You know how production houses get people to pay big bucks for box office hits? They pay Millions for Publicity & Buzz. These days buzz is free....

At this point we are not really releasing any specifics... Just get people connecting the date & Questions... Here are a few example tweet & Status updates.

Temple Grandin's new movie about her life. She is very inspiring!! But, I would pray for my daughter to have her autism and not the non-verbal, diaper wearing one. They need to make a movie about the struggles of severe autism, the tougher unseen side that no one likes to talk about or show. This movie will make the general public think that autism ain't that bad. Why are these parents complaining? Your kid will grow up and get a PhD. I fear that people will get the impression that autism is no big deal. It is!! Let me make this clear, autism is catastrophic and devastating!!

Talking to the media is not one of my favorite things to do, in fact it is pretty close to the bottom. But someone has to do it and in Milwaukee I seem to be the go to person for autism and vaccine stories.

Registration for the Autism One / Generation Rescue 2010 "Autism Redefined" Conference is open!

Does your Aspergerchild seem irritated and wound up in windy weather? It's a common phenomena in children with Aspergers and Autism, and is caused from the Sensory problems they experience.
