In search of an autism-related tattoo that represents those on the autism spectrum disorder? Check out these wonderful autism tattoos for yourself!
Studies show that nearly 1% of the world population has autism spectrum disorder or ASD.
People diagnosed with autism are often thought to be insufficient in many ways. It is essential to note that those with this autism are different, not less and an autism awareness tattoo would be the perfect way to convey that.
What Is The Symbol For Autism?
There are many symbols that represent autism, some of which are the butterfly, ribbon, and infinity symbol. The colours of the rainbow and the blue colour are also symbolic of autism awareness. However, the most common and well-known sign for those with autism spectrum disorder is the puzzle piece. More specifically, a blue puzzle piece or rainbow-coloured puzzle piece is often used to mark support and raise autism awareness. The puzzle piece represents the complexities and diversities of those with autism. However, some people find this sign to be offensive and negative as the puzzle piece might symbolise that those who are autistic are incomplete. Keeping the negative connotations aside, an autism tattoo or autism awareness tattoo can help get rid of the stigma around autism. It is also a nice way for those who are part of the autism community to own it confidently and for family members of such people to show their unconditional love and support.
Autism tattoos are not only for people with autism but also for their loved ones. Check out some of the best autism tattoo ideas, and you will surely fall in love with one or all of them!
