Is it true that the Wright's apologized for the their fundraising and are now launching a campaign for the "Neurotypical Education Act" mandating that neurotypicals must take a course explaining how not to be ablest?

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
