From that letter:
..............................

"The January 17 airing of this CBS daytime talk show shared subject
material with another diagnosis, Tourette?s Syndrome, that we are
unqualified to judge. But from both a medical and ethical view, we
found the portrayal of AS to be disturbing."
..............................

TSA wants everybody to send them money AND do *their* work for them.

Have you contacted TSA to ask if/when they will respond to Dr. Phil?
Just a 'suggestion'. They need to hear this stuff from the very people that
criticize them for things...

C'mon, this has been discussed plenty, here. They ignore emails. I
read discussions about the Dr. Phil show at the Brain Talk site, and
at TSNW's site, and saw that people have been emailing them and, as
usual, the TSA has not been responding.

>They need to hear this stuff from the very people that

Mind telling me how in the world they can hear ANYTHING if they don't
listen.

They did offer to talk to me by phone a few years ago, and I'm
figuring that offer is still good even though I haven't taken them up
on it, yet. It's probably a one-time deal, so I want to make sure I
know everything I want to bring up. When I check to see the status of
issues I want to discuss, I come across new problems/issues.

I guess I need to stop trying to be prepared, and just call them,
already. But as far as this Dr. Phil show goes, let them first give
enough respect to people to answer their emails. At those discussion
sites, people have suggested contacting people who have inside
connections to the TSA, who could in turn contact TSA. It's looked to
me for a while that you no longer are on the TSA's enemy list, and I
know you have inside connections. Would you be willing to contact
them? They need to hurry, because now there's also NPR to deal with,
and the next thing you know, Bill O'Reilley will be jumping on the TS
trash bandwagon.

Hmmm....your silence is interesting. TSA people like the power of
information, and depend on their crew of semi-insiders to treasure it,
and not share it with just anybody.

I didn't see the Dr. Phil show, so I'm not the best person to contact
them, but I'll try if I don't hear something soon.

I lost some posts that I never saw, including this one. I have been in touch
with them. They are "on it" but I think people don't realize that a lot of
what they do is not always publicized...
