This is a collection of links discussing various controversies involving Autism Speaks.

Beyond adding more links (which is helpful), it would also be useful to add summaries of each entry, to facilitate picking out particular posts to answer particular questions, or that are best suited for particular audiences. JesseW, the juggling janitor 19:56, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Responses to the "I Want to Say" video

[edit]
  • http://www.autismwomensnetwork.org/article/not-good-enough-autism-speaks
    I watched a video about AAC changing lives of non-speaking Autistics. It sounded great and the title - I Want to Say - seemed to indicate that our voices, the voices of Autistics who type to communicate, would be the main focus.
    ...
    Autistics in the video were not allowed to get their message across. They were never asked what their message was, how they feel or even asked to type their names.
    Not good enough, Autism Speaks. Not even close.
