Could you imagine TACA or Safe Minds taking this on? You'd have a child who was talking, smiling, giggling on the day the receive their vaccines. The next morning, the child is "in his own world," and the mother cries out "somebody took my son!" They are angry and devastated. ...<BR/>...<BR/>Over the weeks, the child would begin speaking and "coming back" to the family."<BR/><BR/>Not only would such a story line be factually abusive, but it would also be boring and trite.

While there is only one character identified as having autism the rest of the town is, shall we say, full of characters. The portrayal of the kid is a bit stereotypical but not offensively so. Then again he hasn't really had all that much screen time.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08521007829712936219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596809.post-29551426043406932382008-06-13T17:27:00.000-07:002008-06-13T17:27:00.000-07:00Sharon,I have not seen Eureka.

Have you noticed that you can turn the soaps back on, 10 years later, and almost pick up where you left off?? :) I remember watching Days as a kid (think a sitter must have watched it). A few months ago, I turned it on for old time's sake...Patch and Kayla were back, and all the other characters (half of which had died mind you!). Craziness! I may Tivo them, just to see. At least the first episode. I'll let ya know if I do!S.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07862458535714883672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596809.post-46667457590752150102008-06-13T11:36:00.000-07:002008-06-13T11:36:00.000-07:00Woah.

They too had an autistic boy. It is a coincidence that he is also african american? But what I find truly odd is that Eureka was about a town of uber geniuses and there was only 1 autisitc?Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525961989151537418noreply@blogger.com
