Sounds very much like an organization that wants to reinvent its past.

The point is that an organization doesn't reinvent its past so thoroughly unless they are at least a little ashamed of it and they want to move in a new direction.

Well done Tambourine Man. You were a lot gentler than I would have been, but you've got a dialogue happening. If Autism Speaks wants to reinvent itself and move in a new direction then it is surely better that we are having some input into that, regardless of whether they were a pretty disgusting outfit in the past.
