April is Autism “Awareness” month

Bev over at Asperger Square 8 has had a couple of thought-provoking posts on the topic of what is “awareness“.

I thought I relate an awareness story (it beats writing my paper).

Brianna and I were in ToysRUs, who have a program going on right now with Autism Speaks. So there are posters up all over the store, with puzzle pieces missing. Brianna say this one:

….and gave it a new caption. It was something like “Doh! The puzzle is why can’t you people figure this out? I’m fine – it’s the rest of you that don’t understand!”

Anyways, maybe Brianna will comment and tell me how I got that wrong. 🙂
