How did you find this website, ASPOM? Its message definitely seems nice to the average unsuspecting person, but it's just as bad as the message a normal MAGA hat gives.

I found it on the twitter account started to publicize the anti vaxx book “How to End the Autism Epidemic” written by the founder of “Generation Rescue”. So I assume the money will go to him not Autism Speaks. The site does not say where the money will go which should always raise suspicions.

The following is sarcasm that might not be understood by those who do not follow the issues discussed in the PPR section
I do not know why these people decided to market themselves just to Trump supporters. The should produce “cancel autism” and “no platform pro neurodivesity hate speech” , and “safe space for NT’s” gear for SJW’s.

I would replace the word "Autism" with "Trump" so it becomes MTGA

I find this all hilarious because it looked like satire to me.

You've done it. You've found the worst thing. The search is over.

I have found a lot worse. If an offensive hat is the worst thing I find from now on it will be a big improvement.

"Families with Autism"? I didn't know I had a family member named Autism. I have never seen or heard from them, I have no idea what they look like. All I know is that I'm living with him/her/they/it/whatever, and they came with me when I moved out and got my own apartment. You're always hearing what nightmares NT roommates are, so I do appreciate that Autism is much quieter and non-intrusive. I don't have to write my name on my food so they won't eat it, and they don't leave a gross mess in the bathroom when they get cleaned up. :)
