Use of the Puzzle logo in national newspaper

Exhibit A
over 3 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?

    I have read the article and I agree that the puzzle piece symbol is offensive but I think that the use of the term ‘symptoms’ as opposed to autistic traits is worse, horrible and harmful. This term was even used by the autistic person herself.
