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.

    Just a few points, you’ll find much more just putting “autism speaks controversy” into the search engine of your choice.

    They view autism as a disease that needs to be cured.

    They made videos saying autism will destroy your marriage, your family and your life.

    They advocate to develop prenatal testing for autism with the goal of having women abort their supposedly autistic babies.
