Neurodiversity advocates have accused Plank of betraying Wrong Planet's goal for autism acceptance by accepting money from Autism Speaks for this web series. The show is hosted by Alex Plank and Jack Robison, the son of author John Elder Robison. Sponsors of this web series include Autism Speaks. In 2010, Wrong Planet created a television show about autism called Autism Talk TV. Alex Plank, representing the site, testified at the Health and Human Services's Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee. In 2008, Wrong Planet began getting involved in autism self-advocacy, with the goal intended to further the rights of autistic individuals living in the United States. Wrong Planet was covered in a Dateline NBC report on the incident. In 2007, a man who was accused of murdering his dermatologist posted on the site while eluding the police. In 2006, Alex Plank was sued by the victims of a 19-year-old member of the site, William Freund, who shot two people (and himself) in Aliso Viejo, California, after openly telling others on the site that he planned to do so.
