it's so much more than that sir. It's a "charity" that advocates using ECT. I mean, seriously. How does that help anyone?
Look it's the blogger who wrote that because Autism Speaks had ties to Trump it was no good. They've been around for 10 years; Trump 10 minshttps://twitter.com/ejwillingham/status/848781599332118530 …

What is ECT?? (I seriously don't know & would like to)
-
ECT stands for Electro-Convulsive Therapy. It is what it sounds like - electrocution in hopes of "fixing". It's shock treatment.
-
they use ECT to treat people suffering depression. There's no medical proof it works w/autism.

All this because you tried to support a charity and put a little kindness and decency in the world...
-
As I understood it, the charity had some ideas regarding autism that were objectionable to a lot of people.
-
As I understand it, someone who didn't need to be, was trying to be supportive and do a good thing. And grief and negativity followed.
-
Those people weren't right.even if the charity Mr. Shatner supported might not have been the right one out of many , according to them.
-
That's my point. And all Mr Shatner did was change his pic and hash tagged world autism day.

That's really not the only reason they're bad, though. Are you open to hearing other reasons?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. Undo -

I appreciate you trying to raise awareness though, but there are far better autism organisations/charities to associate with.

Using my
#ActuallyAutistic powers I see she said they're no good because they "spent years...demonizing autistic people". -
And if you'd followed the link she provided you would've found things such as thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UgLnWJFGHQ …

They are made up of a bunch of parents who can't deal with their chuldren being different.
@WilliamShatner -
they may not be a good organization but they are made up of parents who want their kids to have a better life.
-
Most parents do want a better life for their kuds, agreed. As long as "better" doesn't mean squeeze in a mold.
