Unfortunately, for the past 2-1/2 years, both my son Ben and I have had serious medical issues but I hope to try again to pursue the following posted 2-1/2 years ago:

Nonverbal persons must be protected from abuse
Nonverbal persons must be protected from abuse (whether with or without autism, along with other vulnerable persons) – including physical abuse, rape and unexplained injuries even deaths.
While I have publicly expressed my concerns in the past, I deeply regret that I have not been more vocal and now I intend to pursue this extremely important area and seek help from everyone involved with nonverbal persons.
Earlier this week, I posted two other statements that should be read in conjunction with this post (to a private Facebook group, a private yahoo!group and “autismfc” a public yahoo!group):
Nonverbal persons, with or without autism, need everyone’s help now
FC (Facilitated Communication) & the most basic human right of LIFE (7 June 2011)
So far, 3 persons responded to the private Facebook group post and 2 persons responded by private email, for a total of 5 persons.
I look forward to more persons offering to help, including everyone involved with Facilitated Communication and Rapid Prompting Method – whether as supporters or opponents (such as professor James Todd) - because all of these persons have expressed their concern about the human rights of nonverbal persons.
Concerning all 3 of these posts this week, I would especially want to get comments from self-advocates including nonverbal persons besides my own son Ben who already commented.
