<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">When autistic people disclose being autistic, we are often met with intrusive questions and hostile responses: Who diagnosed you? When were you toilet-trained?
Well, you don't look autistic to me.<span style="color:black"> </span> Autism disclosure can be taken by others as an opportunity to tally our symptoms, to compare our disclosures against autism stereotypes or misinformed ideas about diagnostic criteria.
In this talk, Melanie examines the ways in which disability disclosures are often read as invitations to refute diagnosis. The ability to say, “I have autism,” for example, is often viewed as evidence that one does not have autism — or, at least, not “real”
or “severe” autism. As a means of speaking back to these stereotypes, Melanie examines the ways in which autistic bloggers redefine what diagnosis can mean for autistic people.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Ethel Louise Armstrong, who exemplified self-determination and resistance in the face of socially imposed constraints. As a young woman with a physical disability growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, Margaret was inspired by her grandmother's insistence on excelling
in postsecondary education despite social conventions during her time that denied women, particularly those with disabilities, opportunities for school and work. Ms. Staton, a lifelong advocate worked in Washington DC promoting accessibility after earning
her M.Ed. In 1994 she founded the ELA Foundation to promote full inclusion of people with disabilities in the world.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
