"Autism Speaks" pulls a Scientology
Because the National Autistic Society in the UK frowns upon Autism Speaks, the UK division of Autism Speaks has set themselves up under a new name: Autistica raises money for biomedical research into autism and autism spectrum disorders
... United Churches of Florida, anyone? |

Re: "Autism Speaks" pulls a Scientology
On the bright side, they're working to help fight a real disorder.
From what I've heard they produce real results and do actual good rather than scam everyone for every penny they're worth, then walk 'em to a loan shark and make them take out more money, etc...

Re: "Autism Speaks" pulls a Scientology
Currently trying to find what research they have funded in the past.
How much was given to research projects. How much was not given or retained. How much will be given and for what type of research. http://www.autistica.org.uk/research/strategy.pdf Within this document there is no figures relating to how much the charity itself has given at this point. It may be a positive thing - unsure at this time in respect to MRC redirected funding. Why have 2 charities? when the NAS is already doing stuff. The National Autistic Society - Our structure That's more "admin" expense of donations for both entities instead of one. Greebly Project Sausagelulz - You can make it happen!

Quote:
Jenny McCarthy claims to have "cured" her son of autism by putting him on a certain kind of diet. They're basically like the PETA of autism awareness. |
