Emma Budway describes her experience as a nonspeaking autistic woman
under guardianship and the benefits of less restrictive alternatives.
Guardianship is a restrictive legal arrangement that often strips many
rights from disabled people, including the right to make independent
decisions. But it doesn’t have to be this way—supported decision-making
is a less restrictive alternative arrangement that centers the
individual and their wishes and preferences. Emma Budway details how we
can reimagine guardianship, including for nonspeaking autistic people
like her.
