Well, as others may have already said, The Onion makes fun of everybody. I am enjoying the antics of Michael the Autistic Reporter, and while the guy's just an actor, I can't help but imagine if anyone of us can actually be a reporter on TV.


There are a number of people on the spectrum working in media and news. It's not an impossibility.

Ok, I understand the idea that the Onion is all about humor but this is simply insulting:

Perhaps if enough people complain about this, they'll get the message that this isn't funny.


Just one problem.

Sorry, I don't usually revive old threads. But I love the Onion's Autistic Reporter videos, and I hadn't seen it discussed here before. I just couldn't resist. It's just too damn funny. :lol:
