Bus Advertisement Outrages Autism Community

Seattle Children's Hospital has pulled a bus ad after outrage from the autistic community in Seattle. The ad features a young boy with text next to him that reads "Let's wipe out cancer, diabetes and autism in his lifetime." One person who lives with autism says that he feels like you can't talk about autism without talking about the people that it affects. He says that it isn't a faceless disease or an illness, but rather a disability.
