Cure Autism Now Foundation

In the opposite camp stand organizations such as the National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR), founded in 1994, and the Cure Autism Now Foundation (CAN). The latter was created in 1995 by the parents of an autistic child and brings together families, medical doctors, and scientists to support biomedical research and education. NAAR and CAN have now merged with Autism Speaks. CAN is a major target for autism movement activists, who accuse it of demonizing autistics and frightening their families, promoting narrow viewpoints on the disorder, and neglecting autistic adults’ life experiences.
