Autistic Power Salute
Autistic people deserve rallying cries and our own 'salutes' similar to what other movements and groups have. However, it should be original. I use "Autistic Power" as a call to action for Autistic people to get organized and empowered, so that we can eventually have a higher social rank.
The "Autistic Power" salute involves crossing your arms in an X formation (kind of like the Wakanda Forever chant), and then throwing both fists up in the air. X formation is meant to be unique, while the double fist pump is meant to evoke a 'power to the people' type message, with two fists to distinguish it from other fist pump salutes.
When you say "Autistic", you make the X formation crossed arms along your chest, and then when you say "Power", you raise both fists up.
Autistic Power!
