Autism Speaks

Is evil.

Hopefully I don't need to restate that here.

We're heading up on April, and I thought it'd be "fun" to email their corporate sponsors asking them to knock it off and sponsor some other autism-centered organization. One that isn't evil.

They do list corporate partners on their site, but only those which donate 25k or more, and I know there are others. Many times I've had the unpleasant experience of picking up a bag of potato chips or spinach in the store and then realizing the full horror of what I was about to do.

Does anybody know the names of any others, smaller-scale but still bigger, presumably, than individual donors and more likely to pay attention to emails?

Oh, god, that's a terrible thought. But I know how to get people to reconsider donating to AS - point out that they're really, really bad with money and greedy. That doesn't work to convince people to stop doing ABA. I haven't figured that out yet.
