The words "building spaces for autistic people" over a castle background. There are bookshelves in the corners and candles on the floor and a window in the middle. In the top right there is an autistic pride flag of 5 different colors.

interesting do you have any other reading on it? When I found the flag that is how it was described. The colors were chosen specifically as a relation to the autistic experience
