The Autism Puzzle Ribbon
The Autism Puzzle Ribbon - What does it symbolize?
The autism ribbon has been said to reflect the mystery and complexity of autism. The different colors and shapes represent the diversity of the people and families living with this disorder. The brightness of the ribbon signals Hope - Hope that through research we will soon identify the causes and a cure for Autism, and Hope that, through increasing awareness of Autism, persons with the disorder will lead fuller, and more complete lives.
The Autism Society of America has been awarded, from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, a trademark for the Puzzle Ribbon logo as a result of its years of use, work and investment. ASA's goal is to protect the ribbon for responsible use within the autism community. It is ASA's intent to use its best efforts to make the puzzle ribbon logo available royalty-free to ASA Chapters and for all legitimate purposes and uses by autism organizations
