    Autism Speaks And Why They Are Terrible

    neednothavehappenedtobetrue:

    So apparently our school is doing something with Autism Speaks in April. I blurted “Autism Speaks is super terrible” and got stares.

    I would like to make sure my school isn’t accidentally doing something super terrible. Dear Tumblr, can you help me find some links explaining the extreme terribleness of Autism Speaks?

    Here are some short somethings: http://www.squidoo.com/autistics-speak-for-themselves
