From Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN):As some of you already know, recently the British Charity Action for Children launched an offensive ad campaign portraying the autism spectrum as a monster that controls the life of a child (pictured). In the past our community has responded to such advertising by mobilizing with one voice to communicate our concern and outrage. This time should be no different.
To support the autistic community of Britain, we have launched an action alert that allows you to quickly and easily register your displeasure with Action for Children, their primary Parliamentary supporter and the British Fundraising Standards Board. To send a protest letter, go here.
You can view the Action for Children UK ad called "Dan's Story" on YouTube.
