I help with the St. Louis chapter of Autism Speaks and I can honestly tell you that there is nothing hypocritical about Autism Speaks, you violated a copy right law. Just get a patent on your shirt and then wear it all you want. And about speaking for those who have autism, my brother has autism, and really can not speak for himself. He can communicate, and few understand him. It is entirely up to our family and other people who know my brother well, to help him communicate with people that he does not know. I feel there is absolutely nothing wrong with people trying to help other people. This charity does not try to change anyone. I feel you are sadly misinformed.

I have mild Autism and agree with you that people who dont should not speak for those who do. Im proud of it because it is part of me and has brought me into contact with people I would not have met otherwise. Autisum Speaks is hypocritical to say it speaks for Autistics when there are none in the organisation! Autistics should be accepted for who they are without people trying to change them to thier idea of normal or analyze them. I think you should keep wearing and making your t-shirt. Everyone has the right to freedom of speech, including you and other Autistics. Go for it! Great blog. I have mild Autism and agree with you that people who dont should not speak for those who do.

He then followed with, "I do want money to be raised to support the families of people with Autism." This young boy, not more than 10 years old, said something very important : Autism Advocacy is important, whether it is to educate the public, medical personnel, or law enforcement, or to encourage employment and insurance reform, and, yes, even researching cures. The E-Mail posted in the article does not constitute a legal attack from anyone, just Zazzle enforcing its own Terms of Agreement. Those procedures protect everyone who contributes to the site, including Aspieweb. Was something else sent that we don't see here? As for Autism Speaks, it is a very small, young organization, so even if no-one on staff is on the Spectrum, it would hardly be surprising; give it a few years to grow and mature, and allow those on staff who have affected family members contribute to its growth. Now, if Autism Speaks truly has done something wrong, as someone who is directly affected by ASD, I would very much like to know what that is; I am listening.

Personally, I would begin to question "Autism Speaks" as to why they feel they are speaking for you personally and representing themselves as speaking for the entire autistic population. They are perhaps working under the assumption they are representing the entire autistic community ..... Ignorance should always be forgiven. Should you make them aware of how you feel and should they continue on in their present venue, then I would litigate until the sun doesn't shine!
