Do Not Support This Organization

YouTube video with 10 million views where man exploits his autistic son so people donate money to a charity associated with Autism Speaks, which has no autistic board members and has recently partnered with Google to find what genes cause autism in order to ‘cure’ it (eugenics).

This video has 10 million views, is #10 on YouTube’s trending page, has already received $700k+ in donations, and has many popular Youtubers like MrBeast in the comments praising this man.

Aside from being associated with Autism Speaks, Next for Autism also supports ABA therapy and a member of their leadership, Alison Bush, worked for an ABA based center, First Leap, before joining Next for Autism.

Autism Behavioral Analysis forces children to suppress their symptoms of autism, such as forcing them to make eye contact, forcing them to stop stimming, and forcing them to deal with or ignore overstimulation, among other things. Nearly half of all ABA patients have PTSD and are more likely to experience it than people not exposed to ABA.

This is absolutely disgusting, as a father to an autistic boy, this man should know better than to support an organization that harms autistic children and is associated with one that wants to eradicate people like his son from existence, and is partnering with Jimmy Kimmel of all people, someone who has done blackface multiple times in the past. Great spokespeople for Autism, guys! (sarcastic)

Please spread this both by reblogging and sharing on other social media sites, and contact the people involved in the Color the Spectrum event to tell them that this is not OK.

Kind of a funny thing as someone who perused old detrans tumblr and current detrans twitter is that a lot of these detransitioners are formerly "truscum," and not the "trenders" many truscum fought for years saying trenders were faking being trans, would ruin their bodies transitioning and regret it forever, would destroy trans people's often volatile reputation in society at large, and were just taking part in a fashion or fad. Now we get years down the line and many accused of "trending" for various reasons (gender nonconformity being a big one) are happier than ever in final stages of transitioning while former truscum populate internet detrans spaces. I would say it is ironic but I feel that would discounting the fact that it's very sad many of these people have transitioned and.. realized it wasnt what they needed. And during that process projected their feelings onto others, aggressively accusing them of faking being trans, not being trans in the right way, not needing to transition, not meeting oft-arbitrary standards and stereotypes etc etc.. this connection with obsessing over trenders and ending up reidentifying/detransing is clear as day.

“Why are you always so political?”

Well Karen, I would love to be less political, but apparently to you basic human rights are a matter of “politics” so yeah I tend to bring that up a lot.

Abled gays celebrating marriage equality: well we sure do have nowhere to go from here when it comes to marriage rights. Gay rights!

Me, a disabled lesbian trying to get on ssi thinking about how I will not be able to marry my girlfriend if I do because I can't have more than $2000 to my name at a time and they count a spouse's income towards that: wow .. gay rights ...
