This is a super short explanation of some of the problems that people have with Autism Speaks as an advocacy organization: http://www.examiner.com/article/why-autistic-people-don-t-like-autism-speaks. I think that you will encounter some of these complexities in more depth in Dr. Broderick's article on Autism as enemy.
Also, it is worth checking out Autism Speaks vs. the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, just to get a sense of how self advocacy and agency can work within the disability rights movement.
