Interview with the Cast of Parenthood from NBC - Autism Talk TV 18
Posted on Saturday, December 17 @ 13:25:11 EST by
Alex got the exclusive at the Autism Walk in Los Angeles, CA. He interviews the cast of NBC's hit show Parenthood, starring Peter Krause, Lauren Graham, Dax Shepard, and Monica Potter. Parenthood's creator, Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights), has a son with Asperger's / Autism.
Max Braverman is an autistic character in the show. Parenthood covers issues surrounding the parenting of someone on the autism spectrum. This includes things such as obsessions, meltdowns, and issues with social skills. Alex talks with the cast (Monica Potter, Max Burkholder, Sarah Ramos, Miles Heizer, and Jason Ritter) about Autism, acting, and NBC's hit show Parenthood!

It seems to me like most of these people are saying what is politically correct and nothing more. Half of them look completely uninterested. Why give an interview if you're not going to bother to mentally be there?
For clarification, I'm talking about the interviewees. I hope it wasn't really the case, but if it was I'm sorry. They don't look like they care at all.

Cool, I watch the show. I sometimes think they overdo the worrying Mom thing but maybe NT Mom's are more like that. Since Im an Aspie too its hard judge and I think Im more laid back and accepting of a lot of things. I do understand worrying though and loved the episode where the Mom confronts some of his bullies, that would be something I would do ;). I think Max does well "acting" as though he is autistic and I like that they show that he is learning so people will understand that we can learn to start controlling our meltdowns deal with our anxiety and even to learn to think of others (empathize). I like the show a lot, I like the whole family and the dynamics of the family. There are interesting and amusing characters in the entire show. Great interview Alex :)!

I'm glad to see an increase in awareness about AS but I am also concerned about the stereotypes that are being reinforced. Aspies are not all the same. For example I was a very calm and quiet kid that never had "external" meltdowns. Since being diagnosed at 53 years old I find myself having to persuade some people that the lack of one characteristic or another is not proof that I am "normal" and that I just don't want to "fit in." I am interested in finding ways to show our diversity to the NT world so that, rather than trying to cure us, they might see the advantage in having a few of us around when they need us. Any thoughts out there?

I'm really surprised more people aren't upset about this. This is exactly what is wrong with the media stereotype of autism/AS. It's all about the external view of AS- how it looks to people who don't have it. The emphasis needs to start being on what it is like to experience it, instead of talking about how hard it is to deal with people who have it. I mean, if you are the parent of an autistic child, especially one with AS and not a more "severe" form, and the thing that strikes you most about it is their meltdowns, that's really insulting. Aspies do more than melt down, require patience, and act as "positive experiences" for NT's.
It really is painful for me, an Aspie, to hear that the NT's in my life are apparently "being patient" and putting up with me.

Great interview, Alex.
I have watched every episode of this show and really am glad it's on.
To the person who mentioned the 'worrying mother' aspect of Max's mom - I believe it's because she totally has AS herself. It strikes me as perplexing how so many of her age group think these 'newly diagnosed kids' just fell out of the air. They didn't. The diagnosis is more prevalent as it's being recognized more now, but it really does run in families. If your kid has it, take a good look at yourself.
Strikes me as funny to see parents stimming or obsessing on and on while complaining about their 'special' kid while they assume they are NT just because they have never been labeled officially by a doctor.
I love that this show has a Aspie as not only a cast member but a regular. Some story lines are totally about him and most are just regular family with him there - just like life.

Each parent needs to love to listen to the voice of a child's heart, the external and internal will be moved to the child.

OK, I'm lucky in the fact that I have no problems reading people, I don't have that component of aspergers. I thought that most of us did? how have so many other people caught on to the fact that these guys are not caring? Well I'm kinda new, maybe we have a greater neurotypical population here than I thought, relatives of aspergers etc.

We have not limited our coolest soccer cleats [www.soccersshoes.com] to public forums and public statements. I recognized in January that a long and bitter war like this usually cannot be settled in a public forum. That is why in addition to the public statements and negotiations, nike mercurial black [www.soccersshoes.com] have explored every possible private avenue that might lead to a settlement. Tonight, I am taking the unprecedented step of disclosing to you some of our discount soccer cleats [www.soccersshoes.com] for peace, initiatives we undertook privately and secretly because we thought we thereby might open a door soccer cleats on sale [www.soccersshoes.com] which publicly would be closed. I did not wait for my inauguration to begin my quest for peace. Soon after my election, through an individual who was directly in contact on a personal basis adidas f50 adizero orange [www.soccersshoes.com] with the leaders of North Vietnam, I made two private offers for a rapid, comprehensive settlement. Hanoi’s replies called in effect for our adidas f50 tunit boots [www.soccersshoes.com] before negotiations. Since the Soviet Union furnishes most of the military equipment for North Vietnam, Secretary of State Rogers, black adidas football shoes [www.soccersshoes.com] for national security affairs, Dr. Kissinger, ambassador Lodge and I personally have met on a number of occasions with representatives of blue soccer cleats [www.soccersshoes.com] to enlist their assistance in getting meaningful negotiations started. In addition, we have had extended discussions directed toward that same end with representatives of other online soccer shoes [www.soccersshoes.com] which have diplomatic relations with North Vietnam. I received Ho Chi Minh’s reply on august 30, three days before his death. It simply reiterated soccer cleats [www.soccersshoes.com] had taken at Paris and flatly rejected my initiative. The full text of both letters is being released to the press. In addition to the public meetings that I have referred to, nike mercurial white [www.soccersshoes.com] has met with Vietnam’s chief negotiator in Paris in 11 private sessions. HYD

No one is more aware than I am of the political consequences of the action I have taken. louis vuitton discount [www.designerbagfactory.com] is tempting to take the easy political path, to blame this war on previous administrations, and to bring all of our louis vuitton outlet [www.designerbagfactory.com] immediately -- regardless of the consequences, even though that would mean defeat for the United States; to desert 18 million South Vietnamese people who have put their trust in coach handbags [www.designerbagfactory.com]; to expose them to the same slaughter and savagery which the leaders of North Vietnam inflicted on hundreds of thousands of North Vietnamese who chose coach outlet online [www.designerbagfactory.com] when the Communists took over North Vietnam in 1954. I would rather be a one-term president and do what I believe was right than to be a two-term President at the cost of seeing chanel bags store [www.designerbagfactory.com] become a second-rate power and to see this nation accept the first defeat in its proud 190-year history. discounted chanel bags [www.designerbagfactory.com] realize in this war there are honest, deep differences in this country about whether we should have become involved; that there are differences to how juicy couture bags [www.designerbagfactory.com] should have been conducted. Tonight, I depart from that precedent. What I ask is far more important. I ask for your support for our brave juicy couture outlet [www.designerbagfactory.com] fighting tonight halfway around the world, not for territory, not for glory, but so that their younger brothers and their sons and your sons can have a chance to grow up in gucci handbags outlet [www.designerbagfactory.com], and freedom, and justice. The answer of the enemy has been intransigence at the conference table, belligerence at Hanoi, massive military aggression in Laos and Cambodia and burberry bags for sale [www.designerbagfactory.com] attacks in South Vietnam designed to increase american casualties. This attitude has become intolerable. We take burberry wallets outlet [www.designerbagfactory.com] not for the purpose of expanding the war into Cambodia, but for the purpose of ending the war in Vietnam.zxj

It is often said that louis vuitton monogram have nine lives, that they are lucky enough to escape from danger again and again. Here is a science fiction tale about how one such lucky escape by a cat led to a discovery that was able to change the course of louis vuitton Antheia. The problems stemming from the discovery also make interesting reading. Somebody someday will make a study of the influence of animals on history. Among them, Mrs. Graham's cat should certainly be included in any such study cheap louis vuitton online. It has now been definitely established that the experiences of this cat led to the idea of quick-frozen people. We must go back to the files of the Los Angeles newspapers for 1950 to find lv monogram handbags. She suspected no connection between the two events. The cat was not to be found until six days later, when its owner went to fetch something from the deepfreeze. Much as she loved her pet, we may imagine that lv monogram bags was more horror-than grief-stricken at her discovery. She lifted the little ice-encased body out of the deep--freeze and set it on the floor. Perhaps it is unfair to pull all the responsibility on one louis vuitton outlet. Had such a thing happened anywhere else in the country, it would have been talked about, believed by a few, disbelieved by most, and forgotten. But it happened in Los Angeles. There, and probably only there cheap lv monogram, the event was anything but forgotten; the principles it revealed became the basis of a hugely successful business. The Zeritskys were businessmen, first and last. Anyone who had the fee could put himself lv monogram purses away for whatever period of time he wished, and no questions asked, The ironclad rule was that full payment had to be made in advance. Law enforcement agents, looking for fugitives from justice lv uk, found no way to break down this system, nor any law which they could interpret as making it illegal to quick-freeze. Perhaps the truth is that they did not search too diligently for a law that could be made to apply lv us. As long as the Zeritskys kept things quiet and did not advertise or attract public attention, they could safely continue their bizarre business. ZHC
