Tweeting Against #AutismSpeaks10

Post Reply New Topic

They've been doing the #autismchampions hashtag for a long time. It's very patronizing.

Made a pleb video about it, HA. So much truth, courage, and honour in the hashtag, it's glorious, and they're all heroes.



We're also starting to see "reverse-discrimination" accusations going around, just like when gay people get accused of anti-Christian bigotry. Might have to make another pleb video on that.

Lol sooner or later they're going to run out of tags and we'll have an army of tags on our end.

Autism Speaks would like a review of their 10 years of hate and bigotry.

Lol it's like they're begging us all to rip them a new one. Oh well, plenty of us will let them have it, the only problem I foresee is them deleting content they don't like, so all they will have on their page is shining reviews from supporters.

As is my understanding currently...

The article reported on both "positive" and negative tweets about Autism Speaks in a public forum (twitter), and had an Autism Speaks advertisement showing what Speaks thinks of us.

There was no ethic boundary that required them to ask Autism Speaks anything, as they weren't reporting it as "this is fact", they we're commenting on and showing the tweets.

MTV News reached out to Autism Speaks for further comment.

After 2 hours of the article being live, MTV pulled the article, and later stated it was pulled because A$ wasn't given "ample" opportunity to comment on the article, which is untrue.

From this we can deduce:
MTV are giving preferential treatment to A$.
A$ is scared of us.

Here is the google cache of the article:

MTV has not been relevant in 20 years.

We have been fighting on their turf, big money, mainstream media. Now they are on ours. Autistics I believe had a part building the internet and will out maneuver them on this venue. Not that the other stuff in unimportant, but we win this we win The Millennial's and younger and eventually us baby Boomers will be dead and that generation will be in power. I don't think without the use of the web, LBGT rights and visibility would have happened to nearly this degree.

Wow, do A$ just bully everyone they can't ignore into making them look good? Because that's the impression I'm getting. And have they ever publicly acknowledged that most autistic people hate them? Please let me know if this has happened, because I'm honestly not sure it has. They usually just hide behind their collection of "autism parents" who get to yell that, "You don't know what it's like having a child with severe autism!! !" every time anyone criticises A$.

And that's the power that money has. I don't know if it was a donor or A$ itself, but just the fear of a very lengthy and very costly litigation battle, even if it's frivolous, would be enough to have the article pulled.

That would be my guess. I don't know for certain what happened, but that's my guess.

The fastest way to solve this would be to cut them off from all that money. That means vocally changing public opinion, so that gradually over time A$ doesn't have this flow of money coming in from the public to fund their bigotry and eugenics. That's why I think every Aspergian, every Autistic, should be on different forums not just blogs, social media, podcasts, put a real and human face on us by making youtube vids or live streams, whatever it takes.

More from the MTV story.

This shows clear bias towards the hate group, and censorship of quotes given.

She tried to excuse the censorship by saying it was "fair and balanced" to do so, after Autism Speaks refused to comment.

As it turns out, Caitlin Abber (the editor) wanted to censor parts of the article, but instead, while having a tantrum, took the whole article down.


I am just gobsmacked at the level of professionalism, or lack, thereof, and the blatant support of hate groups.

Ugh, that's awful. Thanks for the update on it, though.

"Fair and balanced"? The editor is clearly a supporter of A$.
There's no such thing as "fair and balanced" when it comes to the news, there is truth, and then there is fiction, no "fair and balanced" vs "unfair and unbalanced". Fairness isn't even in the equation of the search for truth.
