Yeah, this literal autism police cruiser totally isn't going to become an exploitable.

And is it just me, or does the design feel kinda… patronizing? A lot of autism awareness designs feel that way. As someone who believes people with autism can be just as capable as anyone else, and that the stereotype of autistic people being mentally disabled or socially stunted, having the letters being in big, bold, all caps, and saturated, garish colors on a puzzle piece background, which is associated with children's toys, really feels like it's reinforcing the view that people with autism are all low functioning and never progress past child like states of mind. It's like it's saying "Hey we made this text in big bold colors so you could read this!" I prefer the infinity spectrum symbol myself, it's a lot easier on the eyes and it feels a lot more appropriate for a wider variety of applications. It's also not something I'd feel embarrassed to stand behind, which I don't doubt would be appreciated by older people with high functioning autism.

Anyways, that was my graphic design talk thanks for listening.
