Volunteering for Autism Speaks sounds like a good thing. But it could be a bad thing
As I understand it, autism speaks does more to hurt people than help them. The videos tend to treat autism like this horrible demonic presence that serves only to destroy the lives of people around the aitistic person in question. I haven't heard anything positive about it. I wonder if there are more positive organizations out there that actually do try to help.
