Nick News is going to have a special with Linda Ellerbee on Autism, and Asperger's Syndrome. Here is an article, with the date and time of the show:

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070329/nyth095.html?.v=77

I linked to a article off of Nick.com, because they had a picture of an Autistic child gouging into their eyes with their fingers. I guess even children are ok to sell fear-based news to. I think Linda Ellerbee is very intelligent and will do a good show about this. I just don't understand, Nick can only find a picture of an Autistic child harming themselves? They couldn't come up with something else?
:shameonyou:

You'd think that they would at least show an example of an ability to focus well, or something! :roll:

She doesn't. It never said anything about her having it so I don't know why you thought it.

Alright, since euphrosyne requested it. Here is the link to the eye gouging picture:

You might have to scroll down a tad to see it. I just want to remind you, before you click on the link. This picture may be upsetting or disturbing.

I thought that Temple Grandin was autistic. I've read stories of her in the past about overcoming some of her problems and became a big name in cattle containment (and something about a 'squeeze machine). Here's her website to tell more:

To be honest, it will probably be dumbed down to the average Nick Viewer level.
