Is this shirt ok

It's an autism speaks shirt but I thrifted it so they didn't get anything from me buying it. I don't support autism speaks and their views on autistic people. But I like how cute it is and I love letting others know Im proud of my husband how he is but I don't want people to get bad ideas of me.

Is it offensive at all? My husband doesn't have any bad thoughts about it and for context I am believed to be on the spectrum too just not officially diagnosed

I've never heard of "Autism speaks". What is it and why don't you support it? If it's associated with a company that you don't support, would you want to wear it? 

I think the shirt itself is cute, I love the colors. I do not have autism so it's not my place to say if it's offensive or not, so maybe someone with autism can answer that question.

Autism speaks is an organization that is supposed to be in support of autism and autistic people but focuses on the "cure" rather than just accepting ppl how they are and focusing on helping them cope with their struggle. The reason I am wearing it is because it only says their name on the tag so I would be the only one aware of the company behind it and I love the sentiment just not the brand behind it.
I love the colors too!!

I would never wear it because I wouldn’t want to be associated with them or have any other autists see and think im promoting them and feel awful because of it bc i think the puzzle piece + slogan is a dead giveaway away if you know a crumb about autism awareness

i think something cuter would be thrifting a plain shirt and painting something with similar colors and sentiment yourself ^-^

Wait I googled it and I see now it's because it's kinda saying autistic people are broken or something to be solved

its been used to be like autistic people are "puzzling" or missing a piece 
basically reinforcing negative thoughts about autistic people : (

The puzzle peice represents something "missing" or the different colors not matching being "incorrect"

Also autism speaks supports elecrotherapy and conversion camps for autistics who "cant fit into society"


Imo even wearing it can be harmful.
You could however paint over the puzzle. Make each color a character or somethin.
I would cover the puzzle heart tho
