So there's a media furor about a huge charity that has an agenda to push

and pays executive salaries in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But it isn't Autism $peaks! (It's Susan G. Komen for the Cure, of course. )

Now might be the time to bring some of that media spotlight onto A$ (or as I call it, "Neurotypicals Speak for Autism&quot .

Oh, wait ... it was the Mormon church, and it was Prop H8 that they funded ...

I wonder why they didn't get the attack machine on them ...
