Near the end of the speech, introduce your two friends: I, like Johnny Depp, often inspire hysteria which evolves into rushing and touching. We don't like that. So let me introduce you two my two friends, Bubba and Marko, they are here to keep me safe from my fans."<br /><br />Maybe you can enlist local kids when you speak at schools. Give them sun glasses and a t-shirt that says, "Security: Ido Productions". Kids have a kick, audience learns a lesson, you have security... Good luck.Roger Thishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912734391350127832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7223419216614966652.post-88247791837968429592011-04-10T20:32:51.741-07:002011-04-10T20:32:51.741-07:00Thanks.

Can you tell your audie...Ido, your work is amazing. Can you tell your audience at the end of your speech that if they appreciate your words and work, they should write to you rather than talk to you and touch you at the end of your presentation, because such attention for an autistic person results in sensory overload? It would liberate you from anxiety about this happening after your talks, give your admirers a way to express their appreciation, and further educate them about what it means to have autism. Just a thought :) thank you for the inspiration and for all that you do!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275097887254456115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7223419216614966652.post-91774792734777887232011-04-08T10:18:27.818-07:002011-04-08T10:18:27.818-07:00I know that things did not end the way you had hop...I know that things did not end the way you had hoped they would, but I heard your speech went very well, and that you were a huge success!
