Please not them. I know they’re the biggest and best known but they’re not actually GOOD.

How about you don't support an organization that wants to exterminate a group of people from existence. Autism Speaks does not help autistic people.

You're welcome! Did you see my other reply? There's a lot of information in this: thecaffeinatedautistic.wordp…

Even if there weren't a ton of #ActuallyAutistic people telling you that Autism Speaks is no good, Charity Navigator says the same. charitynavigator.org/index.c…

Pokemon Go (and Ingress before it) have been very important to me in being able to get out of the house and do something that feels like doing something and seems somewhat doable with my disabilities. And supporting autism speaks is saying people like me shouldn't exist.

what's fun is that in their recent reports, they've combined family services with their awareness campaigns, to hide how little actually goes to communities and make it seem they help more than they do

Again, I am autistic. I have played Ingress, I play Pokemon Go. Please, Niantic, I know a huge amount of other autistic trainers. Please reconsider. thecaffeinatedautistic.wordp…

In fact, were you aware that the vast majority of funds raised at Autism Speaks walks never comes back to the communities they are donated from? And that the majority of the AS budget goes towards advertising not supports, services or research?
Boycott retweeted
As for SARRC, it mainly supports intensive behaviour therapy for autism, which is neurological. Current studies are showing that autistic people have high rates of PTSD and it's being linked to exactly that kind of therapy. I urge Niantic to reconsider this event

Went through every comment on this tweet - only about twelve people DIDN'T talk about how horrible A$ is. It's an awful company, and it'd be great if you read these and listened to your fans

Autism Speaks doesn't even get a passing grade as a charity, even if you're ignorant of the harm done by spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt about #ActuallyAutistic people. charitynavigator.org/index.c…
