ok now i laugh when Autism Speaks found out how old i was they dropped all charges and said "Just use a differant theme" but i think i'm going to stop running it because part of the deal was that Autism Speaks owns the domain/and hosting for it. i dont want them to have control over a site that is Anti-Autism Speaks.

Well done for winning!

And yah boo sucks to the bullies for trying to strongarm an autistic child.

How can they try to bully you into handing over the site? Haven't they heard

cn grats.

Thank goodness - I can't believe they found a problem with it - silly really.   Lawyers will be lawyers I guess....

If you'd like, you can always turn over the source code to someone else, and have the site still exist under a different domain name. If you picked someone for another country, for example, it would make it difficult for them to do anything...

Even though there's not a suit actually going through, it still may be worthwhile to contact the media. There are many times on local news where they have a brief bit about some absurd lawsuit that was dropped before it ever went to trial.

OMG

*breathes a sigh of relief*

I was sh*tting my pants ALL day long worrying about you.

I even asked my dad for advice, and he told me that you should do this one thing that I forgot what he said but I guess it doesn't matter.

OMG! Im so glad for you! Disaster adverted!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

although you could still send it to the media!


"heartless autism charity tries to sue poor underage helpless autistic"


that would sure make Autism Speaks blush!!

I'm glad to hear it.

It is a good thing no blood was shed!

We have to stay diplomatic when times like these happen!

Geez. Thank goodness.

I can't believe they were trying to sue.

Awesome, I'm so glad to hear it's worked out alright.

Now, this is a victory that should be well used for all its worth.

The potential negative publicity for autism weeps, is huge, if the media are involved and its worked along the right angles.

Lets string the bastards out to dry

Maybe you should try sending it to some of the people at Autism Hub

Darn. I never got to see it, and now it's down. LOL.

It's stupid though that Autism Speaks now owns it. Did you tell them about the fair use laws? If the process was already agreed upon (by your parents) it can't be reversed because it is a contract. HOWEVER, if your parents never had any contact with the Autism Speaks people over this situation and never agreed to anything, you could still get ownership back. Legally, minors can't sign contracts, on paper or verbally.
