Rainbow colors are associated with Autism Acceptance, such as representing Neurodiversity and Autism as a spectrum, as used by the Autism Self-Advocacy Network. Red is also associated with Walk In Red which is an Autism Acceptance movement to counter Light It Up Blue of Autism Speaks.
Blue is associated with Autism Speaks - it's commonly used for Autism Awareness but is automatically connected to this organization which is rejected by the Autism community. Autism Speaks is considered a hate group due to it's use of harmful Propaganda against Autistic people, attacks against Autistic people, support of torture of Autistic people, and support of eugenics against Autistic people.
Note: The puzzle piece can also be offensive towards Autistic people, the puzzle piece implies we are 'missing' when we are not and as a symbol of Autism Speaks is triggering for some Autistic people.

The colors of autism are RED, YELLOW and BLUE. And the symbol is a puzzle piece. It is the only condition with 3 colors.
The pieces reflect the mystery and complexity of autism.
The different colors, RED, YELLOW AND BLUE, and figures represent the diversity of people and families living with this disorder.
The brilliance of the ribbon is a sign of hope, hope that through greater awareness of autism, and through early intervention and appropriate intensive treatment, people with autism can live full and productive lives.
