How about:-
Read and research intensively all the available information, do not rely upon only anecdotal evidence.

"Let's stop "tolerating" or "accepting" difference, as if we're so much better for not being different in the first place. Instead, let's celebrate difference, because in this world it takes a lot of guts to be different." -Kate Bornstein
"Nobody would dispute the place for interventions that alleviate areas of difficulty, while leaving the areas of strength untouched. But to talk about a 'cure for autism' is a sledge-hammer approach and the fear would be that in the process of alleviating the areas of difficulty, the qualities that are special - such as the remarkable attention to detail, and the ability to concentrate for long periods on a small topic in depth - would be lost. Autism is both a disability and a difference. We need to find ways of alleviating the disability while respecting and valuing the difference." -Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen

I don't have any quotes for you, but I'd just like to say that I think you're incredibly brave. I, sad to say, would not have the guts.

They were in a text file of quotes I'd collected for possible use in a talk I did a couple of months ago. I didn't use most of the quotations because I had so many, so these were not used even though I think they are very good.

I seriously doubt that "autism" is the problem to attack if we wanted to help the autistic people of today.

No, it's prejudice and ignorance that we need to attack.

One thing to mention is the many quack autism treatments, like stuff that get through DAN! conferences:
http://www.autism-watch.org/
The DAN! concept is to market alternative treatments even before double-blind tests and scientific evidence can determine whether the treatments are on to something. It is mainly parents who present the treatment and theory ideas through the conferences.
And here we have abit about chelation as an alternative treatment to heart disease and autism:
http://www.chelationwatch.org/
... and other things like Thethole neuro-acupuncture could be interesting to look up on.
A big topic on autism treatment quackery is the anecdotal evidences which often prove to be misleading.

One poster here- I forget who- uses this as her signature:
Short on empathy, not compassion.
I love that and it might open some minds.....
