Yeah I saw it.
It makes us (Autistics in general) look like a huge burden on our families and friends. I hate Autism Speaks - I hope they someday do autistics a favor and just stop.

Horrible propaganda. But I love how the actual video comes up 15th on a YouTube search for "I Am Autism", UNDER all the parodies and protests. _________________ Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits.

I just watched the video, and I hope you realize that this video is meant to show the point most of us are trying to say about Autism Speaks---they don't listen. This video was made by people who are against Autism Speaks. This video is meant to rally us with autism (and those who care) to promote our voices and become our own advocacy group. _________________ "My journey has just begun."

Because you think they're geniuses who want to help autistic people, even though all the money goes to their salaries or to a eugenics program.
That's ironic, because some guy here earlier said that Autism Speaks spends it on research on autism, and that they seek genocide for it, not to give away all the money to their salaries or to a eugenics program.

That person was me, and they DO spend lots on salaries, and the rest goes to genocide research.
See this video:

The research they are doing is for eugenics. That's it. They don't care about helping to support people with autism or helping them be the best that they can be. They wish we were dead.
