Reblogging to spread the word, cause evidence shows that Autism $peaks are classic horror movie villains.

Reblogging because I’ve always wondered who to support instead of AS.

This post is old but still relevant.

Also, avoid :

• TACA
• Autism One
• National Autistic Society
• Autism Society
• Generation Rescue

National autistic society - as in the UK one? What’s wrong with them?

[autistic-af]

They do help autistics, mainly parents, but they see autism as an epidemic.

They’ve refused to back legislation that would protect Autistic children

Been involved in recent abuse scandals in which they got no real punishment

Are for ABA therapy no matter what (they have refused to make an official statement on it)

And many others that I’ve read.

Here’s a good post that outlines the good and bad of autism groups.
