[edit] Jim Sinclair

Does having a prominent "anti-cure perspective" on autism make one notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia? 549 google hits. [1] GRider\^talk 22:26, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Jim Sinclair is actively involved in Autism Network International http://www.ani.ac , the largest organization run by and for autistic people. Sinclair's essay "Don't Mourn for Us" has most likely reached more people than any other piece of anti-cure writing and has changed peoples' view of autism. The autism rights movement (though not the official name of the movement) is just starting to build momentum and I do believe Jim Sinclair is an important person in the movement, and is important enough for mentioning in Wikipedia.

In addition, I do think information about the impact and controversy generated in the autism community by "Don't Mourn for Us" can be expanded on. Q0 01:31, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, just passes notability for me, needs expansion. Megan1967 05:56, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
