Also Shatner claimed this video was faked to make Autism Speaks look bad. It's not. It was genuinely made by Autism Speaks in 2009 and presents Autism as some horrific entity dooming autistic people and their families. It's appalling. I believe Shatner finally accepted it was made by his friends at Autism Speaks but still goes out of his way to attack autistic people who pointed it out to him. #actuallyautistic #AutismAcceptance #AutismAcceptanceMonth #lightitupred

Please do NOT #lightitupblue.
Instead please #lightitupred or #lightitupgold instead.

#AutismAcceptance NOT #AutismAwareness We know you're aware of us. We want to be accepted, not bullied.

Autism Speaks is a trash organisation that, for years, treated autism as a 'disease' to be 'cured'

It's loudest spokesperon, William 'Captain Kirk' Shatner openly attacks autistic people who try to educate him about Autism Speaks and autism itself. His followers often attack us too.
