Here's an interesting video about common misconceptions about autism. She really rants on about vaccines (not) causing autism, and about how facilitated communication is a joke (her attitude is just funny). The speaker seems to really know her stuff. I got the video from my professor who worked down at University of CA - San Diego with the speaker and she recommended it to me. Here it is, and hope that you enjoy it:

It is a good one indeed.

USCD have also posted their videos to a youtube channel, and I find it is easier to browse and search them. There are tons of fascinating videos. Just type mind or brain, memory, autism..., much better than turning on the TV:

Sounds fantastic! I really like watching this stuff. I was told about her by my professor, who used to work down there. It probably is better than watching TV (or at least more mentally stimulating than Sponge Bob lol).
