Day 32-- back to San Diego

We woke up at the Berle's and drove back to Stan's house (where we stayed the night before) because I forgot the GPS and more importantly, the Swiper Doll. I'm surprised we survived 24 hrs without it.

Anyway, we got on the road around 2:45pm and headed towards San Diego. It took us about 3 hours to get to the TACA meeting. TACA is an autism support group and our friend Julia was speaking. We also called Brent and he met us there.

It ended up that a News Crew from Channel 10 in San Diego came to do a story and wanted to interview Michael and I. I looked like I just rolled out of bed, but agreed. So, we ended up on the news that night in SD. They asked us about Michael Savage- who is a talk show host and said recently that 99% of children with autism don't really have the disorder and that they are "morons". Plus, parents are cold and unloving to their children and that's why they have autism. Seriously. It's unbelievable.

Anyway, the story came out nice and here is the link if you want to see it. http://www.10news.com/video/16961555/?taf=sand

Michael was really excited to be interviewed. He couldn't really answer all the guy's questions, but they did show a short clip of him. I don't think it will be Michael's last TV interview :)
