Is there a different channel for Nick news? Because in England, 604 (Nickoledon gotten via sky) is showing SpongeBob Square pants at 8:30

And that's something to complain about? I don't mind having Spongebob over an Autism special (It's the kid in me! :3)


I'm not complaining. I just wondered.
are you cheacking 8:30 eastern or are you checking 8:30 where you live?

You've got a whole other Nickelodeon over there. Nick.co.uk says you don't even have Nick News.

It just aired, although it was great, I thought that they should have went into more detail about asperger's, autism, etc.

I did end up running this show. And I liked it. I especially liked the fact that they mentioned Asperger's and savantism to give viewers a well-rounded look at the spectrum.

They did that excellently, but I wished they went a bit more into Asperger's and Autism, because the last nine minutes of the hour were commercials, and I felt it was better off if it had more meat to it.

Still excellent, though.

I saw it too, I think it was very well put together. It did a good job showing the good and bad things with autism, and even mentioned bullying problems. better than any autism special/show I have seen so far,
xboxboy: I think they didn't go into too much discription because of time restrictions, it's a shame it wasn't longer.

The so called "savant" didn't appear Autistic to me.
