These ribbons feature the jig-saw puzzle which symbolizes Autism Awareness. This puzzle pattern reflects the mystery and complexity of Autism Spectrum Disorder which impairs brain development in the areas of communication and social interaction. The different colours and shapes represent the diversity of people and families living with Autism. The brightness of the ribbon signals hope ~~ hope through research and increasing awareness in people who proudly wear it.

The Ribbon is a key symbol in the Simcoe County Branch's fundraising throughout the year.
