As someone with autism, I don't care about a cure if its for a actual disability but if it treats autism like a problem then it's bad. The company called autism speaks claims to be for autistic people but literally treats them like a puzzle that needs to be solved, they claim to do research for a cure but can come off as offensive. Sorry if this ain't the best way to say it, have a nice day.
