Just found this site after being inspired to research more on the cure autism movement.

http://www.autismspeaks.org

What do you think about this site?

Autism Speaks doesn't speak for me.

For background on this topic please do a search in this forum. It's well worth it and it might save us from a renewed online war.

Autism Speaks doesn't speak of anyone but itself and its misguided agendas.
See "Getting The Truth Out"

Autism speaks is certainly a negative campaign.
I've wanted to see Autism everyday for myself though. How do they know that the camera men chased the children? If anyone can link me to the video, I'd appreciate it

I still don't get why the place is called autism speaks because on their forum there is no place for people with autism to speak. It's all about how to cope with people who have autism, autism in the news with a lengthy thread about Jenny Mccarthy.

Autism cannot speak any more than any other process/function can speak. Saying autism speaks is like saying breathing speaks. As for whether or not 'Autism speaks' speaks for those on the autistic spectrum, while I would not presume to speak for others, I can say with confidence, they (Autism speaks) do not speak for me.

I hate how autism speaks is putting alll their money into finding a cure, why the heck can't they put their money into finding more research about how to help autistics rather then cure us!

That's sick. Just beyond disturbing.
