You could try this one. If it doesn't work, there is a search box in the web sight.

"I fully support therapies that genuinely help autistic people function in our neurotypical society. It's just that attempts to "cure" us by making us just like everybody else are misguided at best. The only thing autism "cures" accomplish is teaching autistic people to act neurotypical while believing that they are broken."

I sure agree with that right there.
