I agree with Mary M. and applaud Ms. Alison Tepper Singer’s decision to resign. Now is the time to create new ways to improve services for individuals with autism, pure and simple.

It is about time that Alison Tepper Singer left Autism Speaks. How can anyone be against vaccine safety studies?

Bravo to Alison Tepper Singer. I support her stance on funding research into vaccines as a cause of Autism (i.e. a waste of time and money) and her principled actions in resigning from an organization whose executives do not agree with her beliefs. I am the mother of a young adult who is living with Autism and I have never felt that Autism Speaks speaks for me.
