The NeuroDiversity Strength Flag

 

 New Yorkers chose this flag as a way to represent neurodiversity. The flag originated from the Autism Spectrum Disorders Advisory Board, which gives guidance to New Yorkers and policymakers. The flag was designed by Josh Mirsky, who is an OPWDD Peer Specialist with the goal of creating more awareness about autism and a greater understanding and acceptance of those in the neurodivergent community.
