I really want to read the RPM books. Because it seems like she’s gotten some sense on how prompting is a *huge* deal with autistic people and maybe is doing something useful with it. But I’m not sure. Something about it seems sketchy.

It’s both sketchy and highly important for some people, which is an unfortunate combination.  It’s highly important because when it works, it works where other things would not work.  And it produces results where someone can say absolutely “this is my own work, not someone else’s”.  But in the interim, it can do some pretty awful things and nobody’s talking about it.

  4. chavisory said: I think it CAN be used in ways that are deeply sketchy. But yeah, it seems like she understands how prompting works. And I know a girl who’s able to communicate, like, at all, because of it.
