Exmother, as part of her last wishes, encouraged people to donate to Autism Speaks in her name. I'm guessing that she got the idea from her experience with my son, which is laudable.

The problem is that Autism Speaks is a problematic organization. Their mission statement treats autism as a disease to be cured and eradicated (that word again), not a natural variation that society needs to accommodate.

Not even death could stop Exmother from doing something rotten. I'll be talking with my son about this, natch, over dinner tomorrow. He may be aware of everything I just wrote here and then some, or he might not.
