends of people but please be selective think of it as a Passport to your home our home. Please my brothers and sisters we have to come to at least some kind of agreement. Please I want feedback I really want to order some.

I'd like something gray or silver because I always wear all gray... I'd like a plaque-like pendant made of gray metal with the WrongPlanet alien and "WrongPlanet.net"!

This is the first I have ever heard of it. I will not be prone to asking people I see wearing orange bracelets whether or not they are aspies.

What if some ignoramuses see an orange wristband, and then start harassing the wearer for being a "ret*d" or a Columbine-type shooter?

What if an employer decides to pass over an employee for raises, promotions, or retention becase he or she is wearing an orange wristband?

What if you're passing through customs, and get pulled aside for a full body-cavity search, and/or sedation for the flight (if you're even allowed to board the plane), just because you're wearing an orange wristband?

Not for me ... no thanks!
