So far i like 'Paper Prisms' and 'the art of aut' best.
'Aut Brut'
'Theirhisnothis Fellowfaces'
Is this going to be focused on autism and realted things? In which case, I like the prism (spectrum) idea...

'Aut brut' was an idea for a name of the journal, Luai, as was 'Theirhisnothis Fellowfaces'.

-Art Brut (which literally translates as "Raw Art" or "Rough Art"), [is] a label created by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture; Dubuffet focused particularly on art by insane asylum inmates. Obviously the pun would not work as a translation - eg. rough autism, raw autism, but I think the association of Aut Brut with art brut is strong enough. to connote the artistic element of it. Plus it's a great band!

-Theirhisnothis Fellowfaces...
this a coinage towards the end of Ulysses: 'each contemplating the other in both mirrors of the reciprocal flesh of theirhisnothis fellowfaces.' It's about the recognition of difference which is a significant connection in itself, it's a nice ethical neologism which i think is quite appropriate - sameness/difference/recognition/communication all those sort of things.
I appreciate that aspergian trait a) over-literalism, may lead to problems with the fact that it suggests an untroublement with aspergian trait b) looking directly into someones face/eyes.

I also thought of a subtext to go beneath the title:  Autism-Art-Life


i like this idea.

unless this magazine is intended for aspies specifically, i think it would be better to stay away from any names that are specific to AS, it seemed to me this magazine was going to cover the whole spectrum, at least that's what i thought...

anyway, i like:
sorry bout the other posts,

art of aut
aut-brut
autie press
aut wave
prismatic
i liked the "new waves" idea. but like luai said, it reminds me of the music. so i was thinking of a synonym of new like neo waves or something... but when i looked at thesaurus.com, one of the first words is a french one. "au courant", hm, it literally means "in the current" or "up-to-date". i like the wordplay of "aut courant" or even "aut current". dont know what autism translates to in french, just a wandering thought....
