It was execellent. What's important to understand is that it wasn't made for parents with children on the Autism spectrum, but to educate others. I saw Autism Every Day recently. It was execellent.

The challenges facing families like ours are tremendous, both emotionally and financially. The video did feel like our life, overwhelming at times and lost. We have even noticed noticed friends and family avoiding us now. Unfortunately, there are not enough resources available to help these children adequately. You can do something to help. Please go to the following link and support legislation to get more funding for autism research and services for children and adults.

They pretend that there is an epidemic of this kind of autism and deny the reality of autism as affects the majority of autistic people who do not fit that picture. It leads to the majority of research funds going into means of prevention and cure rather than into researching ways to help and support autistic people and their families in the here and now. The Autism Speaks video speaks to that agenda. It does not speak for me. And no you have not understood me at all if you think that means I want to hide the reality of what severe autism means from the world. Harold,

You should consider those who do in fact live in institutional care after their parents can no longer care for them or are deceased. I am one who supports the Autism Every Day video. I am the parent of a severely autistic boy who brings me great joy. HE brings me great joy not his Autism Disorder. His autism brings many challenges such as those described in Autism Every Day. The complete picture of autism should be told to the world not just the savant, or the high functioning end of the spectrum picture. This video helps tell the story of a significant number of severely autistic persons. If I understand you correctly you would rather hide that reality from the world.

To be honest I despise podcasts and all the low quality stuff that purports to be video on the internet, it is actually worse than 405 lines on a faulty tube, why do people put up with this backward step in technology when HDTV beckons?
