Don't get sucked into the Autism Speaks hype!

You can go to notautismspeaks.tk to find out the truth about this deplorable organization.

If you are so inclined to help spread the word of the Autistic Rights Movement/Neurodiversity Movement, send me a message and I'll give you a link to a nice little leaflet.

Neurodiversity. Isn't that changing your mind? lol

I was watching a friends kids a while back and one is austistic. I wasn't sure when their bedtime was so I asked him. No answer. Asked again...no answer. Finally I said "Scott! What time do you go to bed?". He says "Nighttime!!!". lol So I shut up.

No. Neurodiversity is the idea that people of all neurotypes should be treated as whole human beings, not some half-life that needs "cured."

Many people limit neurodiversity to just autism spectrum conditions, but many others includes autism spectrum, ADD/ADHD, Tourette's,
Prosopagnosia, Developmental Topographical disorientation, schizophrenia, bipolar, and many, many more
