This makes me so mad. They made a song about how just being his friend basically makes you a saint. Someone lowering themselves to say "hello" and sit with him is so "beautiful." Way to be inclusive. I was a socially awkward kid with no friends or partners in anything. I had a teacher legitimately clap and say, "Thank-you, you're a good person" to someone when they agreed to a forced partnership with me. It really gets you down and makes you feel even less wanted. These people are assholes and their song is horrible in every way.

This is so stupid. They all laughed WAY too hard when Graham said the song was too sad. He was just saying how he felt. And Graham barely got any attention. I'm sure when Zach sat with Graham at lunch he didn't think he was going to be put on live tv, he just wanted to help Graham out. But no, the parents need attention and to say "oh wow my kid is just so great." Zach did a nice thing, Graham was happy, that's all there is to it. So many kids have done something like Zach has done, I don't understand why Zach's mom thought he was any more special.

the internet Is it that hard to understand? No one is asking you to treat anyone with any kind of illness in any way---- we have doctors for that. Your contradiction is precisely what is going on here- an attempt to treat a kid 'special,' by making a mockery of his condition to boost viewership. They turn a kid who deserves to be treated in no 'special' way at all-- good or bad-- into a pity case circus sideshow. Listen to some of the lyrics of this song. "they're angels in disguise..." WTF are they on? The kid is probably thinking "No dumb bitch, I'm a kid and I go to school and I mind my own business." A major point also is that not only is he developmentally challenged, he's a child. Even if he didn't have autism he'd believe his mother was doing the right thing by parading him out here, because that's the way nature works- you tend to trust your mother, of all people, has your best interests in mind. Empathy is not only not 'treating' anyone in any way, it is really easy to do. On one end of the spectrum you have truly evil people who probably make this kid the punchline of every joke, and on the other end you have kooky dolts like KLG highlighting his misery as he is forced to swallow it and pretend to play along. This kid didn't ask for any of this-- how do you know he's not already aware that the world hasn't dealt him the same cards as paris hilton? The only reason the story got out is because the other kid's mom (the star football player) called Kathie Lee GIfford's show and bragged about how her 'handsome, popular son befriended an autistic kid who sat alone at lunch, going on and on about how great of a son she has..etc." By this kid's age, you become aware that to some, he's a pariah. He was forced on there by an idiot mother... you can tell 2 seconds in that he would rather be stuck in a sewer somewhere than be surrounded by those cackling hens. He didn't need to be humiliated on TV for him to learn this life lesson that apparently you think he doesn't already experience every day.

Okay, speaking as someone who has an autism spectrum disorder, I feel like they went completely overboard with this. First, they act as if he can't even comprehend whats going on, let me tell you, he really can, maybe even better than others. Second, the guy decided to sit next to him, yes, that may have made an impact on him, but you don't blow things completely out of proportion and write some dramatic song about it, and finally, they need to LISTEN to him. He obviously seemed uncomfortable with the situation, and he even said the song was really sad. They almost seemed to rub it in his face that he had a lonely life. No one wants that. Everytime a tv show that stereotypes autism spectrum disorders comes on, it get rubbed in my face and sometimes loads me with so much guilt that I cry (because who really wants to have their flaws they know about themselves mocked over and over again?). This is my problem with learning disabilities. They're either mocked in mainstream media, or they're seen as a problem that needs to be 'fixed' or 'dealt with'. We're not broken, we just think differently than most people do. Okay......end rant. Sorry.

As an Aspie myself this is both hilarious and degrading. It's always nice to see these popular, attractive, able-bodied/minded BMOC's receive a hero's welcome because they were willing to take one for the team, travel to the dregs of the school hierarchy and actually befriend one of us special ed losers. Congratulations, Graham! You've hit the Holy Grail that all of us Aspies dream of. You get to be yet another entry on a privileged kid's brag sheet!! Yay!!

I am inspired by Zach's act of kindness, but I am disgusted by this program. Having been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism, which is very similar to Asperger's syndrome, I know that I would be very uncomfortable if I were in Graham's situation. These ladies made three horrible mistakes. 1. They spoke to the boy like he was mentally handicapped. This is so degrading and offensive to autistic people, because autism and mental retardation are not the same! 2. They laughed when he said the song was too sad. He most likely made this comment in all seriousness. Laughing about a comment that comes across as odd is one of the best ways to make an autistic person feel horrible. 3. That song was just awful! Of course, this is all from my personal perspective, and I could be totally wrong about how that boy felt during this show. But either way, those ladies were acting very insensitively, and he looked visibly uncomfortable in this video, and at all the points where I would have been so also.

This is surreal. It seems like it should be a sequence in a fever dream where you're a kid who just sad down with a kid who was alone and now everyone is praising you and making you seem like the second coming of christ. And not only does that make you uncomfortable, but the kid with you is being talked to like a child and a song is sung about how alone he is and he begins to cry. And you're waiting for something to just hit you and put you back in that seat in the cafeteria a few weeks before.

This brings me right back to my childhood. I was a shy kid and distinctly remember my parents menopausal old friends laughing when I got nervous or tongue tied and speaking like I either wasn't in the room or was too young and stupid to be self-aware. It often just made me flustered and teary eyed which made them patronize me even more. Even though I don't have autism (at least I don't think so) I remember how much it hurt to be treated like I was a house pet when I just wanted people to be patient and treat me like a human being. This kid probably never forgot about these old cows.

I was one of these kids. I'm on the spectrum. I sat alone at lunch. I had only one friend. I never was picked for group projects. But what was 10x worse was when people would treat me like this, like a little kid. It was disgusting how patronizing Kathie Lee was to Graham, calling him "sweetie" and "buddy". He can understand what you're saying normally, Kathie, he is sixteen years old, not sixteen months old. These people will never know what it's like to be treated like you are stupid by your peers and not knowing why. And how they gave the other kid a gift basket just for stepping down the social hierarchy and sitting with one of the special ed losers at lunch as if he made some kind of heroic sacrifice, with nothing in it for Graham except the Cubs tickets, which he had to take the jock to anyway. These Television Bimbos only did this to make themselves look good, not for the benefit of anyone else.
