Our son has severe autism and requires almost round the clock care. I reached out to AS hoping to have someone counsel us and at least layout a game plan for us to follow, nope, they just send me a email with a collection of links. 90% of the stuff they sent Logan doesnt even qualify for because its up to 3 years old only and even if he did, we would have to pay for it. So why are people donating to these guys? To me, Autism Speaks is one of the greatest scams from a full line of other scams taking advantage of chronic ailments to get donations/money from people with good hearts and intentions. They should be ashamed of themselves and I would advise not to ever donate money to them. Do research on other groups if you really want to help.
