BBC/TLC Casting

A casting producer at the BBC for the TLC television program My Life as a Child is seeking children of all backgrounds and personalities from across the U.S. to film a video diary of their lives for approximately three months. Specifically, the producer wants to look into the life of a child whose sibling or parent has autism, to raise awareness.

This innovative documentary series aims to capture American life through the eyes of 7-11 year olds. Kids are trained to use the camera and are given the freedom to decide what to film and what to discuss!

Casting producer Claresa Mandola can be reached at 212-974-9050 x211 or [email protected]. ↓

Teach you child sign language. Autistic babies, toddlers, kids can learn this quickly and it cuts down their frustration in not being able to talk directly to you.

Legislation alert!!! Please search your state legislature site to see if they have enacted a bill to force insurance companies to provide coverage for treatment of autism. Most states allow insurance companies to exclude autism from their policies. Several states have proposed bills, but they have not gone to vote. My state, Michigan, has been sitting on this bill for 3 yrs and it doesn't look like it will be voted on any time soon. Write to your senators and let's get this done !!! :) ↑

This is a great website where parents of children with autism go and chat and post messages. The manager of the group has made a video of all the children in the group that have autism and it is truly beautiful! Hopefully you will check out the group! Autism Chat and Share with MSN groups ↑
