A slogan that supports autistic people to freely express themselves. This goes in contrast to "light it up blue" which only promotes the awareness of autism, even though almost everyone has at least heard of autism by now. REDInstead however, promotes respect and acceptance towards autistic individuals and is a more meaningful way to promote the autistic community.
autism mom: LIGHT IT UP BLUE! Lets end this terrible disease once and for all.
Me: NO! Autism is not a disease you dumbfuck! Autism is a part of who we are and taking that away means killing us. REDINSTEAD!
