What is with all the hating towards Autism Speaks?

[Guest guest]

I don't even do the GFCF diet but I would have bought the book if the money

had gone to NAA or Safeminds. organisations that actually do help in the

real world, with nobody on a salary at all

My turn offs were the Park Avenue office and the private jet for Bob

paid for by Autism Speaks funds. Last I heard they were the only

non-profit where the founder had a private jet.

Seriously, does your chief science officer really need to make $700K a

year???

What really gets me is Bob started the organization for his grandson

Christian. Christian is a biomed kid, but AS is spending a fortune on

genetics and has basically written off the vaccine theory. If it's genetics,

then biomed won't help. So he'll support his grandson doing biomed but not

fund research into it??? Oh yeah....didn't one of the companies he was CEO

of manufacture thimerosal?

When you're daughter, the mother of the child you started the organization

for, leaves your organization, there's an issue there. She probably knows

WAY more than she's gone public with.

I will no longer buy anything that supports them or fund raise for them. I

only do so now for our local autism groups where we actually see the money

at work, and the people who run them are volunteers, not people getting

sickening high 6 figure salaries.

Why would they want to reduce the rates? Reduce the rates, then donations

dwindle, then the big wigs have to give up there 6 figure salaries and Park

Avenue offices.

Bob might lose his private jet paid for by AS

Saying they have done a lot " for " autism is pretty accurate. I'm sure

they have done a lot " for " autism because they certainly have not done

anything to truly reduce autism rates.
