laughably-evil:

- Autism Speaks was created after a couple decided they wanted a cure for their autistic grandchild

- The CEO has called Autism a “monster that is stealing our children”

- There are no autistic people on the board for Autism Speaks

- A$ has furthered propaganda that claims autism is caused by external sources such as vaccines, gluten, and milk.

- A$ has produced short films demonizing the condition, claiming it will “destroy marriages” and you will “never know peace”.

- A$ has been condemned by both autistic people and mental health experts

- A$ is also classified by autistic people as a hate group

- A$ has recently allied with a group of bikers who are known for white supremacy

- Only 4% of A$ funds raised go to help families, with 33% going to media and lobbying.

Please do not give Autism Speaks a single cent of your money. Instead, consider donating to Autistic Women’s Network or Autistic Self-Advocacy Network instead.
