Not sure if this was posted some months back or not, but it didn't come up when I searched for VH1. I saw this for the first time last night and just about jumped out of my chair. I was quite angry to hear it.

It was a halfway decent empathy. At least they knew it as a developmental disorder rather than a disease. But then there's that key phrase. "Find a cure."
How about helping us live our lives the way we are instead?

just more hype generated by "Autism Speaks" I bet. I bet this money they are trying to raise will make it's way back to them.

They've been running that on VH1 classic for about a year now.

At leas they didn't sucker David Gilmour into doing it. I would've been very disappointed.

Why do some people always say "Suffers from.." To me suffering means to once have and now gone...

At the moment everyone is suffering the lack of a fur coat ... :lol:
