This is not the same person. "Toby" in this interview mentioned above is the same person as Jim Sinclair, autistic activist, as can be seen from this video from Autreat 2000. The person addressed as Jim Sinclair at 1:00 is clearly identical with "Toby". The only other image of Sinclair I was able to find online is from this article from 2020, and this again clearly shows the same person, again using a wheelchair, as in the Autreat 2000 video linked underneath it. They even wear the same glasses and vests/waistcoats they did when they took part in the SJR interview back in 1989! (Toby Adams, attorney is clearly not Jim Sinclair either, for good measure - gender, appearance, family, education and career are all different, while Jim Sinclair's all align with "Toby"'s words in their interview.)
I would also like to take the opportunity to clarify that Jim Sinclair, autistic activist, is not the same person as Jim Sinclair, labour activist and chair of Fraser Health Authority in British Columbia. It may be worth adding some kind of notice to this page if possible as, judging from a Google search, the latter's image shows up next to information about the former. Many people seem to use images of the latter to refer to Sinclair's work and assume that Sinclair now presents as male and uses he/him pronouns, when they do not. (It is fairly obvious from both available life stories and simply comparing images and video that the two could not be the same person; in case further proof is needed, Jim Sinclair, autistic activist, is seven years younger than Jim Sinclair, labour activist.)
