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?
