Suzanne Wright, cofounder of AutismSpeaks will appear on ABC's "The View", at 11am tomorrow. If anyone is interested. She is the wife of Bob Wright, president of NBC, whose grandson has aspergers.

I might have watch this it has been a while since I have watched the View.

I rarely watch Network TV; only PBS. Thanks for letting us know. I'm gonna watch it.

Get ready for another round of PR smear.

So was there anyone brave enough to actually sit through an entire episode of The View. who could give us some idea about what the episode was like?

I know Meredith Vieira's style very well, as she is the host of the syndicated daytime "Who Wants to be a Millionaire."

I guess I should have recorded it. I figured it would be total crap and did not bother.

I Tivo'd it, so I was able to skip through the opening "chat" and get to the Autism portion. There was no real information presented - just the lady promoting the AutismSpeaks website, repeating the usual talk of how it's a growing epidemic that destroys families, how there's no proof that vaccines don't trigger Autism, etc. No mention of anything non-negative or hopeful other than help that could come as a result of giving sufficient money to their organization.

There was one point where she mentioned one of the early signs is the fact that the child doesn't make eye contact and there was this collective sad sigh from the panel.

Oh, ok. So I did not miss anything. Thanks for the quick summary.
