Ooooh. An Autism group which actually seems to have a clue! Autism National Committee, which describes itself as 'the only autism advocacy organization dedicated to "Social Justice for All Citizens with Autism" through a shared vision and a commitment to positive approaches. Our organization was founded in 1990 to protect and advance the human rights and civil rights of all persons with autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, and related differences of communication and behavior. In the face of social policies of devaluation, which are expressed in the practices of segregation, medicalization, and aversive conditioning, we assert that all individuals are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.;

(My mom was just here and gave me their newsletter, which includes information on how to join. She also gave me a book put together by the committee, which contains life stories of and by people on the spectrum, called Sharing Our Wisdom)

Oooh.

I go join now...
