As a person who's struggled and still struggling with autism my whole life, seeing this made me so disgusted. The way autism speaks made this in a point of view of autism is fine but the way they described it was not. If they said something nicer like for an example, "I'm autism, I make people have a hard time socializing with others, please be patient with them." (that's just an example, not all autistics go through the same thing, that's why it's a spectrum since everyone is different)
Autism is NOT harmful. It doesn't harm marriages and it doesn't harm other people. It's a disorder that people struggle with all across the world. Autism is NOT a joke, it needs to be taken seriously and this is a basic example of ableism. Please don't support autism speaks, they're horrible and super harmful to the autism community. Again, autism speaks has never been supportive to ppl with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
I hope no one takes my review on this commercial a bad way.
