Why a Puzzle Piece?

On a nationwide level, the Puzzle Piece symbol reflects the mystery and complexity of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Also, since every puzzle piece is different in some way, a puzzle piece accurately represents the diversity of the individuals affected.
The AutismUGA puzzle piece is red and black and designed to resemble the state of Georgia. This is to portray pride in our university and to specify the geographic region of our outreach and awareness initiatives.
