Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I just watched a very interesting and amazing TV show tonight on 7:00 PM on Channel 20 (Comcast) called: Autism: Coming of Age (documentary 2011) Talked about person centered planning for individuals with Autism for when they age out of school: how it is cheaper and would provide a better quality of life for our family members. (sorry about this next piece of sarcasm - HELLO!!???!!) They highlighted 3 families. One young man likes to skate and the mom applied at a skating rink for him to give out and reshelve the skates. He is non-verbal but indicates that he is happy with what is being said - using hand gestures. I just called Comcast to ask when it will be re-played and the woman looked at the guide until April 25 and could not find it. Did anyone else see it? or tape it? I would LOVE for our congressmen to see it!!!!!! The credits thanked the Missouri Department of Developmental Disabilites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I watched the same program. Enjoyed it! We are going to try to put it on a DVD. We did DVR it and my husband told me we can put it on a DVD. I can have him make a couple and send one to you. Send me your address. cathybedard@...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Just watched the show last night (from DVR recording). About the fellow who got the full-time vacuuming job at the Marriott: wonder if I could clone him and have him visit my house weekly. I hate vacuuming!!
