A lot of people are against autism speaks because they're anti-vax, say that autistic kids are burdens to their families, say that if your kid is autistic before they're born then they should be aborted and have very few or no autistic employees. And very few donations actually go into helping families with autistic members, and instead most money goes into 'curing' autism (although this is impossible because autism is literally the way the brain is wired).
