Tonight: Autism Awareness, on TV

Really short notice BUT...since April is Autism Awareness Month (and because several of us are home/unschooling kids who are on the spectrum), I wanted to let you all know about a couple of TV shows airing tonight.



Tonight, on BBC America (8:00): After Thomas


Also, tonight on Nickelodeon (8:30) Private Worlds: Kids and Autism



The Nick news bit is hosted by Linda Ellerbee, and there's a short bit of
the show on the link above. I'm Tivo-ing them both.

In the video clip, Linda Ellerbee says, "Autism is not a mental illness, it's not a choice, and it's not contagious'. Especially pertinent now that Cho Seung-Hui's family has revealed that he may have been Autistic.
