Silence about Katherine McCarron
The day after autism mother Dr. Karen McCarron entered a plea of “not guilty” regarding the killing of her three-year-old autistic daughter, Katherine, Autism Speaks (”the largest single organization devoted to autism in the nation”) notes these events as being “In the News”:
- Sen. Hillary Clinton speaking at the Westchester/Fairfield Walk for Autism Research (watch the video)
- The first annual Autism Speaks golf classic
- TiVo Features Autism Awareness Campaign
But still no reference to the death of Katherine McCarron.
She will not be forgotten here.

“Autism Speaks” is (so far) failing to speak for me or my family. I hope that changes.

I do, too. They might “speak” but “listening” seems far off.

Hi Kristina….
Re: the listening still being far off.
There is a reason for that.
They don’t want to listen. If they did, they’d have done so by now… they’ve had all the chances in the world. I think it’s fairly safe to assume that they do not want to listen.
Some advocacy organisation, eh?
