I just made the disturbing realization that a few of the clips of kids on some of the "funniest video" shows are ones who display classic ASD behaviors. Has anyone else ever noticed this? I recently watched one of a 3 or 4 year-old girl who was spinning in circles while flicking her fingers and then started to bang her head on the floor. Whoever taped it apparently thought it was cute. :roll:

The cranky kid at the birthday party video, in retrospect, seems like a child with an ASD. I don't find these videos cute, either. I stopped watching these video programs because I also got sick of seeing people taking it in the nuts. That's not funny!
