| If you don't have an IEP, you should talk to you Dr and parents about doing a 504 plan. This will legally bind them to allowing you to wear your sunglasses. I wish my brother and I had known about this when we were in school because the sun can be brutal. I'm already expecting to have to do it with ... |

| I'm not being melodramatic. Alex's intentions weren't good. Alex's intentions were to make money on a degree he gained. He has every right to do that, but he also must accept the consequences of his actions. |

| You give credence to their cause by allowing the WrongPlanet name to be attached to their organization. Autism Speaks can't be "all bad" if they support WrongPlanet. Who cares that they're still funding genetic research to "prevent" Autism. Who cares that none of their money goes to helping families... |

| You mean, you don't care that money that should be going to help Autistic people is still going to finding the genetic cause to "prevent" Autism.. Because they are sponsoring Autism Talk TV? And that Alex has basically soiled the WrongPlanet name by giving credence to their cause by taking their mon... |

| I had been so happy to meet you at the ASA conference. I thought that you, Sandy and Jason did a wonderful job. I even came back home and was outraged that people said you had sold out to Autism Speaks. Now watching these two videos, I realize they were right. And it saddens me. I thought it was mer... |

I was especially upset about the frame 54 seconds into it. What do all of you think?

| I don't know whether the poll meant by AS Parents: "Parents of those with AS," "AS folks that happen to be Parents," or, in all probability, "Both of the above." It's actually the latter. AS people that happen to be parents. There is already a forum on here for parents of those with ASDs. We with A... |

| It can be very dangerous to willy nilly give to your Autism Society local chapter. My local chapter is very bio-med and pro-cure friendly. To the point that they very tightly moderate those with opposing views. I'd be much more apt to donate to a local organization that I know promotes ND views. |

| You should look at Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) at http://www.autisticadvocacy.org . They have a Change.org donation link on their main site. As well, if you want to donate to a large organization in your area that helps all disabled, not just Autistics, look into Easter Seals. They provide... |
