It's not that it 's just the way they do it .

You know what offends me? Seeing their PSA where other parents say they would like to kill their children and themselves. The fact that their board members have said that they wished their own autistic children would drown .

It's the fucking fact that altogether they're shifty and are pushing this idea on parents that having an autistic child is HORRIBLE . They only concentrate on how much it sucks and how "difficult" autistic people are.

I wouldn't mind if they found a cure to help people. But it feels like their approach is "stamp out the autistics"

They won't even let a person on the spectrum be on their board. Which gives the idea that they're trying to speak for people with autism. For a group that calls themselves Autism Speaks, that's pretty damn fucking hypocritical.

I'm not against the idea of a cure. I find Autism Speaks offensive because their actions are speaking louder than words and their actions seem to be screaming "we just want you gone".

Why don't you think from another perspective , and not be so lazy as to assume it's about my identity.

How is it lazy to not know something? I might not have learned that if I'd just googled it. I'd rather hear the reasons for people's opinions from them, rather than try and figure them out from objective materials.

It was annoying that you immediately jumped to telling someone they were selfish and fucking shaming them for how they felt and trying to make them feel bad for it.

Sorry. I guess I was out of line....I'd cut out my own brain if I thought it would cure me, so I get pretty offended about people possibly saying there shouldn't be cures and all....

Thanks

I understand.

Different people have different experiences with it. I just worry about AS's methods and how they intend on doing it.

Also some of the things from their PSA were disturbing. Like the mother who talked about committing double suicide/homicide with her autistic daughter in the room, as if the daughter wouldn't hear or have feelings about it. Also the families in the PSA were told to stop therapy for their children for awhile so the kids would "act more autistic".

I understand and believe that a cure would be a good thing to have, but at the same time should be treated carefully and not forced upon someone who doesn't want it. Just because the idea of someone forcing a thing that will change the way my body functions is kind of disturbing to me. But I wouldn't say there shouldn't be a cure for those that do want it.

It really depends on what part of the spectrum their child is at. If their autistic child is nothing more than an angry drooling baby for their entire life, then yes, I can see why these parents would be upset.
