Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 TV SHOWS AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH Subject: Unlocking Autism - The Montel Show - Autism - April 12, 2001 On Thursday, April 12, 2001, The Montel Show will spend an hour discussing several issues regarding autism. The show features the Gallaghers from Brick Township, NJ, Aidan and Shelley Reynolds from Baton Rouge, LA and Didi Conn, who played Frenchy in the movie Grease. This is the first time that Mrs. Conn has gone public with her child's autism and she was absolutely fantastic! There were several people interviewed in the audience as well such as political officials from Brick Township, Sandy Levine, a behavioral therapist, and Dr. Jerrold Kartzinel, to name a few. Montel had really done his homework and was asking great questions and making great points! The show should be pretty comprehensive regarding autism awareness and covered just about every topic that there is from clusters of autism, genetic research, ABA, vaccines, diet, the increase throughout the country, the Congressional Autism Caucus, the Open Your Eyes project, congressional hearings to the cost of raising individuals with autism and how that figure impacts the general public. It covered just about everything you could imagine for the simple purpose of making the general public aware of autism spectrum disorders. Again, the show airs on April 12th, right in the middle of Autism Awareness Month, so check your local listings. As we receive more information, we will let you know.
