I had heard the song a bunch of times, but I never knew there was a TV show based on it. I can definitely see why you think about it a lot. Based on what I thought the song was about all these years, it makes me think marijuana cures autism.
Edit: That's what I thought of, anyway. I didn't post a response at first because I thought it might be interpreted as either mean-spirited or advising morally derelict parenting. Having no children of my own I am in no position to advise anyone, and I certainly don't intend it that way. But then, I did a little looking around the net and found THIS. Maybe Peter, Paul, and Mary were on to something.

I would never take something like that as mean spirited.When I watch it,it kind of takes me away from the original intent of the song,to be a metifore for marijuana.I look at all the parallels between Jackie Draper and Liam.Thats almost word for word what every Autism expert we have taken him to has said in regards to him EVER talking.He is trying very hard to prove them all wrong.Liam even looks like Jackie Paper.

I have read a bunch about Marijuana as a possible future for Autism.I can't say that based on what effects we've seen right now,I wouldn't give it to Liam unless he got really aggressive.
