If you haven’t looked into this you really should. Autism Speaks is very much a harm in the world.

    Very helpful article. I recommend reading it. Here is the TLDR premise.

    Rather than focusing on raising awareness and advocating for the acceptance of autism in society, Autism Speaks treats it like a disease that needs to be cured or eradicated. Such a mindset increases the stigma and discrimination against people with autism as it presents the idea that there is something inherently wrong with them that needs to be fixed.
