Autism Speaks, a national charity that advocates research on autism and promotes public awareness of the brain disorder, is suing a teenager with
Asperger’s syndrome for running a website for other kids with autism.
I’m tempted to let my forehead do the rest of the typing.
Kelly Becker’s profile on aspiesforfreedom.com, a message board for autistic people and their families, says she’s 14 years old, male-to-female transgender, and is into pizza, computers, dancing, and music.
She shut down her website, ntspeaks.org, which was a parody of Autism Speaks’s own site, after being sued last week for $90,000 for copyright infringement, lost revenue, and drawing away 1 million of the charity’s supporters.
