From DisabilityScoops: Groups Outraged Over Video Released by Autism Speaks
The video in question is in the post. What do you think? Personally, I found the first half of the video pretty stigmatizing/fear-based and the comments kinda rage inducing (couldn't help but notice it was almost all parents speaking for their children... almost no one with autism).
ETA: Autism Speaks has apparently pulled the video due to controversy and a pretty good deconstruction of the claims the video makes, from a woman with Autism, here.
