		For this reason, some anti-cure autistics such as Jim Sinclair and Michelle Dawson prefer to be referred to as "autistics" or "autistic people" instead of "people with autism" or "people who have autism", because "person with autism" implies that autism is something that can be removed from the person [3] (see person-first terminology).
		Michelle Dawson's open letter to the Autism Society of Canada received 92 signatures by the time it was sent, October 22, 2003, and another 52 signatures on the web version which were signed after the original letter was sent [20].
		Kit Weintraub has responded to Michelle Dawson's claims that ABA is harmful by saying that it is harmful to deny medically necessary and appropriate treatment to autistic children who need it.

	Autism Information Library: In Support of Michelle Dawson and Her Work
		And now we see it, in an attack on Michelle Dawson containing a good deal of unfounded speculation: A Mother's Perspective, written by Kit Weintraub of FEAT and hosted by the Association for Science in Autism Treatment, which says it doesn't normally host opinion letters but thought this was just too important not to print.
		Dawson herself says that she would welcome criticism of her article, but that she would prefer it be legitimate criticism of the content of her article, not unfounded attacks on her character.
		It accuses Dawson in particular and the rest of autistics who share her positions in general of advocating the neglect of autistic children and the perpetuation of suffering.

	Moggy Mania: Autistics.org - Support Michelle Dawson
		For those not aware, Michelle Dawson is an autistic woman in Canada fighting for the rights of autistic adults and children to be given the same treatment as members of other disabilities -- accommodation and acceptance on a legal level, rather than government-sponsored abuse.
		Michelle has been instrumental, as far as I can tell, in getting a major clinician (and his university department) thinking about autism in a very autism-friendly manner.
		Despite this, a mainstream parent of two autistic children (Kit Weintraub, FEAT Wisconsin) decided to have a go at Michelle (rather than what she said in the article purported to be the reason for the "critique").

		Michelle Dawson is an autistic who lives in Montreal, and has written these brilliant essays - No Autistics Allowed - Explorations in discrimination against autistics, of which my favourite is The Misbehavior of Behaviourists.
		The unusual partnership between Dr Mottron and Ms Dawson came about serendipitously, after the two were featured separately in a film about autism — he as the brilliant psychiatrist and she as an autistic woman struggling in the world.
		He said that Ms Dawson knows the scientific literature as well as anyone, that she is a library in the field of autism and cognitive sciences.

	I am the Voice of my Autism » Blog Archive » Michelle Dawson
		Michelle Dawson, a 45 year-old autistic woman, has come together with a Canadian research team headed by Dr. Mottron to study Autistic Spectrum Disorders from a different perspective: to no longer use the idea of “average intellect” as a basis for a cognitive ideal.
		They are seeing the flaws in the designs of these tests to not measure much beyond the norm of cognitive functioning; they are ceasing to assume that the reliability of most standard IQ tests is consistent throughout the whole diverse range of humanity.
		I applaud Michelle Dawson for helping the scientific community get their bearings and to begin to set things straight after many years of myth, fear, and mystery.

		Michelle Dawson is an autistic who works as a researcher, affiliated with the Pervasive Developmental Disorders information processing laboratory at Hôpital Rivière-des-Prairies in Montréal.
		Recently, her ethics- and human rights-based arguments were cited by the Supreme Court of Canada in their decision against a group of parents attempting to have the human rights of autistics replaced by the single "right" to "medically necessary" intensive behavior interventions designed to extinguish autistic traits and abilities.
		Many consider Ms Dawson to be among the leaders of a global effort to have autism recognized as a different way of being human, rather than as a disease or series of defects to be eradicated.

		Dawson — a precocious one-year-old who earlier this month reached the top of the stairs in his Lafayette, Colorado home — surprised both mom and dad by plopping off the couch (once the episode of COPS he was watching on TV was over) and taking five bold self-initiated steps.
		After Dawson's first successful unassisted walking experience, his normally non-pushy parents encouraged him to try again (and again, and again, and again).
		When asked what motivated him to attempt such a dramatic exploit, a overly confident Dawson responded, "Well, I was sitting with Dad on the couch when all of a sudden Mom came down the hall holding this cool piece of string in her left hand.

		Michelle Dawson has created a stir in the scientific community with her radical view of autism, and she's determined to change our attitudes and the beliefs of the medical community.
		It's particularly problematic when an autistic person takes this point of view, as they tend to be so absolutist about their views.

		Michelle isn’t joking — explicit learning does get in the way of implicit learning and someone has done some work that explicit reinforcement of any variety wrecks anyone’s capacity to learn.
		I did read the whole "thread" and found Michelle's speculations concerning the nature of the relationship between implicit and exlpicit learning as it relates to Autism to be interesting speculations worthy of followup via reseasrch.
		My point is that the "blank slate" assumption Michelle objects to and the direct and indirect instruction of pro social values and behaviour is not limited to ASD kids...

		Dawson says: "I study autistic learning, and ABA represents a near opposite of how autistics learn well.
		ABA intensifies the kind of learning autistics are worst at, and behaviour analysts do not acknowledge the kind of learning autistics excel at.".

		Adam becomes "self-diagnosed", there is certainty that he is an imposter and fraud (and surely a malingerer) because his parents did not notice anything when he was young, professionals never considered or actually denied that he was autistic, etc.
		That is, the Senate refused to recognize that an autistic is a research associate affiliated with a research group, even though all correspondence was signed with my affiliation, and I requested to appear under my affiliation (and was also recommended as a witness by the research group I'm affiliated with).
		That was right before I was whisked out of the room and backwards through security and out to a taxi stand because I was about to be late for my train (the last one to leave town).
