Has anybody else seen the "Amazing Families" autism epsoide on TLC? It calls autism horrible and terrible! Gosh...
I haven't seen it but it sounds disgusting.  I went to the TLC Website and this is the description they had listed:

Amazing Moms

Sophie and Marc had everything, until they were told Autism runs in their family. See how these determined parents spent every penny to save their children. Parenthood can be a challenge for many; for paraplegics Ted and Cindy it's kind of a miracle.


It airs again on May 15, I think I will watch it just so I can complain about it the next day  :evil: .

Will the media ever leave autism alone? Those pro-cure groups have convinced almost everybody to go against it. There are few who are not turned against autism.
There are few who are not turned against autism.

It's my experience that this is not the case but it is the way the media portrays it. I've not as of yet met anyone who thinks that we or anyone else needs to be 'cured' and most are disgusted by the idea. So not all doom and gloom  :grin:
