Watch out for Autism Speaks. Remember what happened to the 14 year old boy who did a parody of their site?

that's right folks, we hosted it here!

Kelly/Abscout was bullied into removing it - they didn't have the right to do it, parody is protected.

That's mildly inaccurate, I created another parody lifting their homepage content directly - hoping to piss off their lawyers even more. I then sent them an email basically saying "come on then". No response.

I was looking forward to this too:

To whom it may concern (forward this to your legal department please):

Your actions against the former owner of this site:

Have backfired.

http://www.ntspeaks.com

Your organisation has a low reputation in the autistic community already, but this most recent action is a bit too low. Consider this advance warning as I will be bringing this to the attention of the mass media.

Autistics can speak
It's time for you to listen.

Great stuff! It wouldn't hurt Autism Speaks to do a little listening.

Hmmm... Listening. What a concept.

Wasn't it Sun Tsu who said, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."? In that light, it's not a bad idea to keep an eye on their science pages. It is a really good digest of what is currently going on in the way of research (albeit from a very misguided premise). If you can weed through all the Curebie dialog there is useful information to be gleaned.

Staying on top of the most recent scientific discoveries makes us better able to respond intelligently to those who don't understand that autism is a way of being, not a disease or disorder.
