Some of you on this listserv may be aware of the AUTON case which was heard
recently by the Supreme Court of Canada. Parents of autistic children are
fighting for ABA -behaviourist "treatment" to be applied to their children.
At no point until that appeal was the voice of an autistic person heard. At
that point, Michele Dawson submitted her factum to Canada's highest court.
The document offered an incisive social model analysis of autism, something
rarely found anywhere in this country.
I am aware that there are some autistic people on this listserv and others
who are alliies so I thought perhaps you might be interested in Michele's
web site and her submission to teh court. Lilith
