Um they want to make a certain subset of disabled people no longer exist by way of eugenics.

They put out PSAs that make people fear the thought of having an autistic child and push the belief that it's the worst thing that could happen and they have said that they want to make autism 'a word for the history books'.

How is that NOT a hate group. They just hide it by pretending that they care about them and are doing it "for their own good" .Which makes them especially dangerous.

Eugenics as in telling people who to make babies with? Do they advocate sterilising autistic people? Because that is what eugenics means. Here, I'll make this easy by linking you to the Wikipedia page about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics

ETA: don't get me wrong, I get that Autism Speaks are really, really shitty people, but you don't do yourself any favours when it comes to transmitting that fact if you use terms like 'eugenics' and 'hate group'. It is really easy for Autism Speaks to defend themselves against such claims. It would be less easy for them to justify what they do if you define it accurately instead of reverting to hyperbole.
