Greg, I've read a lot about Autism Speaks hate. It isn't for me.
I appreciate their easy reference site. The studies they fund have helped and been well targeted.
I really empathize with the high functioning who are frustrated with "Cure culture" but on the whole, Autism Speaks has been really valuable to me.
Also, Tone it down taupe is a cool idea for hypersensitive ASD people, but wholly unhelpful to us. Lily NEEDS bright colours and loud noises.
Anyone else watched Temple? Claire Danes is great.
