Revoke " Another huge reason why autistics hate Autism Speaks is their film

" Autism Every Day " , in which they film their then-Executive Vice President,

Alison Tepper Singer, saying that when her daughter was first diagnosed,

she seriously contemplated driving her car, with her autistic daughter

inside, off a bridge. Her only reason for not acting on this, according to

her own statements, was that she had a neurotypical daughter waiting for

her at home who needed her. By her own admission, apparently, she would

have preferred to murder her own child than to have an autistic child.

There are parents who actually HAVE murdered their children and claimed

that it was a mercy killing because said child was autistic. For more

information on the minimal sentencing many of these killers got, see

thiswayoflife.org/murder.html. Those are all autistic people who were

killed/murdered as a direct result of the fact that they were autistic.

Statements like those in " Autism Every Day " glorify and seem to excuse

these horrific actions, lending justification to a parent murdering a child

for having a disability. This was originally designed as a form of pity

advertising, but has become a destructive influence in autism politics

since its release. On a side note, if one looks at the page I linked to,

one would find quite a few murder/suicides, which may be in part inspired

by Ms. Singer's remarks. "

This killing has to stop, there have been several in Illinois state in just

the last month. If you don't care about death then lets take a look at

where your money is going, it sure is not going to help Autistics that's

for sure!

" Autism Speaks has released its 2008 990 tax return form, which is the

primary source of the following information regarding its finances.

According to their 990, Autism Speaks has 36 employees who were compensated

over $100,000 this year. The highest paid employee listed, their Chief

Science Officer, Geri Dawson, was compensated $644,274. That's better than

most people make in fairly good positions at Fortune 500 companies!

Shockingly, she makes more than the five people listed in the form as

" highest compensated employees " , who are listed as being compensated less

than $150,000 each by Autism Speaks. Where's the rest of that money that

they didn't report, and how much is it to make them more highly compensated

than someone getting almost $650,000 from a non-profit organization? All

of the " highest compensated employees " are in some sort of administrative

or " relations " position, meaning that they're part of the Autism Speaks

bureaucracy and overhead, except for one who is listed as " Senior Policy

Advisor and Counsel " , which could mean that he's part of their oversized

legal department, known for threatening people who make t-shirts or

parodies to express their displeasure with Autism Speaks (false allegations

of copyright violation were the bulk of those cases). Not including

federated fundraising money, Autism Speaks spent over $1.7 million on

fundraiser expenses, and made only $142,693 from that investment (that's

the net gain, or what's left after that $1.7 million is subtracted from the

total monies gained from the fundraisers). In total, they spent

$17,756,876 on employee salaries, pensions/401ks, benefits, and payroll

taxes. By contrast, their grants to individuals and communities totaled a

paltry $66,670, not even a drop in the bucket compared to their total

reported expenditures. Based on that information, it is clear that Autism

Speaks does very little with their money to help autistic people and their

families, and I haven't even shown all the reputation-damaging financial

information I have on them from their 990. "

That is well over 1.0 MILLION dollars handed to PRIVATE hands. Not to the

public, Not to schools to help create more autism awareness. Just plain

private hands to buy 52 " Plasma TV's and Private jets.

We need to STOP this AT ONCE. Autism Speaks has violated it's right to

retain a 501©3 status let alone has possibly violated its right to

operate as a company!

Autism Speaks is even receiving money from the US Federal Government for

it's so called " Research " along with the United Nations. This is WRONG! -

There is a quote from one of the FOUNDERS of Autism Speaks

that is horrid, her husband is the VP of General Electric!

" We're now playing catch-up as we try to stem the tide and ultimately

eradicate autism for the sake of future generations. If we continue our

current trajectory, we'll get there in my lifetime. "

(EDIT: OCT 5th )

Autism Speaks since inception has been abusing the first amendment (Freedom

of speech) by producing false information and information that promotes

murder and mistreatment of Autistics. Just recently a examiner.com article

releases some horrifying news about murder and autism.
