Ari Ne'eman Biography

Ari Ne'eman is one of the most popular and richest Disability Rights Activist who was born on December 10, 1987 in East Brunswick, New Jersey, United States.

After graduating high school, Ne’eman founded the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, a national advocacy organization run by and for autistic adults and youth. In February 2006, he had been appointed by the Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine to the New Jersey Special Education Review Commission, a body tasked with developing recommendations on the educational needs of students with disabilities in the State of New Jersey. There, he authored a minority report to the Commission’s main document expressing concern over the lack of substantive recommendations regarding aversives, restraint, and seclusion. In his letter to commission chair Joyce Powell, the head of the New Jersey Education Association, he noted, “It would have been our preference to find a solution in the main document to this issue. However, owing to numerous compromise proposals having been rejected, including one as basic as requiring parental consent prior to the utilization of these techniques, we feel it incumbent upon us to file a minority opinion.” In the minority report, he and three other commission members argued for a total ban on aversives, restricting restraint to emergency situations only and a variety of other policy recommendations applying to public schools and other entities receiving public funds.

As ASAN President, Ne’eman continued his work against aversives, restraint, and seclusion in a variety of contexts, ranging from grassroots campaigns to comment on specific regulatory proposals. In late 2007, Ne’eman and ASAN began to focus their advocacy efforts against new targets. On November 30, Ne’eman gave public comment to the Inter-Agency Autism Coordinating Committee, a body within the Department of Health and Human Services that he would later join two years later. In his remarks, Ne’eman called for a re-focusing of the autism research agenda away from the priorities of causation and cure, urged increased representation for Autistic self-advocates on the Committee and condemned Autism Speaks as “morally complicit” in recent murders of autistic children, due to their Autism Every Day fundraising video.

ASAN opposed a version of Kevin and Avonte’s Law, which would have provided money to fight wandering behavior in autistic children, expressing concern that the proposed legislation would allow the use of tracking devices “for purposes other than locating missing persons”. After Congress failed to pass Kevin and Avonte’s Law, Ari Ne’eman wrote an article in Vox stating that while ASAN had originally been neutral on the legislation, it switched to opposition because of civil liberties concerns, noting that many autistic children and adults were subject to abuse by caretakers and family members. In response, Amy S.F. Lutz wrote that according to the study that Ne’eman cited as the source for his argument, most autistic children that wander display positive emotions. Later, a revised version of Kevin and Avonte’s Law passed which did not include the language ASAN had objected to.
