Autism Everyday is a "Doctored Film"

You won't find Jason McElwain's story on the Autism Speaks website. You won't find any videos of autistic children unless they further Autism Speaks hopelessness and pity message.

You won't find anything written by an autistic person, save a very controversial letter written by a member of Grasp.

You won't find any autistic employees among the 130 employees of Autism Speaks. There aren't any autistic board members. Unlike other charities such as The National Down's Syndrome Society, Autism Speaks will not allow autistic people to serve in any capacity, not that we would want to, but it might be a nice gesture to be invited.

You won't find any autistic speakers at Autism Speaks rallies. I know for a fact that autistic people have offered to speak at rallies and events. But, we have been summarily rejected and told that the rallies and events are not a proper "venue" for us to speak at.
