Autism Speaks has thrice expressed the sentiment that autistic

children should be drown. It is believed that many of the recent

drowning deaths are due to the Autism Every Day video put out by

Autism Speaks. (See below.)

We urge and Noble to abandoned their affiliation with Autism

Speaks and to sign the following petition:

http://www.autism-hub.co.uk/autism-speaks-dont-speak-for-me/index.php

And join the 1146 people and organizations that have signed on so far.

1) Teper Singer, Vice President of Communications of Autism

Speaks said in a video:

" I remember that was a scary moment for me when I realized I had sat

in the car for about 15 minutes and actually contemplated putting

Jody in the car and driving off the Washington Bridge. That

would be preferable to having to put her in one of these schools. "

The mother in question made this statement whilst her autistic

daughter was in the room with her. She further added that the only

reason she didn't kill her autistic child and herself was the

thought of her non-disabled daughter.

2) Producer of the video Producer Thierry (who has since

admitted to faking the degree of autism in the autistic in the video

called this section 'gutsy and courageous' and

added that:

" If most mothers of autistic children look hard enough within

themselves they will find that they have played out a similar

scenario in their minds. If this is not your reality, then God bless

you. "

The scenario she speaks of is drowning their autistic child(ren).

Slatkin is a board member of Autism Speaks:

Some remarks by Harry and Slatkin, parents of , who is

autistic, stood out to me:

" At times, the pain has become almost unbearable. In a documentary

entitled Autism: True Lives, Harry describes the very large pond

next to their house in the Hamptons. We put locks on all the

doors leading outside because we didn't want possibly going

into the pond. But there were times when he stops, then talks through

his tears you hoped he did, because you wouldn't want him to suffer

like this all his life. "

" Everyone urged the Slatkins to cut this from the documentary,

says, but they left it in. Since then, we've spoken to many families

who say, We all share that hidden, dark thought. "
