John Kiss
One particular issue that Kiss strongly opposed was Judaism's traditional rejection of autistic children from the bar mitzvah ceremony. In the Jewish religion, the ceremony is the rite of passage from childhood towards adulthood. In classical Jewish tradition, the ceremony requires developed mental capacities proving the child is "eligible" to be announced as an adult; thus, exemptions or disqualifications from the ceremony were given, traditionally, to the mentally handicapped, essentially rejecting these youngsters from the bar mitzvah ceremony for being "ineligible."
