See https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2021/08/10645352/covid-19-and-the-pandemic-of-ableist-media andThe TL;DR version is that Autism Speaks doesn't listen to or value actually autistic people. They have put out extremely harmful and dangerous misinformation and "awareness" campaigns, and their overall priorities are still cure-focused, which means they are doing very little to benefit actually autistic people who are around right now. https://www.autistichoya.com/p/blog-page_19.html for more information on autism speaks)
