So, in other words, only 4% goes to actual autistic people - and that's probably mainly just going to children.

Your graph shows 2010- here is one from 2013, no improvement. Also, look up the executive salaries- quite high for a "non-profit" organization.

I wish they would spend a significantly larger portion to child/adult services, where it could make a direct impact on the autism community (like helping our son).
