Autism Awareness Kilt Pin

[Dale-of-Cedars]

I searched for "puzzle piece" and found lots of them on eBay.

-My 29 year-old son was formally diagnosed with Aspergers in high school, and he didn't fall far from my tree... (I'm a self-diagnosed aspie or close.)

My 13 yr old has also been diagnosed with Aspergers. If anyone wants to set up an order for a kilt pin, I'm in.

Again thank you all for your responses, trying to figure out what is going to work best. My fellow parents of children on the scale, i feel your pain and your joy. One of my sons fall on the moderate range and the other is asperger's. I watch my kids every day and see how hard they work at being what most people consider to be normal and my heart breaks, but then I see them just be themselves where there is no pressure to be normal and I just have to smile. They are sweet and wonderful children and I wouldn't change them for anything.

I've always have a problem with the saying Cure Autism, because I don't know if my kids would still be who they are now and I love them just the way they are, so I prefer the saying Cure Normal.

If I can find something out about having a pin made, I'll let you folks know.

Join the club. I was diagnosed as an Aspie just over a year ago.

I`m Aspie too,the puzzle piece and ribbon are increasingly unacceptable amongst Autistics try http://www.zazzle.co.uk/autistart - their magnets could be adapted.

I've not been diagnosed with anything but that may have more to do with avoiding all the right people. I strongly support the idea of curing Normal. There is nothing quite so unfortunate as an otherwise wonderful person having to go through life 'normal'. I definitely support a cure!

Great web site and I really like the message! Interesting, the rainbow theme looks a lot like the rainbow used by the GLBTQ community (look at the O on the Autistics for Obama mug). Is that intentional? Solidarity among those who are perfect people, just not perfect clones?

Thanks for that. The first half of the pic is for me, the second half helps cure the first. I had no idea.

Both my boys have be diagnosed with Aspergers. The oldest copes rather well and the youngest is learning. Life would be very boring if they were normal If you cannot find a suitable pin let me know, I have been know to work with metal on occasion.

The spectrum of colours reflects the Autistic spectrum I think...
