ASA Issues Human Rights Declaration for People with ASD
Wednesday, December 19, 2007
By: Carin Yavorcik, autism-society.org
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. |

Reprinted from the Vanderbilt Reporter
story by Craig Boerner
The nation's leading autism advocacy organization is funding Vanderbilt University Medical Center to become one of the new Autism Treatment Network (ATN) sites — an elite designation in the field of autism treatment and research.
Autism Speaks announced Wednesday, (Dec 12th) the approval of $450,000 over three years for Vanderbilt as part of its expansion from five sites to 15 across the United States and Canada.
ATN treatment and research centers are dedicated to improving medical care for children and adolescents with autism.
"Being part of the national Autism Treatment Network will facilitate our naturally collaborative nature in the Medical Center to bring the highest level of care across medical disciplines for children with autism and their families,” said Pat Levitt, Ph.D., director of the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Research on Human Development (VKC).
