To 19jacinta88: Autism speaks is a cureby organization that aims to eradicate autism in all its forms through genetic testing, without allowing autistics to speak out against them even though most are against a cure

kissmy, Nazis didn't openly talk about butchering Jews either. A "cure" infers there is something wrong with being autistic. A "cure" infers that it can be fixed. But if it's genetic, the only way to do that is to abort. The very stance of a "cure" for autism is enough to set me against it, because it is an opinion similar to Down's Syndrome, which is not remotely similar.

That's totally 100% true :/

but by the content of their character. Just like MLK and the racial issue in the South. We deserve to live just like anyone else. Life is a right, not a privilege.

Down with Autism Speaks! Not only do they want to cure the autism spectrum, but they also had thoughts of curing ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, bipolar disorder, etc. Like trying to wipe us out wasn't bad enough. What they don't realize is they will kill the whole human population over some "defect". So what if your child can't talk or read? That doesn't mean you should wipe the entire human race. There is no "perfect gene." I want to live in a world where people aren't judged by their neurology, cont.

@asperger15 Every second the sham charity is in existence, I piss my pants.......

@CrimsonPumpernickel Those dickhairs who claim we're "puzzles" are Section 8. Maybe they have a rare genetic disorder that causes them to be swindlers and antichrist-like

If something sounds wrong, don't waste a second

This is what happens when ppl don't do research before supporting an organization. I now feel guilty for having supported Autism Speaks two years in a row! I had no idea it was so hated by the very ppl I am trying to help! Never again! I will look into other organizations to decided where to send my "help" to. DO YOUR RESEARCH PPL! You maybe harming the very ppl you are trying to help.

Autism's cause can't be pinpointed because it isn't an illness. I can see the parents of children who will need care the rest of their lives wishing to have that child "cured" but what about the Aspies and other high functioning people? From what I've learned so far, most are intelligent people who have much to share and some have gone on to change the basic way we all live. I haven't been diagnosed yet but have no doubt I'm on the spectrum and can learn the skills I lack, no cure needed.

This is sooooooo stupid.

This video is so true about Autism Speaks. If Autism Speaks wants kids with autism aborted just because they could have autism, FUCK YOU, AUTISM SPEAKS! In my opinion, autism is not a disabililty. It is a difference. If having autism is a disability, we may as well say that cats born with tabby fur or dogs born with long tails are disabled.
