I did some research about this but I wasn't able to find out who is placing the hold.  I'm not clear on whether it's that they're anti-neurodiversity or just anti-Obama.  Whichever it is, it's just not right and not fair.  If this was the first African-American or the first woman appointed to a position, no one would be making these types of objections.  Sonia Sotomayor can cross the line and say that her race and gender make her a better judge than a white male, and she gets confirmed with bipartisan support.  Yet, if Ari Ne'eman simply says that autistics should have equal rights, the same as neurotypicals, then it's a problem.  It's a clear double standard.

If we can't figure out who's behind this, then we should all make phone calls or write letters to our senators to express our support for his confirmation.
