wrongplanet bought out autism speaks, so i read.

"Wrong Planet has acquired autism organization Autism Speaks for $80 million dollars. The deal was completed early tuesday morning and marks a turning point in the campaign by autistics who feel that their needs were not represented by an organization that is run without any input from people with Autism.

"We decided to announce the deal today because this is the first day of Autism Awareness Month" said Wrong Planet founder Alex Plank. "I am planning on completely restructuring the organization to meet the needs of people with autism for the first time" he said."

i was wondering about the 80kk

Replied to both links, though I had no way to show my NT status on petition

Hey, I just saw your age. Well done!

Shayne, the announcement that WP bought out Autism was an April Fools joke.

wow, treating autistics like lepers in bad enough, but suing someone (a 14-year old at that) for making a joke and pointing out the idiocy behind Autism Speaks? ...

I can think of no words for that kind of thing...grr.

i did sign the petition though.
