Re: Autism Awareness Re: The United States of Leland

[Guest guest]

, that is an awesome flyer. Can I use it? I will definitely be at the movie

theater on friday with lots of flyers to pass out.

Kerbob, sorry. I must have misunderstood it. There was a petition going to get

the movie stopped. I forwarded the petition to a bunch of people and was told

that is was already stopped.

Is anyone actually going to go see the movie?

Going back to Debi's original thought re: Autism Awareness Month, what if people

printed out fliers and distributed them at the theaters that said something

like:

WHAT LELAND DIDN'T KNOW

Autism is now diagnosed in 1:166 people. Five years ago it was only diagnosed

in 1:500 people. This is an epidemic.

Some statistics show that autism is present in 1:69 families

If it hasn't happened already, soon someone you know will have this diagnosis

Autism is now the #1 developmental disorder

Autism is a treatable biological disorder

Testing for heavy metals, viral issues, and chromosomal disorders can lead to

effective treatment

Many children are losing their diagnoses (see ;

; RecoveredKids )

Symptoms of autism include delayed speech and social skills and stereotypical

behaviors, but these symptoms may be mild, moderate or severe. Some autistic

children are very bright. Some are very affectionate.

Early diagnosis is crucial for positive treatment outcome. If you know a child

with the above symptoms, have them screened by a developmental pediatrician.

April is Autism Awareness Month. If we don't do something soon, we will lose an

entire generation of children. Think of the impact this will have on society.

Re: [ ] " The United States of Leland "

It is my understanding that the film was to be made public a year or so ago,

but protesters got it stopped. I may be wrong though.

Has anyone heard about a new movie entitled " The United States of

caption of an AP news photo it states:

" The film is the story of a sensitive teenager, who is faced with

difficult issues after he is arrested and sent to juvenile hall, for

killing an autistic child out of sympathy. "

I viewed a trailer located at:

http://www.moovees.com/trailers/united-states-of-leland.html

The trailer basically repeated " It's OK, we all make mistakes " over

and over again. I figure this is just a subtle attempt to somehow

condition society. I'd like to know who backed this picture.

I've always been aware of the " Fonzi Factor " that Hollywood has over

the minds of gullible viewers.

Of course you can use it!!! In fact, if anyone wants to send me info for the

" Resources " section, I'd appreciate it. I'm out of touch with what groups are

pro-biological intervention. I tried not to get too political re: vaccines,

etc...But thought maybe a SECOND flier talking more specifically about research

would help those who are searching for that kind of info...

THANKS!

That makes me sick. There is absolutely nothing beautiful about such a movie.

What would be " beautiful " would be an admission by pharmaceitical companies and

government agencies about the mercury issues - that would be truely BEAUTIFUL,

because then we could move on and concentrate on treatment.

The rumors about this movie plans had circulated a while ago.

Yesterday, on E! TV channel, the starring actor called it (the

movie) " a beautiful thing " during the announcement. :-(((

Another idea we just did today was call your local paper and talk to the movie

reviewer. Our paper's movie critic knows several families like us and he said

that he will screen the movie will our position in mind. He also said that the

movie was suppose to open up here where we are April 2nd, but it's now pushed

back to the 16th. He said that usually that's a black flag that something's

going on.

Consider it done - I didn't even think about that.

Thanks, Debi.
