My Class Projects

I have to do a project for my Special Education class. It has to do with media's portrayal of special needs children. I think I have an angle worked out...media leaves out the less glamorous or newsworthy disabilities? Maybe? There has been so many movies/TV shows/news stories about high functioning autism/down syndrome/savants etc...What about the others?

I have Forrest Gump, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and The Other Sister...I also have a handful of news stories about vaccines and autism.
