That is not and has never been a focus of our organization. In fact, many years ago we stopped referencing ācureā in all our language. Please see here for more from our CEO on the vision and work of Autism Speaks. autismspeaks.org/news/letterā¦
Not actively! Remember that while Autism Speaks is problematic, MANY of their ideas have changed as more research and acceptance of autism have come to light. They are not funding eugenics, and they are open about how they no longer support finding a ācure.ā

"'You donāt seem autistic to me.'
I hear these words often. Sometimes they are said in disbelief or outright mistrust. This skepticism might come from good friends or co-workers in the disability fields."

After hearing this, I was furious. 30 years of self-doubt and frustration washed over me as I remembered the misdiagnosis, the misinformation, and the misunderstandings."

"I would say the biggest obstacles are two fold: First is trusting that your children will be fine on their first day. The nervous energy that accompanies any big milestone like the first day or new school can create anxiety in parents." okt.to/8mexfY
