Disgusting bunch of phonies!, selling quack cures to parents of autistic children who have no choice but to submit to this inhumane treatment. We are autistic adults that are protesting this. There is no cure for the violence I would feel if any of you stinking quacks tried to force this treatment on me or mine!

Promoting the traveling snake oil salesman is one thing, but promoting the snake oil salesman who knowingly sells harmful product to children with disabilities is supporting assault upon a disabled child or adult. "Alternative" medicine is NOT science: "I understand that medicine is a business and that alternative medicine is a business; but part of the difference in medicine is that we’re supposed to have professional norms, professional values, and professional commitments. If you keep telling people it’s just a marketplace and that they’re just clients and that autonomy of the patient is what must be served to make them happy customers, they you have a collapse of professionalism in the face of consumer demand." – Art Caplan

Not only are these products dangerous; promoting a cure for autism is extremely ableist and xenophobic. We don't need a cure; we need neurotypicals to start listening to us and stop mistreating us.

This is a barbaric practise and needs to be outlawed. I will do all I can to make sure nobody I know does business with a place that promotes endangering autistic children's lives just to make a buck. These people should not be allowed to have a conference anywhere.

This hotel can not be expected to behave as a moral individual. It is a capitalist corporate entity, which has as its sole reason for existence profit, not unlike the quacks it allows to use its premises as a market place. It has to be hit in the pocket. The more publicity of its behaviour and that of the quacks the better. If possible a protest on the ground at the hotel might cost it in terms of adverse client reactions. If possible protests should not just take place at the time of the conference, but well in advance and repeatedly, with press releases to the media explaining.

I am an autistic adult and parent and I wish the catastrophisation and abuse of the neurodivergent to be stopped. We are not guinea pigs but real, actual people who are entitled to be treated as such and accepted as such and not subjected or allowed to be subject to untested, barbaric pseudo science and charlatanry.

No one would want to be known by millions as the kiddy torture hotel. Surely.
