Dr. Phil's "Extreme Disorders"

Please go to side and click on Autism Edges blog for a review of Dr. Phil's good ol' Hollywood style. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the show, but am concerned about this sensationalist approaches to autism...who says disability doesn't pay? Dr. Phil is making loads!

Fortunately, a CTV program here in Canada called Vicki Gabereau interviewed Temple Grandin and the mother/author of Artism. It was inquisitive and intelligent.

Hey -- really like your view point on your blog posts here. How is it I did not find it till tonight? Ah, well, I do have a small, silly, perhaps snarky comment: Please do not blame "Hollywood" for Phil McGraw. He's pure Texas through and through! I've lived in both places, btw. In fact, Dallas in the 70s was more "Hollywood" than actual Hollywood ever was. Anyway, I digress, but just want to reiterate that I like the POV you've taken in addressing the primary subject matter of your blog.
