DO NOT EVER GIVE MONEY TO AUTISM SPEAKS!!!!Thanks Remi, I have 2 grandsons with Autism.........but the reason for this post is so everyone can add genuine charities to be considered . the local shelters in my area pocket the money and it does not go on the needy. hence no recommendation from me on them
Coming from someone who is in fact autistic - DO NOT SUPPORT THEM.. EVER..
They've literally been the cause of MANY deaths of autistic kids and do not support people who have autism. They have openly supported a mother who /drowned her own children because they had autism/ because she had 'such a hard life' dealing with the pressure of having autistic children. They support /electrocuting/ kids every time they have a tick or speak out of turn, to prevent them from having typical autistic responses to life in general - including ones that don't do any harm; like not looking directly into someone's eyes when speaking to them.
Please remove them from the list and do not give them any money.

there are millions of other sites explaining why autism speaks is a horrible group - do not support.
Some of those links have alternative autism charities you could support instead!
http://greatnonprofits.org/ Is a helpful site by the way that has numerous charities listed on the site with reviews on how the charities work, handle things and respond to people written by people and not by the charity themselves. It might be good to look up any charity ideas before donating to them on here so we can get a good idea on who we are donating to!
