Yes, I heard that on my basic cable station...great to see it in a way I've seen so many other causes...I can't remember ever seeing autism so 'mainstreamed' on tv. I've rarely seen it, and only on 20/20 type shows. Know what I mean?

Speaking of mainstreaming, every month I open my parenting magazine and they have an article about autism. I guess that 1 in 168 number is getting some notice.

i understand that the comedy central thing for autism education is for a good cause but it just seems to make me want to cry? i don't quite understand why i feel like i am trapped inside my mind and i don't want people thinking about me. or thinking about my condition. i don't want people to feel sorry for me, lord knows i feel sorry for myself enough.
i don't know, i probably feel happy that people can help. and i feel like they are doing an excellent job of explaining autism. i feel a bit left out since they are focusing on the severe autism cases. i guess i feel like my asperger's is something i should be ashamed of since it doesn't seem to debilitate my interactions as it does with my friend (little mike, around 47 IQ) i know i shouldn't feel like this. i tend to expound accross thoughts and fester through my life and confusion. and i know i am still messed up in the head, but i guess i feel like i should be embaressed and not tell people about my syndrome since it is not as severe as others? make anysense? darn i have been really entertained from the show. and it looks like they are getting a good amount of donations plus it is nice to know that some people are learning more and more about the disability. |
