I do acknowledge that the Autism Speaks uses a blue puzzle piece, but I'm also aware they're not a good organization at all. They think it's something that's "fixable" with something like eugenics. Like, what the heck?

That being said, there are better organizations that help out people who are actually autistic like I am. ASAN is one of those organzations. Below I have also provided a link regarding autism acceptance.

I hope this thread puts into perspective what people like me actually deal with. Autism is something that doesn't make anyone less of a person. People like me should be valued and embraced for who we are
