RE: Autism Speaks, Our enemy (redux3)

I like this link that was on another thread here..

at minimum it explains why NOT to give them money.

oh - the reason the word enemy is used is because (I think) of an ad campaign that created "awareness" to such a huge extent that the first time people (in the US) seemed to have even heard of autism - it was as if it was a disease - it was likened to "cancer" and death and the "stealing" of your child... (I will not post the link to it) FEAR mongering - I doubt any of us who experiencing FIRST hand how all of a sudden a whole group of people - autistics - were pitied and on top of it - someone else was "Speak"ing for us... NO, no they were not and are not.

they are all talk and no action.  oh and the money for "research" is meant to find a gene and then prenatal test for it so people can be aborted (true).. not a good feeling. (you must admit)
