Frankly, I have had enough "advocacy" from concerned wealthy people to f*****g choke on it. I don't want any help from Mark Zuckerberg, or Bill Gates, or anyone else, regardless of whether they're "one of my tribe" or not. I think I'll take care of myself, thanks.
As for philanthropy-- It's their money, they can do with it as they please (as long as they're not buying the use of the genitals of children or in other wise attempting to own a human being). I realize there are those occasional tragic stories, but, by and large, the average African has it a lot worse than the average Autistic. Unless you live in Flint, Michigan, I'm willing to bet you can get clean water to drink without walking miles and risking being abducted or killed by radical Islamic militants, just for starters. Being born in Autistic Land doesn't come with a 20% chance of dying by your fifth birthday (yet anyway).
