Compelling Questions: Why Is It Regrettable But Necessary To Label Autism A Disability?
This presentation will delve into the upsides and downsides of describing autism as being a disability. There are valid reasons for this labeling, though at the same time, the label can do harm, unless strategies which will be discussed are used to keep it from doing harm.
Sam Farmer wears many hats, among these, writer/author, father, husband, musician, computer consultant, and autism spectrum community self-advocate.
