Even Google fails to Google Autism Speaks (or show the slightest awareness of the neurodiversity and disability right movements) before partnering with them in eugenics and abuse against a neurominority.

Last time I wrote about Google, they were silencing marginalized voices and disrespecting NAUWU principles (Nothing About Us Without Us). Partnering with Autism Speaks is a move to be expected of such an organization.

If Google had autistic employees advising on this, it wouldn’t have happened. Do they not have a Neurodiversity ERG to consult? Did they fire all the ethicists who can see eugenics when it’s right there in their face?

Autistic People: "Autism Speaks is a hate group."

Allistic People: "Are you sure? Because I've, like, heard of them and stuff. They're really big. Are you sure you're not being dramatic?"

Autistic People: "Yes, we're sure."

Allistic People: "OH WELL NO WAY TO KNOW"

Allistic People: "If Autism Speaks was a hate group, would Google really be supporting their work so publicly?"

Autistic People: "Yes."

Allistic People: "That seems unlikely, my nephew works for Google and he's very smart."https://t.co/ifRUILFIfa

That Twitter thread is full of resources on the problems with Autism Speaks and examples of the rhetoric we autistic people face when warning about Autism Speaks.
