I didn’t want to cook for myself tonight, but I read somewhere that the place I started ordering from is a sponsor of Autism Speaks.
Before placing the order, I tried to go on the AS website to check it out but I kept getting distracted by the stream of donation alerts that popped up at the bottom of the page.
It took me an additional five or so minutes to review their partnerships because it was so overstimulating.
Is it intentional, that the person’s face slightly resembles a down syndrome face? This is how they view us, no matter the evidence against it.
Can you give a link?Don’t mind, I found it out (it’s the AS website itself).You mean this: https://www.autismspeaks.org/. I meant the evidence of us usually not being intellectually disabled.
Exactly, I wanted to see the Down-ish looking person is displayed but was too lazy to first look at the most obvious place, or recognise my ambiguity. Sorry to disturb.
And yes there are eugenicist agitators posing as experts. Makes it sort of mandatory to work against.
As you started with this topic, how did those people even become the most popular autism related (to avoid the term advocacy, as they are not advocating for us, but against us) organisation?
Money.
Bob Wright who founded the organization with his wife was/is a lawyer, lobbyist and businessman, at the time they founded the organization he was chairman and executive of NBC. So he had the money and knew the right people.
