Like Autism Live on Facebook at http://facebook.com/autismlive Matt Asner from Autism Speaks sets the record straight on the role Autism Speaks played in Disney's changed Guest Assistance Pass policy. Disney Theme Parks recently announced that it will be changing its current Guest Assistance Pass on Oct. 9th. In a press release Disney stated they have consulted with many groups in deciding its new policy but specifically named on Autism Speaks. A fire storm of speculation and controversy ensued. For the first time an Autism Speaks official responds to the criticism. Autism Live is a production of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD), headquartered in Tarzana, California, and with offices throughout, the United States and around the globe.
