Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. Let’s talk about this jigsaw piece imagery that we see everywhere autism is mentioned. Many, many autistic people reject this iconography, but some like it. Why is it so controversial? Where did the image come from, and what exactly is it about a jigsaw piece that upsets so many people? That’s what we discuss in the latest episode of AFI. You can watch the video version of the show in the viewer below, or if you prefer your podcasts audio-only, you can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Audible – see the links further below.
That’s all for this time. Take care.
