What Do You Think About Autism Speaks?

Post Reply New Topic

I hate Autism speaks they are so bad for us the Autistic people.
They only use 2-5% of the money for helping us the Autistic People.
They have none of use the Autistic people on their board.
That's my little poem. What are your thoughts on Autism Speaks.

consensus about them on this forum is generally negative

They're my least favourite organization in the entire world. Auti$m $peaks has a mission plan to rid the world of us, if they can't cure us. They see us as problems that need to be fixed, instead of individuals who can decide for ourselves whether or not we want to be cured. I don't, by the way. They think that the world would be better off without us. I don't support any organization that wants to practice eugenics. I don't wish to discuss this topic any farther in this thread and I respect that there are other members who disagree with me.

I think they are bad, and it would be better if they were shut down. I also think some people on this forum are too dramatic, and paint them as trying to start an autism genocide. I doubt they would do that as they would get less $ donated if they find the "cure".

I'm not dramatic at all. I say it like it is.

I've never heard of them until I read about them on WP, I dislike them as much as the Anti vaxxers
We can speak for ourselves.

They have a terrible track record but there are signs of change. It was discussed recently here:
