Caedplatonic or Caedoplatonic
Caed- or Caedo- A feeling that one was previously able to experience a particular kind of attraction, but that ability was lost due to trauma or negative events.
Aplatonic spectrum: Originally created in the aromantic community, as well as by trauma survivors and neurogivergent folks to describe not feeling platonic attraction, which are also called “squishes” (as opposed to romantic “crushes”). Platonic attraction exists on a spectrum, just like there’s a spectrum for sexual and romantic attractions. Some people consider aplatonic spectrum as MOGAI, some do not. The abbreviation for aplatonic is “apl” (pronounced “apple”).

Centered on the bottom of the flag are three partial vertical stripes, each a fifth of the width of the flag. The outer two stripes are grey and are two fifths of the height of the flag, while the middle is white and is three fifths the height of the flag]

Aspectus-
Aspectus- Where a person can appear to have an attraction, but in reality they do not feel that attraction at all. They tend to act in ways that most people would assume allo people do. A case would be an aspectusexual person likes to flirt, make sexual jokes, and look sexy, but they’re doing so because they enjoy it, not because they have the goal of attracting someone for a sexual relationship. Ultimately they are still aspec.

Some different Aplspec icons made with a Socially Selective dog patch by FurliciousArt on Etsy.
Self-indulgent and welcome to anyone who wants to use them! ( you can use them wherever, I’d appreciate credit but it’s not needed. )
The first row are these Aplatonic flags, the second row are these Greyplatonic / Greyaplatonic flags, and the last row is this Caedplatonic / Caedoplatonic flag and this Apothiplatonic flag.
General Aplatonic / Apl symbols
Made for fun, in no way am I claiming this is "official" or that anyone has to use it or anything. I just had a lot of fun making my Poison Apl symbol and I wanted to do something else with the format!
Anyone on the Aplatonic spectrum / who is Aplspec in any way can use ( and is included ) in these!
These incorporate multiple Aplatonic / Apl symbols! Bees, blue roses, and apples. The color of the apples / rose are the colors of this Apl flag, while the bee is the colors of the second Apl flag here. I wanted to represent both color schemes because I personally use both flags, and I wanted it to be inclusive of all Apls regardless of flag preference.
I gave the blue rose thorns, as a way of reclaiming stereotypes about Apls being "distant" ( a rose creates distance between itself and others with it's thorns ) because of their Aplatonicism ( especially Nonfriending and Nonpartnering Apls ) or "thorny/mean" for not wanting casual friendships / being friendship repulsed / to randomly be called "friend" / any friendships or friends / not wanting or experiencing "love" in general, especially "platonic love"
I know some prefer yellow apples while others prefer a green apples ( especially aplaros / aroapls ) so I made two versions! Use whichever you want, or use both at the same time!
Here's the Apl bee by itself because it's cute:
Free to be used anywhere by anyone as always! If there are any typos or discrepancies please kindly let me know ( I'm editing this on low sleep, sorry! )
Taglist - @radiomogai, @daybreakthing, @aroapl
(Left) Bestmate ; an alternative term to “best friend” that doesn't include or imply platonic feelings. This relationship can be defined however the user desires.
(Right) Associmate / aquimate ; an alternative term to “associate” / “acquaintance” that includes / implies more than “acquaintance”–like feelings but not platonic ones. This relationship can be defined however the user desires.
(These are intended for aplatonic beings but anyone can use them)
Self indulgent!

Disabled + intersex flag! For anyone who is disabled and intersex, whether the disability comes from their intersex variation or not.
I’m coining AuSPD to refer to autism + ASPD. Modelled off of AuDHD. Possibly AuSPDHD could be autism + ASPD + ADHD if applicable (implying ASPDHD for ASPD + ADHD).
Makes it a little easier to talk abt it, autism and ASPD interact in an interesting manner and the high comorbidity of ADHD with both autism and ASPD can further complicate that relation. Esp since ADHD can have symptoms in common with both autism and ASPD (autism/ADHD: sensory issues, executive dysfunction issues, stimming, time blindness, sleep problems; ADHD/ASPD: boredom, need for stimulation, anhedonia, impulsivity).
* this is mostly just for me, I’m not sure how common it is to have all three and idk how other PDs would interact as I only have the one. But I would love for others to use it as well if they find it useful.
Terrorpunk: Embracing the Horror Within.
For all those with identities that put others on edge. People with parts of them commonly used as horror tropes, people who act "unnatural" and put others off, people with stigmatized "scary" disorders and disabilities, people who have horror and fear intertwined with alterhuman identities, queer identities or anything else that people generally find off-putting or downright terrifying--but in spite of that, don't see any of it as a bad thing, and reclaim the horror that others see in you. This is for you--for the monsters and the freaks and the eldritch abominations.
This is about reclaiming the stigma placed upon you. Maybe you are scary to them, but maybe you don't care so much about how they react? Maybe you keep being your authentic fear-inducing self out of spite. Maybe you like being a little scary because it's become intrinsic to who you are. Being open about yourself and unapologetically doing so shouldn't be a fear inflicting thing, but if it's going to be that way, you're not going to change for them. You're you, let them be scared. It's not on you to become palatable. It's not on you to hide parts of yourself away. Maybe it's on them to not see anything unknown or new as terrifying. You see the horror within yourself as nothing bad, and you openly embrace who you are and who others with differing experiences from "the norm" are too.
You don't need to be anything in particular to use the label, this isn't a term to be gatekept. Terrorpunk is reclaiming the terror that others or even yourself might think of about any part of you. That's what it's about, being unapologetically you and scary by doing so, because if people see you as someone that fills them with terror, then maybe that's fine by you. You won't change for them.
Keep in mind that this is not a term to use to cause or justify harm, exclude others or further any stigma. No one by any means has to reclaim being feared, or being something that scares people. There's some of us that find power in it though, to take the stones they throw, pick them up and ask them what they have left to throw at us.
Those who exclude others on the basis of identity (transphobes, homophobes, TERFs, ableists, racists, anti-alterhumans, aphobes and anyone else who excludes those who act on good faith) aren't included under this term. Terrorpunk isn't a basis for your hate or actions to harm marginalised groups or anyone similar. It's not an excuse to harm people in general. It's simply about being you, and if being that is scary, then so be it.

Original posts of the learning disorders flags I made a while ago here (link) and here (link).
Symbol design from this dyscalculia flag (link) made by distinct-disability-flags (link). I did not design the symbol, just made a high png quality version of it.
For archival purposes, here is under the cut the flag template with each part as its own separated png. It can be used to make your own flags with the design. But please keep it related to only learning disorders flags and give credit.
