My son is doing a report on eugenics and he wants to talk about the slippery slope it can quickly become. We found an image of an old eugenics display from a state fair in the 1920's (I believe) and I seem to remember an add campaign that looked similar in the early 2000's about the incidence and costs of autism. If anyone knows what I am talking about and can supply a link he would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Autism speaks is trying to alter their image. They probably won't have their original firebrand rhetoric on there anymore.
