Symbolism of the Flag of Autistan

The Flag of Autistan was not designed with some sort of list of criteria or things to symbolize as it was made by simple inspiration, in a spirit of universality and infinity.
So you have the freedom to see what you want.

However, Here are some suggestions :

– White Central Star : autism (with its different characteristics)
(or spirituality, the “Superior Light”, etc.)

– Areas of light color around the star : Different Aspects of Autism Personality (Varied, rich, etc. and not sad or ordinary).

– Peripheral Color Areas : Aspects of the person's personality (What it shows to society – and that more or less resembles the authentic aspects “internal”, But we can see that there is a dimension of “reinforcement” or even a shield)

– White Circle : Outside the “bubble”, or “What I see” or “the society, the local environment”

– White Stripe : What's possible, Where I can go (which is actually almost unlimited, If it is noticed)

– Blue : sky / mer / universe / infinite

– Small white triangles : Communication of all kinds, including neurological signals and other information (Between autism and the outside world, with personality interactions, of course) – Notice how it's not direct, And as the information goes “by protecting” autism.

– The little coloured triangles : they could correspond to the “forces” or “Sparks” or the fearlessness that allows us to move forward, Overcoming obstacles, to be sufficiently enterprising(e) to finally overcome hardships.

It should also be noted that the “Disc of the Autistan“ can symbolize harmony (especially with the color spectrum), Perfection (of the disc, according to Japanese culture ), et Diversity (with its shapes and colours).

Thank you very much to Flags Of The World (the reference site for flags) To have Listed Our Flag In their International Organizations section.

Quick presentation :

1. Autistan is the “autistic world” : this designates, In summary, everything that characterizes autism and autistic people.
2. The Diplomatic Organization of Autistan a pour but principal d’inform public authorities countries, so that they better understand the needs and difficulties of autistic people, with the aim of a “Correct Consideration of Autism Everywhere” allowing a “Accessibility for Autistic People Exposed to Disabling Situations“, in order to reduce the “Socio-Generated Attacks (sensory, mental or other)”.
Our organization is “extra-nationale”, she does not perform any “outside interference”, it offers complementary contributions thanks to a very broad approach, diverse, different, which allows comparisons and reflections that are very useful for improving public policies.
3. Autistic people do not suffer “of autism” : they suffer from consequences of the absence of Correct Consideration of Autism Everywhere, and therefore the absence of public policies and measures allowing accessibility thanks to the reduction of these external attacks.
4. For that, it is essential to start by understanding that “autism” (which is a human difference with many qualities) is a different thing from “autism disorders” (which are only problems, objective or subjective).
5. Autistic people must be able to “learn non-autism” to live by adapting to it, BUT without complying that is to say without “obligation to become non-autistic”, because we must preserve the qualities specific to autism, and we must avoid the many and dangerous faults and social traps, in particular that which consists of creating self-esteem through “possible judgment by strangers”, which requires a sort of “dictatorship of social image” obliging to “glasses” (which is absurd, superficial, and particularly toxic for autistic people).
6. It is imperative that autistic people are not thwarted in their interests or businesses (except for the minimum rules of good manners), that they are not exposed to restrictions, to over-protection or deprivation of liberty because of their autism.
Indeed, it’s unfair but above all it prevents any positive development.
The positive development of autistic people is only possible if they can follow “your own life path”, which is obviously not ordinary, and which will be favored by an unlimited multitude of possibilities, of choice, of chances, of experiences, dating, of adventures, travel etc.., and not the other way around : the restriction and aridity of a life even more limited and restricted than that of most non-autistic people (which is very “standardized and robotic”).
For that, it is imperative and essential that PARENTS of autistic people can be “educated about autism”.
7. Freedom and experimentation are therefore essential, and understanding of these principles (among many others that we can explain and demonstrate in detail) is essential for society to enable a better life for autistic people : more free, more just, more fulfilled, with the same level of possibilities and chances as non-autistic people, that is to say a “real life”, worthy and happy.
8. This would be possible if autistic people who can explain these things were listened attentively, and if the public authorities made efforts and understood that the necessary modifications are not abusive : these are corrections that are beneficial for society as a whole.
Try to attract attention, and explain these things convincingly with examples and evidence “from real life” : this is the only goal of our organization.
