Most outdoor advertising is designed to be viewed in a second or less as motorists whiz by. Here’s an example of how one advertiser turned that idea upside-down to create a fully interactive billboard:As shown in the video, [...] CommentsI thought of pollution, too.

I applaud the York, PA chapter of ASA for its quick and reasonable response. I believe them when they say they meant no harm, and salute them for being open to considering other voices from the "family."----------------------------------Dear Friends in the Autism Community,Regretfully it has been brought to the attention of the Autism Society of America – York Chapter – that our recent billboard campaign has caused undesirable confusion within the community.

Voila! you've got a nice souvenir shot to send home!

The billboard that was subsequently taken down by the ad agency hosting it? Well, it’s traveled West, to St. Louis, Missouri. From a PETA press release today: In light of two scientific studies that link milk consumption to autism in children, PETA will be displaying a new billboard parodying a ubiquitous milk ad. The ad shows a bowl of milk and cereal next to the tagline “Has Your Child Got Autism? Learn About the Link Between Autism and Dairy Products at PETA.org.” The bad news is that data from a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that metropolitan St. Louis’ rate of 7.3 cases of autism per 1,000 8-year-old children is one of the highest among the 14 areas ...

Today’s PhysOrg quotes the leader of the research, Dr. Maggie Shiffrar, professor of psychology: Almost all people possess some autistic tendencies, explains Shiffrar, but her research shows that those with the fewest autistic tendencies “are best at detecting the weak signals provided by body movement.” Thus, people with very few autistic tendencies are the best at interpreting emotion from body movement. Working with test participants under a $750,000 grant from the Simons Foundation, Shiffrar has discovered that people with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to view other people and objects alike. It is as if they view the world through...

Reports that dairy consumption might be linked to autism have spurred this ad campaign, according to The Peta Files: Testimonials suggest that some people with this devastating disease may be able to find relief by simply removing milk from their diet. There’s a whole world of information out there for parents and for women who are pregnant or nursing about how to raise their kids dairy-free. Be an informed consumer and check it out! *The Newark area had the highest rates of autism occurrence among 14 states studied in one report. Aside from the “devastating disease” phrase which reinforces the view of autism as some dreadful disease, PETA should note that Newark is one among a f...

The problem? Their “edgy” advertising may have gone too far and alienated the very parents they were seeking to provide outreach to. The New York Times has the story in today’s paper. They note how parents of autistic children, led by folks like Autism Vox, have created an online petition to object to the ad campaign. What’s the problem? Well, the wording of some of the ads, to begin with. The autism ad reads, We have your son. We will make sure he will not be able to care for himself or interact socially as long as he lives. This is only the beginning. –Autism Or...
