I think that Autism Speaks should be called Autism Silenced.
I tend to agree, and there is no way me or my son would want a cure, but I guess not being so seriously affected by Autism than some others, and reaitively new to being diagnosed just wanted to hear from all view points... get message loud and clear... who speaks the loudest!
Just trying to stay open minded I guess.... but still feel these are the sort of organizations we need to work with, flood there forums etc... to help change attitudes, instead of just complaining about them.
and maybe it is just one person dictating to the "flock" I guess I want to believe surly they can not all have that attitude but then again being realistic, I guess these quotes puts things back in prospective for me... sadly they are not the only people who think this way, quite narrow minded here in NZ also

Or is it a group of those on the periphery, looking in from the outside and attempting to be benevolent dictators, believing they know best for everyone.
That reminds me of "The White Man's Burden." Same sort of arrogant attitude.
