  • Episode 22 - Be Kind Don't Rewind SCRIPT
    Episode 22 - Be Kind Don't Rewind SCRIPT Hello, and welcome once again to Neurologic. I'm your host Leo Jones. Yesterday, on February 11th, Autism Speaks - defined as an autism charity organization - launched their re-introduction, 15-year anniversary celebration and “Year of Kindness” campaign, which includes a new logo, ‘profile stories’ of selected autistics, links to revisions in the organization, a ‘for the record’ page, and of course, information regarding their “Year of Kindness”. Is this the change we've been fighting for? Is Autism Speaks finally, after all these years, listening and [radically] changing? Will the wounds they inflicted be properly treated with recompense, atonement, and apology? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For those of you who may be unaware, or have a very limited grasp of the history of Autism Speaks, allow me to give you a cursory understanding of why this organization has been repeatedly criticized, scrutinized, denounced and condemned by autistics and autistic-led communities. Content warning: the following language and descriptions may be traumatic for some, and may contain descriptions of violence, abuse and other disturbing actions or events. A lot of the following is from In The Loop About Neurodiversity, as well as several other sources which are cited in the PDF copy of the script for this episode. (https://intheloopaboutneurodiversity.wordpress.com/2019/09/13/the-ableist-history-of-autism-speaks/) [Italic paragraphs adapted From In The Loop About Neurodiversity] Autism Speaks was founded in 2005 by Bob Wright and his wife, Suzanne Wright, grandparents of an autistic child named Christian. Bob Wright was the vice chairman of General Electric as well as CEO and chairman of NBC Universal from 2001 to 2007.
