Ask an Autistic #6 - What's Wrong With Autism Speaks?

What's wrong with Autism Speaks? Why do so many Autistic people protest against Autism Speaks? How does Autism Speaks' cure rhetoric hurt the Autistic community? What are some good Autism organizations that I can donate to? How can I best support the Autistic community? Answers to all of these questions and more in this episode of Ask an Autistic!
My further thoughts on the topic of Autism Speaks, cure culture, and Autism Acceptance: neurowonderful.tumblr.com/post...
