Wonder how many of us will try to participate in this.

I'd like to participate in that. I need to plan out what I'm going to say for the video, and make sure that it stays within the 30 second time limit.

There's a thirty-second time limit?

checked out some of those vids... a lot of them seem over 30 seconds...

Yeah...a lot of them are more like a minute or something.

I found one that made me chuckle a little bit. There was a Rabbi who said "Put a tzedakah [charity] box in their room, and they'll remind everyone to put something in," because that's something that they teach to young children in synagogues; that you're supposed to give three percent of everything you earn no matter what, and I distinctly remember bugging my parents to put something in.

I think some of them are done pretty well; I hope CNN picks ones where functioning people speak as well as ones where parents speak.

I'm going to do it.

Why the heck did they use the capsraging parents who said it was an epidemic caused by vaccines? >.>

I won't do it, but I appreciate seeing descriptions of what it's like for my fellow autistics.
