Quite a distinction..... When activists demand that "charitable" organizations (namely Autism Speaks) STOP bad-mouthing the lives of Autistic people and their families to create "action"... a funny thing happens. People pull out the "You must not be Autistic enough" card. I am shocked that people would accuse someone of lying about their Autism

Stacy Nalapraya's chalking of the rainbow infinity design The other day I came across a post where a Mother claims she will never refer to her child as AutisticThat he is more than that stigma and hopefully one day that will change. People say all kinds of things. Over and over, again
