Warning:  Autism Speaks is a multi-billion dollar scam created to take advantage of autism for the purpose of making money.  It is the largest organization for autism and is highly controlled.  Autism Speaks many lies and does not allow adults on the autism spectrum to speak at their conventions.  The only adults on the autism spectrum who they permit visibility are those who will not challenge their agenda (profits).

Likewise, Generation Rescue is a non-evidence based fringe organization that promotes the debunked hypothesis that autism is caused by vaccines.

The ABA therapy of "retraining the brain" is merely a fancy way of saying "brainwashing."  Autism is not a disease that gets "cured" by "treatments."  Because this is so highly complex and time-consuming to grasp an understanding of, most people eagerly go for what looks good.  Admittedly it does appear on the surface to seem very good, but the long-term consequences provide a lot of risk.  The "therapy" society needs, in regards to autism, is education to eliminate the ignorance and misleading information about autism; plus, to eliminate the bigotry and intolerance of those who are neuro-A-typical.
