To: [log in to unmask]: Re: 'Wrong Planet Acquires Autism Speaks'Date: Sun, 6 Apr 2008 22:50:29 -0400From: [log in to unmask] for the record:-I attended the meating at the United Nations on April 3rd and 4th (because I was here already).The Spanish representative to the UN referred to the Madrid Declaration and various other aspects of which you would approve. I spoke later on and explained the 'No decisions about us without us' aspects. I also explained that it was time that people with ASDs were included in all decision making systems and that parents and professionsla should be preparing to pass on the baton as there are now people with ASD type diagnoses who had the ability to take decisions. I was pleased because I got applause from the audience at those points.I don't know who Plank is but his point is a very reasonable one.Paul S.-----Original Message-----From: Colin REvell <[log in to unmask]>To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>; Zoe Coleman <[log in to unmask]>Sent: Sun, 6 Apr 2008 5:11 pmSubject: 'Wrong Planet Acquires Autism Speaks'
Wrong Planet Acquires Autism SpeaksPosted on Tuesday, April 01 @ 09:14:31 EDT .....'Since Autism Speaks was founded by Bob and Suzanne Wright in 2005, the organization has not employed any autistic individuals.
