Autism Drama 
Video
April 23, 2007 11:45 am

The fundraising collaterals of autism cure charities should not be viewed by families that are trying to cope with an autistic child.

They are not documentaries.

The scenes of screaming children banging their heads, crying appearing on the edge of mental breakdown, chaotic homes in disarray, and other forms of melodrama are not supposed to be educational.

These materials are not meant to impart accurate and factual information to the families of autistic children, but rather to elicit the pity — and money — of potential donors.

While raising autistic children presents many unique challenges, it’s nowhere near as devastating as autism fundraising collaterals often make it out to be.

    What a great statement. My adult niece was diagnosed with autism at the age of 6, but she is quite high functioning. She has grown into a beautiful young woman and is not what some would stereotypically want you to think.
