Description
(before you ask, I really am autistic.)For those that are not autistic but still don't support AS: fav.me/d8x0mtz
Mintaka-TK explains it better, but I'm going to take a shot anyway:
Autism Speaks is just a horrible organization, period. They're basically the equivalent of PETA and Nazis, only replace animals and Jews with autistic people. They want to find a cure for autism, and that's IMPOSSIBLE. If autistic people have their autism gone, they're not who they really are anymore. Nobody who is actually autistic is on their senior staff. Just.... BLEH!
TL;DR: AS is a horrible organization.

Agreed! Autism speaks is a terrible organization who wants to cure autism and they don't even a autistic member on the crew!
(Oh, I didn't know you were autistic! I myself have autism too!)

They're terrible, but they have good intentions.
Completely stupid, arguably genocidal ideas, but good intentions.
Causing severe harm by trying to help. Kinda reminds me of this:
Near End of World in 1990s - Klebsiella PlanticolaKlebsiella planticola. Perhaps the most terrifying GMO bacterium ever created...
In the 1990s, a genetically modified bacteria that converts plant life to alcohol was almost released into the wild. If that had been done so, it would have continued to spread across the globe, destroying plants and crops... and eventually 99% of all land based life as we know it, as most animals rely on plants in one way or another, would be extinct. Including us.

I'm just going to keep calm and hope the apocalypse doesn't happen in my lifetime! XD
I have little faith in humanity due to things like this, or meeting or observing people in general...
I wish scientists could be more patient with learning more about genetics before tampering with it in such reckless manners.

Imagine someone with autism and depression simultaneously finding statements from this organization.
If I were that guy, I'd probably believe their preaching.

I am autistic as well
((Well, technically it is aspergers, but they are quite similar))
this is just horrible.
If I didn't hear about this, I think I would have believed workers for this organization.
