This morning at 8 am on Good Morning America the family with five autistic children was profiled.

The accompanying GMA story online

I liked the segment, it was part of their American Family series. Most likely the show was bumped from Monday to Tuesday because of weekend events that were covered on GMA.

They mentioned that all children have speech challenges, only one has the need for an aide at school and discusssed what their future care will be like.

The family is full of love and laughter. One issue I had was at the end when Robin Roberts referred to it as an illness. Both Robin and Charles Gibson praised the family.

Nice story. Anyone else see it and their thoughts?
