Mad Pride focuses on expressing the unique ways people experience the world in terms of making meaning, developing communities, and creating culture.

Not everyone with psychiatric disabilities identifies as Mad.
Do people these days really talk like in a Vincent Price horror movie: “I’m mad, mad I tell you! Ma-a-a-a-a-a-ad!”
In 1980 I visited the Museum of Art Brut in Lausanne, Switzerland, which was built around Jean Dubuffet’s collection of art from insane asylums and the like. But the artworks weren’t particularly ma-a-a-a-ad, they were more autistic (a word that I don’t believe I had in my vocabulary yet), made by people with a lot of time on their hands: e.g., a 5-foot-tall model of the Eiffel Tower made out of 10,000 toothpicks.
