A mother kills her autistic son. Why? Because he asked her to. The mother claims he used facilitated communication to ask her to help him die. This case is just one of many tied to the controversial method that claims to give a voice to non-speaking autistic individuals. But what if the voice wasn't theirs at all?

Mike Ferguson in the Morning 09-13-24 Amy Lutz joins us to talk about her years working at the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara, CA, from 2015-2018. She was there during the early planning stages for the new Reagan movie that's now in theaters nationwide. More information on the Reagan Ranch here: https://yaf.org/ronaldreagan/ The gate to the ranch is at an elevation of 2240 feet above sea level. The land, in the Santa Ynez Mountains, was once part of a Spanish land concession given to a soldier named Jose Francisco de Ortega, who settled there in 1794. For Ronald and Nancy Reagan, it was love at first sight -- for the ranch, that is. The president said, "From the first day we saw it, Rancho del Cielo cast a spell over us. No place before or since has given Nancy and me the joy and serenity it does." On November 13, 1974, Ronald and Nancy Reagan bought the 688-acre Tip Top Ranch and renamed it Rancho del Cielo, which in Spanish means "Sky Ranch." Reagan was serving out his last weeks as governor of California, a position he had held for eight years. It was his refuge as he prepared to run for president in 1976 and 1980. During those years, it was dubbed by the media as the "Western White House." Today, Rancho del Cielo is owned and maintained by Young America's Foundation and they focus on preserving the ranch just as Ronald and Nancy Reagan left it.

A new commentary, "A full semantic toolbox is essential for autism research and practice to thrive," published in the journal Autism Research, the journal of the International Society for Autism Research, counters the call by several neurodiversity advocates to limit language and terms relating to autism. Two of its authors, Amy Lutz and Jill Escher, discuss the commentary and its context. Read the commentary here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/aur.2876 Abstract: "Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) present with a highly diverse set of challenges, disabilities, impairments and strengths. Recently, it has been suggested that researchers and practitioners avoid using certain words to describe the difficulties and impairments experienced by individuals with ASD to reduce stigma. The proposed limitations on terminology were developed by only a subset of the autism community, and the recommendations are already causing negative consequences that may be harmful to future scientific and clinical endeavors and, ultimately, to people with ASD. No one should have the power to censor language to exclude the observable realities of autism. Scientists and clinicians must be able to use any scientifically accurate terms necessary to describe the wide range of autistic people they study and support, without fear of censure or retribution."

Novelist and parent of an autistic child Cammie McGovern spent a year traveling around the country, visiting day and residential programs for autistic adults. She discusses what she found with Amy Lutz. Highlights: • Cammie was inspired to look into the range of adult services as her own autistic son Ethan, now 25, was aging out of his educational entitlement. • Although sheltered workshops have been targeted for closure at the state and federal level, many 14(c) programs provide meaningful work and peer interaction for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. • Intentional communities are not permitted in many states, because they are considered too institutional by Disability Rights advocates. Cammie discusses why, after all her site visits, this is what she envisions for Ethan's future. • What is “community”? For neurodiversity advocates, community is a geographic location that is primarily populated by nondisabled people, but for parents community is about relationships.
