On Thursday, April 5, The Oprah Winfrey Show will devote a full hour to autism. Portions of Autism Speaks’ documentary, Autism Every Day, will be featured throughout the program, entitled The Faces of Autism. Several of the parents featured in the film, including Jesse Mojica, Katie Wright and Michele Pierce Burns, will participate in the show, along with Autism Speaks Co-founder Suzanne Wright. Other topics that will be addressed include teens with autism and the effect autism can have on siblings. In addition, the show will profile a pediatrician who specializes in the treatment of autism and is also the parent of two children on the spectrum. Check your local listings to find out when The Oprah Winfrey Show airs in your area. Also on April 5, Autism Speaks Co-founder Bob Wright will ring the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange in recognition of Autism Awareness Month.
I’m going to try to record the show so I can watch it later, uninterrupted!

I watched it. It was eye opening. But there were so many commercial breaks!
