Autism: A Human Rights Issue
Thursday, 20 December 2007

 

ASA Issues Human Rights Declaration for People with ASD

The latest issue of ASA’s Autism Advocate magazine brings autism to the forefront of world human rights. In an article entitled “The Next Global Human Rights Issue: Why the Plight of Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders Requires a Global Call to Action,” ASA president and CEO Lee Grossman and Harvard University lecturer Paulo Barrozo issue a declaration of the human rights of people with autism spectrum disorders.
   

In light of this declaration, the Advocate also brings autism spectrum disorders into the arena of American politics with the “2008 Presidential Election ASA Questions for the Candidates.” These six questions outline the top issues for Americans with autism today, from insurance parity to adult employment and more.
   

If you found these articles helpful, please consider becoming an ASA member. Your support qualifies you to receive the Advocate every quarter.
