'LIFE UNWORTHY OF LIFE'
Autism and Hate Speech in the Toronto Star (Aug 31, 2004) The Toronto Star
published articles that contained demeaning and misleading information about
autism.
When Michelle Dawson, an autistic woman, tried to counter these letters with
facts, she was told (at long last) that her letter was "too hurtful" to
publish.
Read her correspondence with the newspaper (as well as the original articles
that sparked this off) at Autism and Hate Speech in the Toronto Star: The
Letter that was "Too Hurtful".
