What a disappointment. Autism didn't speak, unfortunately. It was a show featuring parents of low-functioning children. No mention of Asperger's Syndrome nor a single high-functioning person on the show. People learning about autism for the first time will certainly get a skewed picture of the "spectrum." The spectrum was mentioned briefly.

A doctor debunked the vaccination association. Her child was high-functioning, but he wasn't on the show.

Shameful.
