Autism awareness on Millionaire...

Post Reply New Topic

I slept through my TV waking me up this morning, and when I woke up, Who Wants to be a Millionaire was on, and this woman was at $25,000. She said that her child has a developmental disorder, and she was going to put the money towards a daycare that would specialize in speech and other forms of therapy for children on the spectrum, and went on to clarify a few things about autism. Being half-asleep, I didn't catch whether she was contributing towards an already functioning daycare, or starting this herself, or what, but she made it to $50,000 and walked with it.

I thought that was really awesome of her, and a very cool idea.

I didn't know Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was still on these days. I was an avid fan of the show back when Regis Philman hosted it, but after he retired it got kicked off of primetime, and I didn't feel like chasing after it, so I stopped watching.

Yeah, it's that Meredith chick now.

Idunno if it's repeats, but it's on just about every day.

It was indeed a new episode.

Yes, Meredith Vieira is the host now.

It turns out that the lady who advocated for the day care won $50,000! That's enough money to get one for sure!

Interesting story and idea to do.

$50,000 is a lot of money, even though it seems like peanuts knowing the number of big-money game shows that are on now!

don't forget all these other sytems that do anything but steel money i'm looking at you taxes.

Thats great!

This world has changed, hasn't it?
