All knowledge is value-laden, influenced by the multifarious inarticulate major premises deriving from our inescapable ideological baggage. However, on occasions such as this, it behooves all people of good sense and logic to endeavour to be objective in their views. Occasions such as these, call upon us to question our own assumptions. We are required to turn our version of logic upside down, inside out, in a critical and evaluative sense. The purpose of all these is to establish a broad spectrum of objectivity that informs the ideas being presented. Part of my observations and verdicts in the analytical aspects of the paper have been rather unflattering—perhaps harsh. That is what we do in the academy. But I guess, they are only but that part of the labour pains we have submitted ourselves to in the birth of a new jurisprudential trajectory for the CoA—a coherent and predictable jurisprudence.

The autism community represents a broad spectrum of individuals, including those experiencing autism, their parents and/or caregivers, friends and family members, professionals serving these individuals, and other allies and advocates. Beliefs, experiences, and values across the community can be quite varied. As such, it is important for the professionals serving the autism community to be well-informed about current discussions occurring within the community related to neurodiversity, a strengths-based approach to partnering with autism community, identity-first language, and concepts such as presumed competence. Given the frequency with which speech-language pathologists (SLPs) serve the autism community, the aim of this article is to introduce and briefly discuss these topics.

Abstract. This paper presents the results of a study that employed measures of personality, social attitudes, values, and social norms that have been the focus of recent research in individual differences. These measures were given to a sample of participants (N = 1,255) who were enrolled at 25 US colleges and universities. Factor analysis of the correlation matrix produced four factors. Three of these factors corresponded to the domains of Personality/Amoral Social Attitudes, Values, and Social Norms; one factor, Conservatism, cut across the domains. Cognitive ability showed negative correlation with conservatism and amoral social attitudes. The study also examined gender and ethnic group differences on factor scores. The overall interpretation of the findings is consistent with the inside-out view of human social interactions.
