Many times in the autism community parents of autistic children do not like autistic adults weighing in on situations that have to do with their autistic children. I am an autistic adult and often have parents telling me that I should not judge situations if I have not lived it – the “until-you-walk-a-mile-in-their-shoes” is told to me nearly every week as I post the latest news articles along with my comments on social media.

Autistic Hoya: End the torture. Make this go viral.

2016-11-10T10:12:13-05:00By Ollibean|Categories: Advocacy, Articles, General, Politics, Uncategorized|Tags: abuse, all disabilities, Andre McCollins, autisic, autism, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Autistic Hoya, aversives, disability rights, human rights, JRC, judge rotenberg center, level III aversives, Lydia Brown, restrain and seclusion, shock aversive therapy, torture|

The public must see what the Judge Rotenberg Center is doing. Their experts claimed that the public would not understand the content of this video without "proper context." There is no context that justifies the use of torture against anybody ever. The public has not merely a right but a responsibility to watch this video and share it everywhere.
