allthecanadianpolitics: Today, the Ontario NDP made a post about World Autism Day, which is all well and good, but they’re supporting a campaign created by Autism Speaks (which is not a good organization). The Federal NDP made a post about Autism awareness as well, but thankfully they didn’t endorse Autism speak’s campaign. Here’s a post on why Autism Speaks is really bad and should not be supported: 4 Simple Reasons I Don’t Support Autism Speaks Anyways, they’ve got already got 2 comments telling them why Autism Speaks is bad, but feel free to reply to this tweet here and help pressure them not to support this campaign or Autism Speaks in the future. This tweet is still up. I just feel that a political party that claims to be progressive/left/inclusive should treat Autistic people better or at least know about Autistic Speaks and the harm that they do. -- source link
