Episode #14: The History and Symbols of Autism
Show Notes: When you think of the word “autism,” what images come to mind for you? Do you think of the autism puzzle piece? Is there a symbol for autism that means something to you? Who was the first person with autism? In this episode of the Water Prairie Chronicles, I’m going to talk about some of the more common symbols used to represent autism and the history and meaning behind them. To do this, we’ll also dig into the history of when autism was first diagnosed and some of the changes that have occurred in diagnosing autism over the last century.
