It looks like there was a large number of people on the protest.

Good thing, although I personally couldn't stop laughing when I watched the autism speaks "awareness" video. It makes so absolutely no sense.

In a variety of locations across the country, yes. If you'd like to help organize one, please e-mail us at info@autisticadvocacy.org. In the meantime, Anonymous, are you connected to our Portland Chapter yet? The link to their website is http://www.meetup.com/PDX-Autistic-Self-Advocacy-Network They have a meeting this Friday that should be very well attended.

FYI: ASAN-New England is trying to organize folks to do a protest in Nashua, NH on October 4th and ASAN-Central Ohio/Ohio State University is doing a protest on October 11th. ASAN-New England is also planning a protest for Boston later in October and other protest plans are rapidly coming together. Again, please e-mail info@autisticadvocacy.org if you would like to get involved, start a protest or connect with existing efforts.

This is a good start, but it won't be enough to stop this organization. Violence is the only answer to this kind of problem. The NT's can hate me/us all they want, they will be gone soon enough.
