Whether or not Alpha Xi Delta views it as a disease, the issue is whether AS does...
Help yes. And that's 4% of what they do. Far more goes into making sure that more autistic people aren't born and that they are "cured".

And although the thread has turned to the discussion of AS, it has been pointed out that that hasn't been shown to be the reason that they are leaving.
