Larry King Show This Thursday - Autism

I learned from A Bishop's Wife at The Pentecostal Pariah that there is going to be a show about autism on Larry King Live this week. Her post says the show is on tonight, but according to the show's website it will be on Thursday evening (perhaps Michelle Obama's appearance pushed the Autism show further into the week?).



This is what Larry King's website is saying about the upcoming "Autism Show":







The heartbreak ...and hope of autism. Jason "J-Mac" McElwain inspired the world
with his incredible shot-making at a high school basketball game. Larry talks to
the teen and others about the disorder. Holly Robinson Peete, Doug Flutie and
Toni Braxton join the discussion to bust myths and present breakthroughs. It's
an uplifting hour with those who know!

I wanted to bring this to your attention for two reasons: first, so that you can watch it if you are able to; second, so that you can contact the show to e-mail in any questions you might want to have them ask the guests. If you go to the website for Larry King's show there is a link to send an e-mail for Thursday's show.


Do you think there's any chance of them putting some other points of view on the show besides the typical celebrity "autism is a tragedy" type shows we have seen in the past on Larry King?

Interesting, I posted this information on my blog as well. I hope that it would enlighten people as to what autism is and I hope that people watch it and email in their questions.

I hope someone will tape it so I can see it.

AspieMom - They put video highlights on the show's website, so maybe you'll get to see at least some of it that way.
