I was protesting outside the concert venue for a benefit concert for Cure Autism Now by Twisted Sister band. I was there from about 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. I had to leave because I was so cold. I gave out about three of the AFF anti-CAN protest leaflets. I had printed off some AFF one page pamphlets but no takers. I wrote a letter to the band and left it with a leaflet and pamphlet at the backstage office mail slot. I think I was too early for the band or crew people to be there yet. I also made and laminated a "ACCEPT autism Now" sign. I put it on my backpack and then I held the anti-CAN leaflets in front of me while I walked up and down in front of the concert venue. It might have been more successful if I had done this while people were lining up to get into the concert but then, I could have had some problems. The battle against cureism goes on.
Here is my Accept autism sign:
