I was kind of saddened by how they knew virtually NOTHING about it. They talked about it as a "disease" that's caught at an early age, and how extensive therapy will make Autistic kids "recover."
Pretty much all they got right was some of the early signs.

Too much about autism focuses on the lower end of the spectrum. There is virtually nothing about AS.

They briefly mentioned AS, but half of what they said about it was false.

^ The article? There doesn't seem to be any videos, however.

The date is worth noting, however. I may have the wrong article.

Me either. Not that I ever watched it in the first place. It's on too early for me.
