At the same time, the group scaled back its spending on grants by some $1.8 million, shaved a similar amount from its payroll and chopped $10 million in other expenses.
The figures come from Autism Speaks’ tax filing for 2016, which was publicly disclosed this month in accordance with federal tax rules.
Aurelia Grayson, a spokeswoman for the nonprofit, attributed the slump to changes in funding for the group’s MSSNG research program — an effort to sequence the DNA of over 10,000 families affected by autism — and declines in fundraising from Autism Speaks Walks.
Autism Speaks said it has made changes designed to encourage renewed growth going forward, with the introduction of a new 10-year vision, a revamped mission statement and a three-year strategic plan

Excellent news, let's hope they go under
I know there are jobs on the line for some folks, I expect the same was true at the end of the Third Riech too.

I also hope they go under, so they don't have the means to start a Fourth Reich.

I wonder if that means the boycott is working...
...or if turning over a new leaf with the demise of the Wrights has, in fact, reduced donations because, as sad as Autism$peak's shock-and-fear strategy is, human nature is just as sad in proving that IT WORKS.
Either way, it's hard for me to shed a bitter tear. My life was much easier before they spent tens of millions of dollars very publicly demonizing us for fun and profit.

I also wonder if Bob Wright resigned as CEO because of the declining revenue or the declining revenue was caused by his resignation and easing of Autistics are doppelgangers rhetoric.
