[QUOTE="--Eleanor--, post: 63301, member: 3620"] If this is a repeat of the Oprah show that aired in April (looks like it is from what I can tell on her website), it has that awful woman who appears in the "Autism Speaks" video in which says that she would like to murder her autistic daughter but refrains from doing so because her "normal" child needs her. I get pretty irked about all the sensationalist media that portrays autism via imagies of distraught, tearful unkempt mothers who say things like "It is like me child was kidnapped by aliens and replaced with this empty, souless shell," etc. Frankly, I think that parents that exhibit their autistic kids on TV while whining about how awful their lives are are the empty, souless shells. Ok. Off my soapbox now... [/QUOTE]
