A corrupt and hateful organization that views
autism as a disease that needs to be cured, in which close-minded moms
will end up pouring massive amounts of
money into in order to make their children "the perfect child." They view autistic people as sub-humans who are incapable of love and affection, in which they'll end up using torturous methods such as ABA therapy to convert them to acting "normal." This is a pure example of corporate greed as they are using fear mongering techniques in order to gain as much
money as possible even though less than 10% of all the
money they receive actually goes to helping the families themselves. There's a reason why so many autistics (including me) heavily despise
Autism Speaks and that'
s because they aren't even listening to the actual autistic people themselves. Instead, They decide to listen to the parents, who are often too ignorant to understand how we actually feel.
