you don’t have to publish this but for the record there’s been rumours about Atypical having ties to Autism Speaks since the beginning but the official Atypical Twitter directly responded to someone in 2017 saying that they did not consult with Autism Speaks for the show. the tweet is still viewable, and was recently retweeted by someone i follow which is why i was reminded of it. so there’s that to also add to the mix i guess.

Well, I’d hoped that by the time I got to this batch of asks I’d have cycled back around to giffing more Atypical but I’m not even close. I’ll just answer them anyway. 😮

Okay, despite how quickly I published the first ask about them, I didn’t really see any urgency in posting this because while it does clarify this one thing, that they’re not funded by nor did they consult with Autism Speaks as of 2017, they’re still heartily endorsed by them and there’s still criticism of their rep.

But it is worth at least correcting that point:
