Take a look at this:
http://www.naar.org/news/render_pr.asp?intNewsItemID=321
National Allianance For Autism Research(NAAR) admits in this press release
that it uses the labor of autistic adults in New Jersey institutions to
stuff envelopes with mailings soliciting donations. They're even claiming
that they're promoting equal employment opportunity.
The residents of these institutions are not paid for their work, are not
free to leave, and cannot refuse to participate in any activity that is made
a part of their behavioral program.
This is despicable abuse and exploitation of basic human and civil rights
and I hope that the UN Disability Treaty will legislate for this.
Are not austistic disabled people protected under the ADA and within the
American Constitution of Rights then?
