Originally the puzzle peace was used to represent autism by the National Autistic Society, the reason being that they were 'puzzled' by what autism was and they saw their Autistic children as 'missing'. Although some organisations, like Autism Speaks, consider to use this puzzle and hurtful language when talking about Autism - National Autistic Society stopped using the puzzle piece.
Generally speaking Autistic people find the puzzle piece to be offensive - we're not a puzzle, we're not missing, it's offensive to refer to us in this way and this is not a logo we had anything to do with so it should not be used to represent us.
