This article published in 2000 describes the fears and anxieties that people continue to have when they see someone in public who doesn\u2019t fit societal norms. The article describes and attached a picture of a boy in a helmet, mouth guard, and gloves that he wears in order to prevent him from harming himself. He had never hurt anyone else but as soon as people see him they think he is \u201cmad\u201d and would continuously hide their children from him (Labi &amp; Cray, 2000: 92). The document discusses how his Autism Spectrum diagnoses may affect his immigration status. This document will show that in 2000 there was still a fight for the human rights of people with disabilities, including details from court cases that are deciding this young boys future as an immigrant based off of perceptions and fears of disabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article in Time magazine titled \u201cDoes This Boy Deserve Asylum\u201d highlights the continuing struggle in the most recent history of disability rights in the US.
