(Quoted from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Lie" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia article</a>)<br />This is why Autism Speaks has so much support. Because people were already anti-autism before they even started and that set the stage perfectly for their lies. The lies were repeated for over 40 years before the start of Autism Speaks and they cemented them by repeating them some more. But they used tools such as videos, celebrity supporters, and the Internet to give the lies more power.TheWiredOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603161451462354948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967073850231837312.post-91353970939347692292009-10-06T21:56:04.509-04:002009-10-06T21:56:04.509-04:00Here's an ABA center looking for money and giv...Here's an ABA center looking for money and giving a big round of support to this vile organization.

Next time, you might want to consider quotations, like "" to keep me and other from being confused.<br /><br />I am a little puzzled about it too, but I think it relates to the way in which the diagnosis was delivered, and the information that they received upon gaining the diagnosis. First impressions, you know?<br /><br />Then I think some organizations pick up on those impressions and take them to the extreme, thus creating and enforcing the negative stigma and stereotypes and increasing parents' fear. Then, the organizations prey upon misinformed parents. <br /><br />It's sad and pathetic, but it says a lot about people, organizations and society. But I think we can make a difference to change that, so that people will be better informed.Corina Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04026707230826401476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967073850231837312.post-72889415474948295322009-10-02T11:51:13.551-04:002009-10-02T11:51:13.551-04:00http://autismville.blogspot.com/
This is the blog...http://autismville.blogspot.com/<br /><br />This is the blog I was speaking of. I will forever remain puzzled why parents like this think that Autism Speaks does anything for the kids when their main goal is to create controversy. Autism Speaks' other main goal is to line their own pockets with money and they recruit rich parents like this to try and brainwash unsuspecting people.

The lies never end with that organization!<br /><br /><br /><br />I hope that somehow you can share my vision for kids like Jack. They need and deserve solutions. Autism Speaks, through difficult economic times, continues to lead the charge in scientific research, global awareness, advocacy and family services for autism. Their work must continue. It just has to.<br /><br />Team Jack Attack will be walking once again at this year’s Greater Boston Walk Now for Autism Speaks. We hope to raise $20,000, a lofty goal. But if all of our family and friends would chip in just what they can, I believe we can make it.<br /><br />To make a donation, please visit our team page at http://www.walknowforautism.org/greaterboston/teamjackattack.<br /><br />You can join our team, or just make a donation on my personal donation page.
