The CBC recently aired a special presentation on Autism, March 17, 2009. It was an expose on how some Autistics view themselves and their particular condition. This was very insightful and educational.

  • I now have a better understanding of the auto-immune disease called Autism, and I thank you for that, it's very insightful.

    But I must say that I never viewed Autistic people as handicapped, or like Raymond Babbit.

  • Thank you for that. There is a whole community of autistic's that seldom get media coverage. I thought this video by the CBC was excellent in showing a different perspective - a necessary one.

    The character Raymond Babbit was based on a real life autistic by the name of Kim Peek.

  • Thanks, Darren! I'm adding this to my facebook. How is Derby? Thanks. Lori from The Gifts of Autism.

  • He's doing well....loves life. He's giving his best effort in everything he does and learning to direct his focus on tasks.

  • @jimmybrite Autism is not a disease. its a disorder. anything thats not part of your body that is killing you is a disease.

  • My son has autism... I love him son much because God choose him to be my son... Thanks my Lord for such a wonderful gift....

  • That girl is brilliant. She brought a lot of comfort to me with her words.

  • You're right, movies do show a narrow minded point of view.

  • Oh I believe it, but honestly, if I go by the movies I've watched like rain man or mercury rising with Bruce Willis, then it's a very narrow point of view.
