Yeah, isn't it a poorly made copy of the 'Anonymous' video?

I think this is pretty stupid.

It's not funny when you think about how ASpeaks will lash out in response to this... joke? Threat? Terrorism? Whatever it is supposed to be.

The look of the green/blue-ish sky made me think of atomic bombs.

This makes AutismSpeaks sound like Al Qaeda... honestly people. :roll:

And that creepy synth voice ... last time I heard that I was inside a Borg cube. :!:

Somebody somewhere is blowing things way of proportion!! !

Making terror-tapes for charity organizations? I do not believe it.

I liked it.

It reminded me of the "character" I used to pretend to be when I was homeless and didn't want people to bother me. It was more like a caricature of the "street tuff" and I wore the punk rock costume as well. I would be giggling on the inside because I knew that I had never been in a fight in my life and was an avowed pacifist. It was just acting to try and avoid violence and it worked for me.

It's not like they are threatening physical violence towards anyone...just the destruction of an advertising campaign and agenda that most of us think is harmful to autistics. Whats the problem with that? They are just using some of the "emotion laden images and words" that AS uses back on them. I thought the clouds looked cool and I love the Steven Hawkins imitation..JK.

I thought it was very clever. It's what we always say on here that they talk about the evils of autism without actually letting any real autistic people speak their mind about it. It didn't seem like it was threatening to do any actual harm.

I felt like it was just reminding them that real autistic people want to represent themselves and that not all forms of autism are bad. We don't all want to be cured.

"We are autistics, and you don't speak for us."

Dunno about the rest of the video, but that line made me lol.

The vid is totally anonymous. It's not even a real human voice we're hearing. It's someone typing on a voice-synthesizer for crying out loud. Very, very timid.
