I was having a pretty damn good day, then Autism Speaks had to go and piss me off. Watch how they did it.
Autism Speaks came out with a new advertising campaign, a new video about 3 minutes long that in a very terrifying tone declares me the enemy or marriages, communities, and happiness.
I have to say this is some pretty good fear mongering done by Autism Speaks. Apparently I destroy people, destroy marriages, destroy communities. This tone of this video in the beginning reminds me a lot of the tone of a video released about a year ago:
I have to admit. I am scared of Autism Speaks, I am pissed at Autism Speaks. Is this okay?

I think that video is down right ignorant as autistic people can have a life my son is autistic and he is one of five children and the other kids support him when he needs it as do i but we also give him his sense of independence when he wants it and we encourage him to try things even if he thinks he cant do it autism isnt about destruction of things its about teaching a special child how to live in a way that is different so if that is destruction i feel sorry for people who think so I SEE MY SON AS A SPECIAL GIFT FROM HEAVEN AND I WILL ENCOURAGE AND ENABLE HIM IN EVERY STEP OF HIS LIFE THROUGH SCHOOL,LOVE,MARRIAGE,HIS CHILDREN WHEN THAT TIME COMES AUTISM ISNT ABOUT DESTRUCTION IT IS ABOUT LEARNING DIFFERENTLY

Hi Zach, haven’t been on in a long while, but when this came across my desk at work, I came very close to meltdown! I happen to be one of those who believe that there is not a d*^& thing wrong with me!
I am different, that is all, and so is my well beloved significant other! Both of us are AS, and proud of it! We get advantages that no one ever talks about, or even mentions in passing in mainstream! And let me tell you, the benefits have by far outweighed the negatives when it comes to me.
I have been through hell, have stared into the eyes of the devil and lived to tell the tale, I am strong, I am smart, I have impeccable judgement due to my AS allowing me to be objectionable instead of making decisions based off emotions.
Most importantly, my AS is a part of me, something that I highly value and view as a gift of the Almighty that I thank Him for daily. And NOONE tells me who I am, especially not a self righteous, bigoted, close minded group by the name of AUTISM SPEAKS!!
Because autism does indeed speak, through those who have it, and they sure as hell aren’t listening!
Rant now over!
Do forgive me for going a little overboard, but I won’t allow anyone to tell me who they think I should be!
Now I must read my bible a little to calm myself! lol.
