That would be me. 
I believe consciousness is fundamental. Like mass, charge, and spin, it is a property of all particles.
There are different reasons people reject this idea. One is that they cannot accept the idea that particles can have mental abilities like thoughts and awareness. But I do not equate consciousness with mental abilities. I think that’s a mistake. We have brains that do all these things, and we are conscious of them. But what we are conscious of is not what consciousness is. Many people think that various, possibly all, other animal species are conscious. If they are correct, and I think they are, then our mental abilities are not consciousness.
I think everything, whether animal, vegetable, or mineral, subjectively experiences whatever its nature is, regardless of mental considerations.
