I wanted to order a pizza tonight, but I read somewhere that the place I started ordering from is a proud sponsor of Autism Speaks. Before placing the order, I tried to go on the AS website to check but I kept getting distracted by the stream of donation alerts that popped up at the bottom of the page.
It took me about five or so minutes longer than it should have to confirm their partnerships because it was so distracting.
They treat autism as a disease to be cured, which is a disgusting way to think about it. Their founder also claimed that it’s “possible” that autism is caused by vaccines, which is scientifically disproven. There are also no autistic members of their board, which means no actual representation for the people they claim to want to help.
Thank you!
