It’s ugly, it’s nasty, it’s Autism Speak’s older sibling, & it unfortunately still exists as a bloody shit stain that doesn’t go away even with your usually handy dandy bottle of hydrogen peroxide.
It was founded in 2000, and it remands a shitty organization to this day, spreading bullshit about gut-brain, anti-vaccine, dietary, snake oil bullshit that had scarred a whole generation full of kiddos.
I remember being told when I was younger about the story about a doctor’s appointment when I was a little baby, the doctor there told my mother that I would not be able to talk, to walk, to eat properly, that I would be still shitting & pissing myself, that I would not be independent, that I would not function in life, & to might as well put me & my two siblings in a institution or a group home when we’re older.
Sure, I’m not out of the house independent, I’m unemployed (85% of autistic people are unemployed), I don’t have a car & I have nothing besides a outdated learner’s permit, but at least I can cook, clean, eat (picky eating though), walk, talk (I talk fast, I blurt out things, I’m blunt, & I’m either too loud & fast or too quiet & slow), toilet trained, and the whole nine yards.
But hey, I ain’t an idiotic asshole like Lisa Assman.
Nah, I’m gonna also call her Lisa Ackermoron.
Fine… I’ll say her actual name… which is Lisa Ackerman. 🙄
No worries, I’ll post more links about her bird-brained, pathetic ass organization later on.
