Looking for themes for 2007, these will then be put in a poll, which will show the favourite and it will be declared by end of september.

Any suggestions from previous years can be brought up again too.

2 basic ideas from me so far -

"Autistic Pride Day - proud of our culture and community"

"Proud to be different"

I liked the suggestion for 2006 "There is no cure for being yourself"

Problem with that is if someone doesnt know its referring to a cure for autism, would it make sense to them?

I think if it were a slogan for Autistic Pride Day people could figure it out.

i kinda like this one, almost as a defense of the word "pride"... to explain it to people like me who were not sure about the whole "pride" thing.

it's a little long, but does that matter?

Well it could just be the second part without Autistic Pride Day at the front.

I like this one because many people still do not know that we have a culture and community.  This will help to make them more aware.

Yeah and i think it needs to have the word autistic in it, so that people know which culture/community.  

so ignore my comment about it being kinda long, because it makes more sense long...

What about this 'Theme for 2007 Autistic Pride Day - Proud of our culture and community'?

Anymore suggestions welcome for the poll.

"They say we need to be cured-  I say we are the cure!"

Lol.

I always liked the phrase from an old Cat Stevens song: "there's a million ways to be, you know that there are"

(talk about long  :shock: )

Maybe shorten to "a million ways to be"

I donno if it's clear, but it has a nice ring to it.
Although maybe it was more fitting for this year's Neurodiversity.

Ooohh, how about that one from that T-shirt design by Indigowombat- there's a thread on it here somewhere....

Anyway, the phrase is "Every brain is beautiful".

Can anyone find out if that phrase is copyrighted?

What about something about individuality and us just simply being diferent than NT's like:  "Live Life Like Yourselves" or even "Living Our Lives As OUR Lives."

autistics speak.  take the time to listen.
