I'd like to participate in that. :) I need to plan out what I'm going to say for the video, and make sure that it stays within the 30 second time limit.

There's a thirty-second time limit?

Yeah...a lot of them are more like a minute or something.

I found one that made me chuckle a little bit. There was a Rabbi who said "Put a tzedakah [charity] box in their room, and they'll remind everyone to put something in," because that's something that they teach to young children in synagogues; that you're supposed to give three percent of everything you earn no matter what, and I distinctly remember bugging my parents to put something in.

I think some of them are done pretty well; I hope CNN picks ones where functioning people speak as well as ones where parents speak.

I won't do it, but I appreciate seeing descriptions of what it's like for my fellow autistics.
