A transparent PNG intended for use as an avatar overlay. Left edge has the text "AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH" in white text on a red background. Bottom edge has a logo for "The Bullshit Fairy" in white and the hashtag #REDinstead in red.

I've had this floating in the data hoard for awhile, and it's about that time of year again, so here it is for anyone who might need it.

Christmas drawing of Technetium and Mercury, both happy that today is Christmas Day. Technetium wears a seafoam-green sweater and green pants while Mercury wears a red sweater and green pants. Both sweaters have a rainbow infinity symbol printed on it. The background is blue with a couple snowflakes plus snowy terrain. A textbox can be seen saying in rainbow letters "Merry Christmas!"

134: Thankful Photo Description: Panel 1: In the middle of the red, orange, and yellow, woods in autumn are a turkey named Tofu and a barred owl named Apple Pie. Tofu begins, "Life is fantastic! You should be thankful just for being alive." Panel 2: Apple Pie responds, "I'll be thankful when it's no longer possible for birds like you to hoard so much wealth it unalives folks." Tofu looks nervous.

Technetium loves to listen to upbeat music!

Inspired by USA propaganda!

AUCTOBER 2025 14: Harmful Eugenics Caesium looks at her cell phone, disgusted as she sees the U.S. News saying "You know...an empire that can't even keep their hands to themselves...DESERVES TO COLLAPSE." (Extra text above her head saying "Insensate humans...") The "U.S. News" in question displays four speech bubbles from the phone from top to bottom: [Government claims tylenol causes Autism] ["Evidence" says that circumcision is a cause of Autism] [The "President" announces virginity causes Autism] ["Vaccines cause Autism", according to a "Christian" who happens to have nazi tattoos on their face]

Eugenics have always been a danger all over the place especially in America.

AUCTOBER 2025 12: Au-DHD Pane happily holds two words, one on each hand. The words in question are "autism" and "ADHD," and they both merge into a single word displayed above his head: "AuDHD".

50-70% of autistic people happen to have ADHD! The term "AuDHD" is a mix of being autistic plus having ADHD.

127: Puns Photo Description: Panel 1: In the middle of winding branches with various browns, oranges, and purples is ural owl named Garlic who is hanging on a branch by his prosthetic leg to regulate himself, and a tufted titmouse named Camembert. Camembert begins, "IT'S A GOUDA DAY, I'M FEELING GRATE!" Panel 2: She continues, "BUT JUST IN QUESO, I'M GOATING TO STRING TOGETHER MORE HOLE-ARIOUS JOKES!" Panel 3: She finishes, "APOLOGIES, I DIDN'T ASK YOUR PARMESAN TO PUN AT YOU. I HOPE YOU'RE NOT FETA UP WITH ME." Panel 4: Garlic replies, "I think they're brie-lliant, we all have different ways to regulate ourselves and keep from feeling blue." There is a gray heart above Camembert.

My page name is a pun. 🙈

Two-Panel comic of Mercury and the nameless American in a conversation. On the first panel, Mercury says "Look, what do you even take me for? You think I'm a gifted superintelligent computer or something?" On the second panel, the nameless American says "Well, it's...funny you say that." while thinking "Why isn't this one like Sheldon Cooper...? or even The Good Doctor." The nameless American has another thought bubble, depicting Mercury shaped exactly like Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, holding a laptop and saying "BAZINGA".

You can notice a stereotype or two of autism in some TV shows, books, movies and more. These depictions cause more harm than people (especially Americans) want to admit. #autism #autistic #mercury #oc #originalcharacter #red #actuallyautistic #autismacceptance #redinstead #auctober #auctober2025

124: You've Met One Corvid Panel 1: In the middle of the red, orange, and yellow, woods in autumn are a bald eagle named Bacon and a new raven named Candy who is turned around. Bacon mistakenly says, "HELLO RYE!" Panel 2: Candy turns around. Bacon responds, "WAIT A MINUTE... YOU'RE NOT RYE." Panel 3: The image zooms out revealing also a crow named Rye and a blue jay named Pepper. Candy replies, "You're right, I'm Pepper's cousin, Candy." Bacon finishes, "WHEN YOU'VE MET ONE CORVID, YOU'VE MET ONE CORVID." There is a blue heart above Pepper and a purple heart above Rye.

When you've met one Autistic, you've met one Autistic. Although my non owls are allistic, I still felt this fit.

honslty I dikont know about the color scheem. (I menmiton in the alt text not knows)... @embraceautism.bsky.social knows.

The Autism colors Iknow are Gold because the element is Au
and Red as #RedInstead protest against Blue.

Ok, danke. :-)

Kurze Erklärung, warum ich fragte:
Manche Menschen verwenden die Farbe blau, um Autismus zu symbolisieren. Das kommt aber von einem amerikanischen Verein, gegen den Autisten weltweit protestieren, weshalb es u. a. das Hashtag #RedInstead gibt.

We honor neurodivergent community members this #AutisticPrideDay. We wear red, not blue. We use the infinity symbol, not puzzle pieces. You are whole, sacred, and worthy just as you are.
#Neurodiversity #RedInstead #AutismAwareness #Inclusion

I wish I would start my career as an actor, a director, a filmmaker, a singer, & a music composer, if I have enough money & skilled practice lessons to do so without bogus delusional claim posts but hey, I'm still here. I'm still #ActuallyAutistic and still wearing #REDInstead.

I'm autistic/ADHD man but don't have a late diagnosis yet but you get to sign this petition before it's too late. So, #REDinstead is still trending and I'm not going anywhere and every autistic/ADHD people are not going anywhere. Please sign this petition.

We Can Make an Impact. HHS: Require Personal Consent Before Using Autism Data in Federal Studies

I'm autistic/ADHD and yes, I didn't get a late diagnosis yet but thank God I signed a petition to stop spreading autism/ADHD misinformation because that's scaring autistic/ADHD people off. So, go on sign the petition and go #REDinstead!

Blau ist die Farbe von Autism Speaks, einem Verein, gegen den Autisten weltweit seit Jahren kämpfen. Autisten verwenden dazu oft das Hashtag #RedInstead und tragen am Weltautismustag rote Schuhe.
Soll der Film dagegen ein Statement setzen?

Fanart of Autie-Biographical's character, Honeydew, who looks happy. They are wearing a green long-sleeve shirt (rainbow infinity symbol printed on it) and pants. While the background has a couple yellow sparkles scattered everywhere, the upper-half has a rainbow tint/gradient + a rainbow infinity symbol (ActuallyAutistic) while the lower half has a yellow gradient + a golden infinity symbol (Light It Up Gold).

Some birthday fanart of Honeydew for @autiebiographical.bsky.social!
Happy birthday, Autie-Biographical Comics! #fanart #autism #autistic #gold #green #honeydew #actuallyautistic #autismacceptance #redinstead #rainbowinfinity #lightitupgold #autiebiographical

Autisten protestieren seit vielen Jahren gegen diesen Verein, z. B. unter Hashtags wie #BoycottAutismSpeaks, #RedInstead, #DontLIUB (LIUB = Light It Up Blue) etc.
Ich weiß nicht, inwieweit die Hashtags hier auf Bluesky schon oder noch verwendet werden. Auf Twitter war das immer sehr groß.

Easter drawing of Mrs. Eddant and Mercury standing on the grasslands during the day, both happy to celebrate Easter Day. Both of them wear red bunny ears. Mercury wears a red shirt (with a rainbow infinity printed on it) plus dark red pants.
