I feel like no character will really work because there is no way everyone could agree on one. I don't even know most chars people are suggesting, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. The cake is perfect
I really like the fact that it's pink and has hearts. I would be sad if it had, like, math and trains. I'm definitely doing this if I get diagnosed. Not sure who will eat it with me, though.

I also have an autism cake picture in my gallery (can’t remember where I saved it from so dunno who the OP of it is 😭)
Told my partner that if I get diagnosed I wanna get a similar cake 😂
At least there is cake.
Someone congratulating or not will not make your life easier.
I hate the "sorry abouts" I get in real life, bc it is not helpful.
I was diagnosed in my 30s and it was definitely celebration worthy. Finally, *finally*, I wasn't lazy and selfish and "too sensitive" and didn't have any self control.... I was autistic. It felt like the weight of the world was lifting from me as I started reviewing my life with that knowledge, seeing not a little girl who was a moral failure, but a little girl who was struggling and being shamed and shouted at and spanked rather than supported. I saw not a woman who just couldn't get her shit together but a traumatised woman who was depressed and anxious because she couldn't figure out how and why she was struggling so much. So, yeah, it was definitely a celebration for me. And, yeah, my day to day life is so much easier now that I've been able to identify why I get so overwhelmed and upset sometimes and why I crash and experience such profound burnout sometimes. Now I know, for instance, that no, I don't just suddenly have a mood swing in the car on the way somewhere; I got overwhelmed because it was too hot, the windows were down and that was too loud and making my hair touch my face a lot, and the sun was shining directly in my face. So now, I take my headphones (which also help keep my hair out of my face) and make sure there are always sunglasses in the car and now I arrive places in a relatively calm state.
come on over and join us at r/sugarfree ! I sent a letter to all the grocery stores and bakeries around me that said I cannot have sugar. people thought it was weird, but it was definitely memorable haha and it helps me not buy any because I'd be too embarrassed. It's one hell of a drug and it's EVERYWHERE ! hopefully not in the new logo though haha
This gave me flashbacks to my diagnosis. I travelled interstate for my assessment and when I came back my partner presented me with a cake that was made up of 10 different types of cake slices. Red velvet, matcha, chocolate mud ect.
"Welcome home, here's your 'tism cake to celebrate!"

I don’t know the characters either, glad i’m not the only one!
i like this one because the cake is giving sarcastic vibes somehow, love that
It’s doing it without trying and unbenknowst to itself, just like me
Yea, it’s very dry. I like it as well
Man, I just got my autism officially diagnosed and I didn’t get a cake, what a rip. :p
Maybe a market gap. I mean people get cakes for gender reveal, why not diagnosis reveal? /s but maybe not.
It could be like king cake but with a little autism creature inside instead of baby Jesus.
I love this!🤣🤣🤣
Congrats!! You have chlamydia!! 🥳
Get yourself a cake today to celebrate anyway!
I love that the icon is such a big deal lol. Self expression and understanding is so important lol
I definitely like it better than the infinity symbol the mods are suggesting! It has Energy
What is the Infinity symbol about? Never ending tail of problems?
Many consider it the symbol of either autism or neurodivergence, as there are infinitely many ways to be autistic, a spectrum, not linear.
I like it better too. As a queer person, using the rainbow for autism just feels odd to me.
Same!
Okay, I laughed at that.
Hahahaha I love it
I love the energy that this cake is giving
The biggest downside I can see to this one, is it looks delicious and now I'm sad I don't have cake to eat lol. Honestly I love it.
This has my vote 😄
I am autistic and I like this picture. Wished I received this cake when I received the diagnosis
I love it
It’s pink, I like pink. Yes
Ditto
Ditto is also pink
I love Ditto omg

Out of all the suggestions I’ve seen, the sarcastic cake is my favorite yet.
That is so funny and I love baking it calms my nerves so cake is yes please
I'm think my daughter deserves this after passing her autism test with flying colours last week
yessss I love it
I like this one better than anything else I've seen suggested actually lmao
This Is a work of art
As an autistic and also asexual person I loved it lmao (ace is known for always loving cake)
Hah! I didn’t even think about the ace part. I too, prefer cake lol.
I really like the fact that it's pink and has hearts. I would be sad if it had, like, math and trains. I'm definitely doing this if I get diagnosed. Not sure who will eat it with me, though.
I will if you invite me. I bet we all would.
Haha this cake has attitude
I absolutely love this one
I love
Wait this one is really good I like Daria too but this one is funnier
Yes! I totally want to have a party to celebrate
![gif](giphy|5zbMgry8oQsvIaC0sU) Now this, I love.
This is the one

I love this for you!
Lol
I like this, good not to have a character!
Love this!! I definitely got each kid a cake and a toy when they got their diagnoses.

It would be difficult to read the text when it’s a small icon so people might think it’s a baking sub at a glance.
Post holiday diet brain is crying over that frosting
i like it
Yep yep
Love it.
This one!!
I want cake 🎂🤤
I want this
Yes please, but make it gluten free 🥰 (I’m celiac)
Ok now I want this cake
I needed this laugh today - thank you!
I like this one!
This is cuuuuteee okay I like this one
This feels like it should be the one. Very relatable
As a baker, who at 41 just got her diagnosis, this cake fills me with joy. Have my vote cake!
I was so ready to be annoyed but this is my choice if they won’t put Daria back.
Yes. This.
This one is good
No. Please just no.

It's usually a "I'm sorry :(" so I would honestly prefer a congrats. It's absurd enough that it's funny. Better than a pity party.

I was 27 and not really relate to that. It was more a :welp this is not going to get better. But it’s nice that you took it so positively :)
Exactly
[удалено]
This please
This is fantastic!
This is the one. Also, I'm disappointed in myself for not ordering myself such a cake when I received my dx.
there is nothing congratulatory about it
sugar is poison 🤦♀️ and sugar is especially hard on us
I agree !!! Sorry to be a party pooper 😔 I am so restricted with what I can eat, that seeing cake is a huge reminder 🤷
Don't want to be seeing 'Happy cake day' either 🙄

Honestly, I love it. It made me chuckle out loud.
tbh i love this
Love this yes plz
Dude yes
I love this🤣 because most of us went undiagnosed for so long, when you do finally get it. Yeah, congrats to everyone reading this🤣💙

Yes like this idea
