Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Autism and Disability

From Hillary 2008 website:Disability rights are civil rights -- the right to be treated equally. They are human rights -- the right of all people to fulfill their God-given potentials. And they are an urgent issue for America -- because America will never achieve our potential until all Americans can achieve theirs.Now obviously we have come a long way in this country. But, we have our work cut out for us if we're going to keep the promise that we should -- that we will continue to work for a more perfect union that includes Americas. For the past seven years, it's as though people with disabilities have been invisible to this President and his administration.If you're a child who can't get the special education classes you need -- you're invisible.If you're a citizen who wants to vote, but the polling place doesn't have the right equipment or the right help -- you're invisible.If you're a worker wants a job, but can't find one that accommodates your disability -- you're invisible too.Well, people with disabilities may be invisible to George Bush, but they are not invisible to you, and they will never be invisible to me.This is a cause I've been involved with for throughout my 35 years.For more, read here: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/...
