Yesterday, John Elder Robison resigned from his positions on the Science and Treatment Boards with Autism Speaks. I offer condolences that he had to abandon his efforts to steer its discussions of science, but I think his action was correct. There is simply no room in Autism Speaks ideology for any other view of autistic people than as stolen, soulless husks who are a burden to their families and society. This organization depicts life with an autistic person as unrelenting grimness and despair. Its messages are hate speech, pure and simple. jerobison.blogspot/2013/11/i-resign-my-roles-at-autism-speaks.html
