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?

I'm pretty into Art and think the image is an okay attempt to show differences in people. I think the article is pretty interesting and pretty much regurgitated stuff I've read in other media describing Autism.
I think it's a hard pill to swallow being categorised as different for some and an identity oral light bulb moment for others. I've always been proud to be unique and never wanted to follow the norm.
I see this post is a year old but I'm glad I found it. :-)
