Should we stop supporting them with our eyes for taking sponsorships from shady companies?

Edit: I took my first step and unsubscribed from the channel and I will continue to withhold my viewership to those that don’t take better care of the viewers.

Likely doesn’t matter, but I’m on a roll of not giving my money to companies that are immoral so why not do the same with my eyes.

From a diagnosis and classification, Autism = Asperger's.

From a lived experience, Autism != Asperger's.

The latter has been validated by every expert I have talked over the years from doctors to therapists to education.

Ok. Interesting. I'll take your word at it.

Please don't but pay attention to your support group as you move forward. You will learn there are a lot of people that genuinely care about your child and their future. The irony of course is the vast majority of these people make little to no money and are doing what they do because they love it.
