for those of us not really in tune to these organizations, can you explain in more detail what the issues are? I'm genuinely curious and have "no dog in this fight", just never seen anyone speak out against them.

Alternatively, can also support me!
I'm an autistic trans Muslim artist, musician, and game designer.
And I post new art every day.
I'm also charming as hell.
Check out this comic strip and my hip hop single "Arena World"

The major problem is their attitude towards autism. They treat autism as a disease and focus on "curing" autistic people, rather than helping them, and paint autistic people as burdens on their families and friends.

I looked into Autism Speaks and holy shit. It wasn’t until 2014 that the organization came out against the “vaccine causes autism” rhetoric. In fact, a senior executive resigned in 2009 because AS was funding research into the question of vaccines “just to be sure”
