Thread 'Confused about Autism Speaks as a hate group'

What Is Asperger Syndrome? | Autism Speaks
I came across a link to autism speaks for aspergers and it lists the strengths on the Autism Speaks website and doesn't even mention ABA therapy. For generic autism there's a quote saying "
If you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism.
"

Where on the Autism Speaks website does it list hate towards us?

Thread 'Question about Autism Speaks'

Firstly I think this description from their website is kind of amusing “Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences. We now know that there is not one autism but many types, caused by different combinations of genetic and environmental influences.”

So my first question is, since when is autism a noun? My other question is why does this organization still exist and what can we do to try and get rid of it?

Autism Speaks Unveils New Scientific Agenda

 
So basically is no one excepting my insurance for autism or neurology diagnosis, my question is if its worth to spend over $4000 for that, I'm a successful businessman, functioning in life, going through alot of misunderstanding in my personal life and with not healthy boundaries with others but I'm learning how to deal with those, I would say that 95% of my overall life is not infected of it, I'm currently in trauma therapy and doing a bit of sexual theropy its not easy but things are getting slowly calm, I'm sure if I would took a neurological diagnosis would I be able to do much better but idk if I should spend that money or not
