Thanks for posting. That’s a very interesting & thought provoking clip. That lady is very impressive.
If they really want to jazz it up, they should have a character with Tourettes Syndrome:

Not Safe For Work or young children or those easily offended.
Anti-vaxers cross the political spectrum.
Yeah, I was surprised—being someone who is ignorant of autism and only hearing about the low-functioning examples—the movie about her was a revelation. Her mom made sure she spent quality time with her, and hired the right teachers, to get Temple to learn things so she could function.
How does a person exhibit Tourettes if they’ve never heard a curse word?
I’m waiting for one with Tourette’s Syndrome.

@$&( you Elmo!
“How does a person exhibit Tourettes if they’ve never heard a curse word?”
Good question. Who do you know that’s never heard a curse word? If there is such a person, I’m sure they’d come up with whatever passes for inappropriate speech in their world.
I suffer from Tourettes and you know I [****!] pretty much say what’s on my mind ...
So I had to go to court last week and I was a little worried. But everything [****] was going OK.
I was a witness.
They asked me to swear on a bible and that’s when all ****** ******* **** broke loose.
I volunteer to be the “voice talent” for that one.
LO%$#!!!L!
Still waiting for the Pseudobulbar Affect Muppet...
An agreement with HBO puts the series new first run episodes on that network, and they will run 9 months later on PBS. CTW sees the money in all this (and they reap millions as it is).
Since they’re going to HBO maybe the content will change...and it’ll be like the musical Avenue Q... (a Sesame Street spoof for adults with songs like “The Internet Is For Porn”)
What have you learned about the new stat that 68% of kids have autism?
One in 68. That’s less than 2%.
In my area “fake autism” is a way for parents to get some kind of disability money for their kids, who are completely normal (for only children that have been indulged too much). I’ve seen real autism as well; I couldn’t imagine how the parents do it. Seems very stressful.
Check out Dave Chapelle’s skit using muppet-type characters to show kids about venereal diseases - an absolute scream.
Serious question. Does a person who has autism recognize this in another person? Example...”I am autistic, and that person is like me and also autistic.” Would an autistic child recognize and identify with a cartoon character displaying the characteristics? (If not, then Sesame street is just being inclusive?)
I’m waiting for these people to volunteer to adopt them. So sanctimonious about disabilities. They don’t have a clue.
Doesn`t matter though, I read their rating have been dropping steadily and with any luck this children`s PC indoctrination effort gets cancelled soon.
BTW, have Bert and Ernie come out yet?
