I got dragged to these events a lot because my ex-wife is a BCBA. Full of really sad, distressed-looking parents dumping thousands on pseudoscience that dominates all the booths at events like Walk for Autism. Magnet healing, chelation, crystals, weird chiropractor machines that only the controller could interpret. My personal favorite were the extremely heavy weight jackets (up to 70 pounds, I think?) meant to exhaust your child when they're having a fit but in reality will just make them extremely fit once puberty begins.

Even if the antivax assholes were right, they think their children would be better off dead than autistic, so gently caress 'em.

This. I used to see this every day. It was always a good day when I got to spend time talking to the One Cool Parent who actually enjoyed life and wasn't dead on the inside.
