Jerry Seinfeld, a supporter of Autism Speaks was recently confronted by an Autistic Person outside a Autism Speaks fund raising event. It was caught on video. Jerry Seinfeld seems to be blowing off the person with Aspergers Syndrome who is asking him not to support Autism Speaks. The person recording the video repeatedly tries to tell Jerry Seinfeld that Autism Speaks is not supported by people with Autism, and that they do in fact stigmatize us. I have to say I’m not surprised by Jerry Seinfeld’s response to this, but it still does upset me however.
How do you think Seinfeld should be confronted about supporting Autism Speaks?

I’ll bet he got paid for that performance. That’s Autism Speaks for you.
Get lost, Best (bother – the moderation queue must only hold for so long. Can you do something about that, Zach?)
why bother when you manage to be the dumbest all the time?
