𧩠Autism politics question
You know how the ABAmongering 'experts' are happy to share a stage with Temple Grandin, Stephen Shore and John Elder Robison, because they know those guys won't bite their heads off --
So, question: Who are their favourite famous AAC users?

So, question: Who are their favourite famous AAC users?
I ask this, because it seems to me that they are anti-AAC because of the things that AAC users say.
Seems like, "We like working with people who are intelligent yet know their place; but we can't find any AAC users who know their place now that Carly Fleischmann is gone."

And I don't even mean that Carly was tame; it's just that she had the kind of personal goals that wouldn't necessarily bring her headlong into confrontation with 'autism experts' very often.
OK, I've asked this question in an AAC user group too now. So far, nobody knows of anyone. The basic vibe is, "If you can speak, you're not allowed to say anything about nonspeakers, and if you can't speak, nothing you say by any means counts."
One even said that an ABA expert at a conference said that #AAC is not "evidence-based".
So you can imagine what kind of "evidence" the human-rights-abuse-promoting guest editor of this special edition is looking for for engaging with "the community".
