Use of the Puzzle logo in national newspaper

Exhibit A over 5 years ago

Great to have this positive coverage in the Guardian but do others find it very disturbing that a national newspaper is using the puzzle piece to depict autistic people?

The symbol is known as an autistic symbol. I know people who when diagnosed have tattooed at puzzle piece on their arm. I personally prefer the rainbow spectrum icons because they descrpt thespectrum more.

Thanks for the article I will have a read of it.
