"Autism Speaks" creator on Oprah

Kristina Chew at Autism Vox reports that Oprah will feature "The Faces of Autism" on April 5 (tomorrow), except those faces will be filtered through the lens of guest Suzanne Wright, co-founder of Autism Speaks. For those unfamiliar, Wright's organization is responsible for the video "Autism Every Day," which will also be featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show. The video was released in May 2006 and features a mother saying in the presence of her autistic child that she thinks about killing that child.

You can read about the reactions of autistic folks to this video here, here, and here.

Oh, Oprah.
