"Over a three-year period, Dateline chronicles the raw and emotional journeys of two New York-based young adults with autism and their families, as they transition from graduation to adulthood and make a leap towards an uncertain future. NBC News National Correspondent Kate Snow interviews two mothers who devote their lives to caring for their sons and help them find a voice."

Note it's about YOUNG adults with Autism, and they're interviewing the MOTHERS----but, I thought it might provide some insight / information.

NBC - 7PM, Eastern / 6PM Central

I have set my DVR to record it. Since it's NBC where Bob Wright was the former CEO and based on the previews I fear an hour long Autism Speaks infomercial, but I will reserve judgment until I see it.

This should be interesting.

They should interview the autistic people, though--in addition to the parents.

Let me know if you see any Scientology materials in the background.
