The behaviorists and ABA people were not very nice or scientific the past ten years as they worked against FC at the same time of getting their intervention off the ground. Now that's all in the past, people really need to take a closer lood at what is happenning with FC before saying or doing anything against it. My Autismlist has a good deal of information and discussion of FC, as well as everything else related to autism. Fell free to join or just read the list on the web. It's a totally open list.

I was a strong believer in FC before I went, but to see a whole range of different types of severe autistics who have learned to type independently, was something to behold. Any schmuk off the street could have walked into that conference and saw the whole idea of retardation needs to be very carefully re-evaluated. A good starting point should be taking a closer look at FC for those who have been told erroneously that there was nothing to it. There's always been something to FC even for the most skeptical person, but often the truth is drowned out by those with their own personal agendas.
