The rules of procedure in the Senate allow one lone senator to place such a hold on a presidential nominee, anonymously and for any reason or, sometimes, no reason at all. As reported by Reuters, the White House recently stated that President Obama has a total of 217 nominees pending before the Senate, and 34 of them have been pending for more than six months. Expressing his frustration with this situation, the president announced yesterday that he intends to place some of his nominees in their positions by means of recess appointments, which allow him to avoid the con...

President Obama made it clear that he is indeed a good friend of the autistic community when, as announced in this White House press release yesterday, he nominated Ari Ne'eman of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network to serve as a member of the National Council on Disability.Here's an exce...

The. F..People. Get the hell off my planet if you think this is ok. Now. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. AoA, this isn't acceptable. You know that you're associated with John Best, and either he knows he is so far in the wrong he has gone to plaid, or he needs professional help about 10 years ago.I don't give a flying F. what you think about neurodiversity. This is wrong. Jake Crosby--if you're defending this, know when you speak up, they kn...

And of course this is true. It’s why, for one thing, I (like many others parents) emphasize the “I” in “IEP”—”Individual Education Plan.” Many’s the time that Jim and I have sat at the table with the Child Study Team and insisted that Charlie needs to be taught as he needs to be taught, not as “autistic children in general.” It takes awhile—weeks, months—for teachers and therapists, for anyone—to get to know Charlie’s patterns of speech and his way of doing things; to know who he is, as an individual. And it’s after this that they can teach him well, and better, even. It...

According to such a view, not only is autism something that happened to a child; it is something bad that happened—-a recent CBC News special feature, Positively Autistic, says that “since the early 90’s, an autistic rights movement has sprung up, challenging the official view of autism and working to change how the world sees autism.” Interviewed are: Amanda Baggs, Estée Klar-Wolfond of The Autism Acceptance Project, Michael Moon, Michelle Dawson, Dr. Laurent Motron, and Ari Ne’eman and Scott Robertson of the Autisitc Self-Advocacy Network.

I turned around to see it and saw YOU. While it’s possible my dad was referring to seeing a framed photo of me at various stages of my life (though the majority of the photos in my parents’ house are now of a certain boy, their only grandson), my dad did indeed mean that he’d seen me on tv. So if you happen to be near one from 7-9am tomorrow, Monday, June 9th, and you happen to be watching Good Morning America, you may well see me. I was interv...
