I'm not saying "no cure" or "don't complain about your situation if you have an autistic kid"

But making a PSA where the only point is parents talking about how awful it is to have an autistic kid. No message of hope, nothing positive just "have an autistic kid? WELL THAT SUCKS", When you're entire ad campaign is just telling people how HORRIBLE autistics are...you're not helping.

It's not that much to ask to want people to listen to the people with the disorder. Maybe idk spread awareness that it's a way the brain works. Coming up with solutions for the time being to work with them, and actually advocate thinking of the autistic as a person rather than "an overgrown drooling baby" or "a burden". Maybe come up with things like sponsoring a program to have more functional autistics working and trying to help them.

Most definitely have support groups for the parents and allow them to vent in that context.

I'm just saying Autism Speaks could do a lot more if it focused on actually helping everyone, rather than spending so much money telling people how bad the problem is for non functional autistics.

Their approach is the problem.

I don't have a problem with parents venting, but the venting shouldn't be used as something to show other people as if it's any kind of "education" about the situation.

Autism Speak's entire angle is "Autism sucks and Autistic people are burdens. Cure them so we don't have to deal with them" . There's nothing wrong with finding that offensive. Please don't attack a person who has more involvement than you in the issue for having an opinion.

Non-functioning autistics ARE burdens. There is no positive to caring for an adult baby for the rest of your life, and complaining that they didn't sugar coat the issue to help you feel good is petty on your part. You don't have to deal with a non-function adult, or change their diapers, or deal with constant tantrums. You don't have to skip going out, or living your life, because your adult baby needs constant care. Sugar-coating a serious problem is not a good solution, period.

Still the OP was stating her fucking opinion and feelings and SHE explained it quite thorughly. YOU continued to attack her for it.

The OP actually has compassion for the people WITH the disorder while all you care about is the people around them. You're sickening
