What’s that comprehensive page someone has on why Autism Speaks sucks?

I’ve got someone in my ask box asking questions, and my brain is too scattered to give them all the answers.

Speaking of all this, as usual I wish people were putting this in the context of history:  Autism Resource Konnection/“Hear Their Silence”, ASA, CAN, AGRE, and all the other organizations that have come and gone over the years.  Mind you the ASA looks downright tame these days compared to what exists now, but it’s done its share of damage in its day.  And these days people half the time don’t even realize that Aut$pks didn’t originate – or even close – the puzzle symbol.

I’m seriously not trying to sound all “Back in my day…” but so much history is being forgotten in favor of the present.

Anyway I’d be grateful even for just the present comprehensive post on why Aut$pks sucks, and I’ll relay the post to the person in my askbox.
