Autism and Political Careers
Individuals on the autism spectrum have been stigmatized as not being expected to engage in certain activities, such as interpersonal interaction and communication, which are related to the capacity to exercise leadership and may have implications for their capacity to effectively function in political roles. In this paper, we profile four politicians (who happen to be state legislators) with autism who have beaten the odds with electoral success…
Stories From the Trenches
Objective Persons with disabilities are a large and significant segment of the American public, yet Americans with disabilities are only beginning to be considered as political candidates or officeholders. Methods This paper reports on in‐depth interviews with 21 individuals with physical disabilities who have stood for office in recent election cycles. The interviews focused on candidates’ reasons for running, their campaign experiences, and how…
Nothing About Us Without Us
“The blind, the deaf, the lame, and the otherwise physically disabled have the same right to privacy that others do; not only the right to rent a home or an apartment, public or private housing, but the right to determine their living arrangements, the conduct of their lives; the right to select their mates, raise their families, and receive due protection in the safe and secure exercise of these rights. ... the world in which the disabled, too, …

Disability Protests
Part and parcel to the civil rights movements of the past thirty years has been a sustained, coordinated effort among Americans to secure equal rights and equal access to that of non-disabled people. Beyond merely providing a history of this movement, Sharon Barnartt and Richard Scotch's Disability Protests: Contentious Politics, 1970-1999 offers an incisive, sociological analysis of thirty years of protests, organization, and legislative victori…

Disability Policy
Despite recent advances, many people with disabilities remain socially and economically marginalized, a situation reinforced by assumptions about disability built into many public policies. Program eligibility may reflect the moral stigmatization of many disabling conditions or may assume that an individual either has a disability and is unable to work, or is able to work and therefore does not have a disability. Further, programs define disabili…

The Ryan White Act in Dallas
Virtually every locality affected by the AIDS epidemic has had to confront changes in the demographics of the disease, shifts in federal priorities, and medical advances in AIDS treatment. Creating a consistent federal policy has proven difficult because the epidemic manifests itself differently in virtually every locality it invades. As a result, some local caseloads increasingly are dominated by intravenous drug users and others by gay men. In …
Disability as Human Variation
The impact of any disability policy depends on the conceptual model of disability upon which that policy rests. For the past quarter century of disability policymaking, culminating in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the dominant paradigm of disability has been a minority group model. That model identifies discrimination as the primary barrier facing people with disabilities in their desire for full social participation…
Rethinking Progressive School Reform
A successful explanation of the causes of school reform in the Progressive Era must account for the apparently paradoxical fact that the reforms adopted in all American cities were similar while the political processes that resulted in reform varied dramatically among cities. In this article we develop a new model of Progressive school reform based on recent work in institutionalist theory. We also present the findings from preliminary empirical …
National Mandates and Local Nonprofits
This paper shows how federal resources and mandates concerning the HIV epidemic combined with the political economy and political culture of Dallas, Texas to create a distinctive local HIV/AIDS service system. The infusion of federal funds allowed nonprofit organizations to expand their services, especially in the areas of economic assistance and social services. In addition, funding to minority agencies and services to minority clients were expa…

One Comprehensive System? A Historical Perspective on Federal Disability Policy
We examine the historical development of federal disability policy; we assess the scope of the social security disability system, as well as inconsistencies between that attempt at a comprehensive system and programs such as vocational rehabilitation, veterans' programs, and special entitlements for blind people; and we conclude with a list of the questions that our analysis raises for the conduct of disability studies
Politics and Policy in the History of the Disability Rights Movement
Although the disability rights movement consists of a small portion of all Americans with disabilities, activists have pressed claims on behalf of that entire population. The nascent movement in the early and mid-1970s drew upon policy goals of other civil rights movements, particularly at the federal level, to gain political and legal objectives. Disability rights activists achieved mixed results over the past decade despite joining broader coal…

Disability as the Basis for a Social Movement
Many people with disabilities do not identify themselves as disabled or choose not to be part of a politically active community of disabled persons. This paper discusses both the barriers to the formation of a social movement of disabled people and the ways in which these barriers have been overcome. The role of public policy in the evolution of this movement is discussed, as are the current status and prospects of the disability rights movement
