Autism In The Media
In honor of National Autism Awareness Month there are two shows airing tomorrow, April 22. The first I have discussed: Nick News with Linda Ellerbee will be focusing on the topic Private Worlds: Kids and Autism. The show will air on 4/22 at 8:30pm ET/PT on Nickelodeon; check your local listings for the broadcast station number.
Another show that will be on tomorrow is called After Thomas. After Thomas is based on the true story of the Gardner family who live in Scotland. The movie focuses on their son Dale’s (Kyle in the movie) bond with the family dog Henry (Thomas in the movie) and the trials and tribulations they face in an era where there wasn’t as much known about autism as their is now. Dale is now a 18 year old who has made tremendous growth when compared to the child depicted in the movie. This will air on BBC America at 8pm ET/PT.
I have my DVR set to record both shows and will give a follow-up review of them early in the week.
