The Confusing Dynamics of the Autism Community

...or to put it blunty, why some on the spectrum either refuse to acknowledge the existence of Autism Speaks OR will do anything to destroy them. Take this tweet for instance:

We know - you just want to help. But #LIUB is NOT helping. Instead, try @autselfadvocacy or @Autism_Women!

That's what I call "autism arrogance". And I'd like to believe that us autistics are a little bit better than that; that we're above name calling. It's that militarism that upsets me. True, Autism Speaks does the opposite of what they are supposed to do. But they're a powerful organization, and that's that. You can't fix some behaviors

Any radicalism bothers me, whether it be political, societal or any. We already live in a world with enough hatred. I call on all autism groups to stop this senseless side-taking and hatred towards on another.
