I have the coolest friends ever.
Some of my very cool friends are working on the coolest project ever - Flummox and Friends, a live-action video series designed to help kids with social impairments develop the skills and understanding they need to navigate the complex world of peer relationship.
It's fast-paced. It's engaging. It's clever.
It's exactly what Bud - and millions of kids like him - need.
But my friends need your help. Please watch the video below. Then click on this link to give what you can to support this extraordinary project and help it come to life. Flummox and Friends will make a real difference in children's lives. It will make a difference in Bud's life.
Flummox and Friends will help reinforce the goals that we have for Bud and the skills that we are working so hard to help him develop. They'll help bolster his confidence, so that when he's ready to seek out meaningful interpersonal relationship with his peers, I know that he will succeed. And when he does - when his peers are really able to know the Bud that I know - when they have that sort of close, reciprocal connection with him that I have - I know exactly what they'll say:
"I have the coolest friend ever."
Please give what you can to help make it happen.

I literally laughed out loud when I watched that clip. My kids will LOVE this. The thought and experience and research that has gone into this is phenomenal. FANTASTIC. We HAVE to help make this happen.
I laughed too!
This project has to happen. My kids need this, but more importantly I need this for my kids. This will resonate with every parent. I've pledged my support and I cannot wait until this comes to life. Or rather live-action life.
You have amazing, intelligent, brilliant friends. That is no surprise, of course :)
I do indeed, Alysia. Present company included!
Wow. Just wow. All my kids would love this, not just my one with Aspergers. How can we make this happen?

Yes, absolutely yes! We've got to make this work. Once again, I'm amazed at what is possible!

Lab coats? A t-shirt featuring pi? Nerdy hairstyles?
Please.
The show seems well-intentioned but it stereotypes the intellectually gifted as haphazardously dressed and physically unattractive. Stereotypes aren't good for children.
The truth is that smart people tend to be taller and better-looking than average. Smart people also tend to dress well.
I'd give the Flummox trio a makeover. They can still be quirky wearing Westwood.
Thought of you when I read the (rave) review of Dierks' newest album in the Post this morning. I'll be a buyin' it.
