I found the following post on my TS list:

Next Sunday at 8:00pm Nickelodeon is doing a special on Autism as told by
siblings of autistic children. I just saw the commercial. how fantastic is
that! they are even spreading awareness to children on a children's TV
channel. I'm definitely going to tune in to see it. from the commercials
it looks like it is well done.

one quote from a sibling was "the one thing I want people to know about my
sister and autism is she is not mentally retarded. she is actually very
smart".

Another Autism related video:

Hi everyone,
Autism Speaks, our sponsoring organization for the Autism Awareness campaign created a music video of the Five for Fighting song, "World", which features images of autistic children and their families. It is a truly moving video and was the work of their Creative Director and our sponsor, Bill Shea.

The band is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks for each time the video is viewed and the winning charity will receive a special prize (there are several others on the site). When you have a moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it along to your friends and family. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal.
