Michelle Dawson (born 1961) is an autistic person and an autism researcher.[1][2] She has written a paper[3] challenging the ethical and scientific foundations of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)-based autism interventions. She also challenged the medical necessity of ABA for autistics in the Supreme Court of Canada in Auton v. British Columbia, 3 S.C.R. 657.[4] Dawson's work has generated considerable controversy.
