i saw a promo for the oprah coming on 9/18, which is about celebrities that have autistic sons.  i'm not sure if this is going to be good or bad, but it sounds curebie as they are trying to "save their sons", like autism is some lethal disease.
Oh poo, not another "Poor me, see what I have to put up with? All the fame/money/adulation are IRRELEVENT because I have this dreadfully afflicted offspring, feel ever so sorry for me" Sad

p.s. Why no scowling or angry faces. I know they are called smilies, but still.......
Will John Travolta be there denying his son Jett is autistic and claiming he was "cured" by Scientology?

"Hi, I'm John  Travolta and my son is not autistic and I'm not gay -- both through the miracle of $cientolgy!"

I swear the best and most truthful explanation of how scientology works was inn the "South Park" episode about Tom Cruise being locked in the closet. Brilliant, unexaggerated and totally true.

Is it out there on Youtube?

I'll bet TimHomer would know -- he's the south park expert.

Yes it is, Max..just search south park scientology on noob tube..I bet you anything it'll come up ;p

I'll look now
Thanks for the YouTube hints - very funny! Big Grin

I totally agree with you about the evolution thing.  But perhaps it's better NOT to let the NTs understand what that truly means. They might react badly if they think we're going to supersede them.

Thank goodness for that. Luckily, I'm not at home when Oprah is on because I'm sure I would have been direly tempted to throw something at the TV screen when that episode about Asperger's was shown.

Btw, Syvester Stallone has a grown up son with autism and I've never seen him whinging about that fact and his son is quite severely affected.

...and what she is a threat to autistic people? I still really don't understand.

It's not her exactly, it's people who are like her. Generally people who can belive Autism/Asperger's can be cured. I thought what she said on Oprah, while I disagree with it, was at least rational compared to what some curbies will do.

Also, that picture of Jenny really explains why she and Jim Carrey, make such a perfect couple. LoL
