"Autism Speaks", a corporate protege' out to "cure" autism; informed consent apparently optional

I am going to leave most of the talking to the source link since they seem to have an accurate description of the corruption and ignorance that is rampant at Autism Speaks, a self-appointed organization seeking a "cure" for autism.

For years I have been telling my clients and anyone who would listen that us adults need to change the way we look at autism from a disease to cure to a personality we need to treat as equal. I tell them that if we don't undergo this paradigm shift and soon, then this generation of autistics is Going to grow up into adulthood and punish everyone who mistreated them. And as proof of what I have been saying, here is an article published by college students in georgia exposing autism speaks for it's rampant corruption in appropriating funds and rampant ignorance in promoting a cure for autism. They view autism spectrum as a mistake that needs to be corrected. They go further to research tests that can be done on pregnant women so they can be given the choice to abort instead of having an autistic child.

The scandal grows further but I will leave it to the source link. Our ignorance as a society and our intolerance for anyone who sounds different is going to come back and haunt us. And I am not speaking about some alien minority or some outside group. I am talking about our own children, nephews and nieces. They are growing up and they are good at rebelling. Heed or face the wrath of an oppressed minority.
