Here's the press release:

The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN)is pleased to announce the release of a new Public Service Announcement regarding the R-word and why it is such hateful speech. This commercial was produced by Christschool, a talented video maker who is both an autistic self-advocate and a father of an autistic son, and features a professional voice actor.

We are working on getting this video out to as many people as possible, and would love it if other members of the coalition would do the same by posting it on their websites, encouraging members to e-mail it to others, etc. The video can be found here:

We are hoping for the video to get so many views that when people enter in “Tropic Thunder” as a search, this video comes up as one of the top results. Thank you.
