Steve Silberman: The forgotten history of autism TED 13:48 March 2015

Decades ago, few pediatricians had heard of autism. In 1975, 1 in 5,000 kids was estimated to have it. Today, 1 in 68 is on the autism spectrum. What caused this steep rise? Steve Silberman points to “a perfect storm of autism awareness” — a pair of psychologists with an accepting view, an unexpected pop culture moment and a new clinical test. But to really understand, we have to go back further to an Austrian doctor by the name of Hans Asperger, who published a pioneering paper in 1944. Because it was buried in time, autism has been shrouded in misunderstanding ever since. (This talk was part of a TED2015 session curated by Pop-Up Magazine: popupmagazine.com or @popupmag on Twitter.)

Transportation Protest by Disability Advocates in Cleveland, OH (1985)

LeapInfo 9:41 December 2008

In the spring of 1985, a group of disability advocates from Cleveland blocked two busses during lunch hour on Public Square. Years of failed negotiations and efforts to get RTA to purchase lift-equipped busses and to make public transportation accessible to people with disabilities resulted in this memorable act of civil disobedience. Thanks to Frank Anderson of the Paralyzed Veterans of America, Buckeye Chapter, Mary Verdi-Fletcher of the Dancing Wheels, Gary Edler of LEAP, advocate Florence White, and Jesse Anderson, a disability leader of many roles, for sharing their memories of this event. These interviews were conducted by John Leoni from 2005-2006.

Eleanor Longden: The voices in my head TED 14:13 February 2013

To all appearances, Eleanor Longden was just like every other student, heading to college full of promise and without a care in the world. That was until the voices in her head started talking. Initially innocuous, these internal narrators became increasingly antagonistic and dictatorial, turning her life into a living nightmare. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, hospitalized, drugged, Longden was discarded by a system that didn't know how to help her. Longden tells the moving tale of her years-long journey back to mental health, and makes the case that it was through learning to listen to her voices that she was able to survive.
