About #RedInstead
#RedInstead is a movement by and for autistic people to shift away from the blue puzzle piece symbology, which is used by organizations such as Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks is considered by many to be an anti-autism organization due to their lack of support for, dehumanization of, and mistreatment of autistic people, as well as their wish to find a cure (implying that autism is a disease to be eradicated).
Autism Speaks claims to advocate for autism "awareness", while #RedInstead advocates for autism acceptance.
The original #RedInstead mapart was created by Wren (wreninrome) in Nova 5, and it was recreated in Nova 6 by Amelia (Nyameliaaaa), with help from Natalie (Natalesbian).
In addition to #RedInstead, Natalie created a "Fuck Autism Speaks" mapart, featuring the Autism Speaks logo with a giant red X over it.
