Re: Thoughts on Oprah's Show?

[Guest guest]

I agree .

I also agree that this first show was a prelude for more shows. Autism is

just now becoming " mainstream " and the reputation of Autism is what we saw

today on Oprah.

I too wish they had done some on Asperger's, but, at least the word is now

really getting out about this. Hopefully this will launch even more shows,

more studies, and more awareness, where as Asperger's will also come to the

public.

and I watched it together. She said she wants to write to

Oprah and tell her to do a show on kids with Asperger's syndrome,

because she's nothing like any of the kids on that show, and she's

autistic too!

At the same time, I think she did learn a lot from it... I asked her

to watch closely that 8 year old girl having the tantrum at the

playground, and ask her how her mother must feel... And then reminded

her of yesterday... She got very quiet and suddenly needed a snack.

And for yet a third perspective... Oprah herself said she was amazed

at herself for never having done a show on such a prevalent disorder.

Perhaps that means this was the bare basics intro, and she'll do more

in the future.

We can only hope.

I think has a very good idea about writing to Oprah, maybe that will

inspire her to have another show about the other areas of the spectrum.

It sounds like she did learn something from it, that's good to hear! I tried

to get my kids to watch it, but h was napping because she's not

feeling well and Trey....well, Trey was off busy being Trey lol Cory did

watch it, off and on, he has ADHD so it was a bit long for his attention

span, but he did try so I gotta give him credit lol

I agree .

I still think little had a great idea. I am going to write Oprah and

see if I can get Trey to write a little letter too in his own words. Maybe

if we all write she will do it. I'm sure there are others all over who are

feeling the same way.

Non Rule out cognitive disorder and impulse control

disorder,

tears mostly Im still in some odd twightly Zone where

i can force myself into the false reality of this is

all a dream and I will wake up, My son will be Normal

again , but watching other kids seeing the parents

saying the same things i feel or decribing the same

behaviors , The jumping up and down non stop the head

banging the " stimming " the lack of toilet trainning

its all so much to take in and honestly hits me like a

brick im forced to face this is NOT a dream this is

reality i am living this my son is living this, as

well are my other children. *sigh* i just cant seem to

be like other parents i cant get to the final

acceptace place where its ok , its not so bad because

in side im still saying NO this isnt right its not its

not its not! why am i not so accepting its been almost

4 years since the word Autism was said to me so whats

wrong with me??

I watched the nightline online and it was very emotional for me. While my DS was

DX in Jan. it seems to have just sunk in. Watching that show made me feel a

little better but i am not looking forward to middle school for my son. Anyone

else watch Nightline?

I watched it last night and again online. That was really a great piece. My

son still has not gotten to Middle School (hes only 6). But I see my little guy

in those boys. It makes my heart break for him even more. However, he is such

a joy. He still doesnt understand or get hurt by the other kids that I know

tease him. It happened again today, but it was just another sentence about his

day to him. Our kids are sooooo amazing.

I agree. My daughter was dx'ed with autism, not

Aspergers, but speaks well and appears normal much of

the time... at least at her age. It seems that the

show did not show the spectrum as it really is... with

children who vary widely.

I was very excited to see the topic for Oprah's show today, but was

I thought the Oprah show was ok. I thought it was interesting how some of the

mom's said when they go out into public people are judgemental and that's been

very true for us. We get out all the time and I have learned to deal with

people. People are against what they do not understand. No one knows what we do

on a daily basis and how we strieve each day for that improvement that our

children make. They are so special to us and we love them that's why we do what

we have to in order to help them have a brighter and happier life.

You have a great idea! Let's encourage our members to write Oprah's producers

asking them to highlight Aspergers on a show. So many people watch Oprah, it

would be a great way to educate America on our AS issues.

I haven't seen it yet but am going to watch her at 1AM. Sounds

Oh LMAO!!! I've noticed that before, there's some kind of crease

running down that side of her face too. LOL, but don't get me wrong,

I like Oprah.

I agree!! If I have Aspergers (and I probably do) I'd sure like to

let people in the world know that it DOES exist and it can be a

problem for us. It would be nice to have people be a little more

understanding of my weird ways, LOL. But more importantly for all of

the kids who will suffer with the same issues growing up.
