I wish we had something to say that we might be a bit quirky or do strange things socially due to aspergers. Gay people have an earing to say there gay, lesbians have a masculine haircut.

*this title is a figure of speech. we dont need an actual earring

I think I'd prefer an official-looking card that I can keep hidden and just show if all else fails. Maybe it could say something like "Before you treat me like dirt for being a bit different, see below for your rights when you're prosecuted for disability discrimination." But now Trump's in power again, it probably wouldn't scare them. It probably wouldn't have scared them much even before that happened.

Your idea is a good one for anybody lucky enough to live in a civilised society. It might work in Denmark.

Just wear a T-shirt saying
"Weird is a side effect of awesome!"

Preferably with that picture of a unicorn dragging it's arse and leaving a rainbow trail

The whole gay earring thing was some urban legend that was started in the 1980s. For a guy, I have a collection of earrings lol, I wear 2 in my left ear, 1 in my right.

I have seen Autism medical bracelets and have considered getting one.

Well Ive never felt any need to wear an ear ring to signal Im queer!

I have a tattoo though.

I also have an AU tattoo.

I like that these are permanent badges that I had to commit to and cannot be discarded on a whim.

Yeah nice one man

I do like the idea of a single earring though. I'd wear mine in my right lobe

That's the girls side.
When you eartag an alpaca, boys are left ear, girls are right.

Edit...mine is in the left and was punched long before I knew that.
