Right now, on Twitter, William Shatner is aggressively blocking autistics and autistic allies who try and politely explain why Autism Speaks is bad.
In other words, right now, YOU TOO can get yourself blocked by none other than William Shatner!
Support an autistic, get yourself blocked! Tweet @WilliamShatner today!
No. Really. This is happening. Right now. On Twitter.
Haha I did that the other day
Man, why does he have to do this :/

since it’s april, please don’t support autism speaks, an organization that dehumanizes and speaks over autistic people. consider supporting asan or the autistic women’s network instead, which are autistic-run and fight anti-autistic ableism instead of promoting it.

Reblogging because I’ve always wondered who to support instead of AS.
To every friend of mine who reblogs this, thank you. It means I can trust you. <3
No no no no! I’m actually disgusted that this filth ended up on my dash.
How could the staff seriously support this disgusting organization?
As a person with Autism myself, I’m completely appalled that this would even show up on this website. Seeing as a huge chunk of us here are also under the spectrum.Why Autism Speaks is Bad.
- A video they made on autism: Content Warning
- An article by The Autism Woman’s Network.
- A past employee of Autism Speaks.
- Commercial for ‘I Am Autism.’
“I am autism…I know where you live…I work faster than pediatric AIDS, cancer, and diabetes combined…I will make sure your marriage fails.”- Where Autism Speaks funds go.
Where Should You Donate?
- Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN)
- Autism National Committee
- Autism Network International
- Autism Woman’s Network
- TASH
- ADAPT
In general, please remember the golden rule of who to support.
NOTHING ABOUT US, WITHOUT US.
Autism Speaks Accepts Support From Neo-Nazi Group
(Link is via Do Not Link)
Autism Speaks is accepting support from Soldiers of Odin, a white supremacist vigilante group, and happily featuring their group portrait on their website asking for $ to fund their shitty autistic-abusing organisation. As A$ are flat-out eugenicists and the organisation’s leadership is in bed with Trump, I for one am very unfucking surprised that they’re chill with their money-making events being full of actual Nazis. So much for their new ‘progressive’ mission statement. Do not trust or support A$.
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I already hated them so much but THIS IS LIKE RIDICULOUS
AS has always wanted the extermination of autistic ppl so this is less of a surprise than you’d think
Ever wonder why so many #actuallyautistic people have a problem with Autism $peaks? This is why. #boycottautismspeaks #walkinred #autismacceptance #autismawareness #asd #autismspeaks
Signs for the protest at the Chicago Autism Speaks Walk tomorrow.
April is Autism Awareness Month, launched by Autism Speaks, an organization masquerading as a charity that has harmed autistic people and spread misinformation about autism for the last 10 years. Instead of supporting Autism Speaks and their campaigns, take some time out of April 2016 to educate yourself on why you shouldn’t support Autism Speaks and spread the word.
