Autism Awareness
Autism Awareness Ribbon
The puzzle pattern reflects the mystery and complexity of the autism spectrum.
The different colors and shapes represent the diversity of the people and families living with the condition.
The brightness of the ribbon signals hope—hope that through increased awareness of autism, and through early intervention and appropriate treatments, people with autism will lead fuller, more complete lives.
