As harmful autism disinformation campaigns go, grievance parents‘ attempt to break off “ #profoundAutism” as a separate diagnosis via smearing #neurodiversity advocates is notable—mostly for its spitefulness. Select observations by @embergreen.bsky.social: thinkingautismguide.com/2026/03/debu... 1/

"I want to talk about and to parents. Parents of autistic kids who might be getting manipulated by very persuasive arguments into fearing and distrusting a movement [ #neurodiversity] which is actually there to help." 2/

"I was looking into a report that RFK Jr. was citing, and I noticed this one study that he claims supports his argument—and I was surprised to see that one of the listed authors was Alison Singer. Alison Singer of course, of Autism Every Day fame." CN: filicide youtu.be/C7NTfZzS9b8?... 3/

"Alison gained a lot of praise for not being anti-vax & for quitting Autism Speaks for pursuing research to that end. 'A voice for science,' she was called. By Nature no less. (To be clear, Alison is not a scientist—nor does she have a background in science. Her qualification is business admin.)" 5/

"If you’ve heard of Alison it might be because you’ve seen a short film called Autism Every Day in which she discusses when she felt desperate enough to drive her car off a bridge with herself and her autistic daughter inside it. I’ve spoken about this before because it upsets me a great deal." 6/

"Alison has responded to the criticism saying that if she made the film again, she would try to be clearer in what she meant saying, 'I certainly did not mean to offend anyone or suggest that Jodie’s life or anyone else’s was not valued.'” 7/
