5. Drew Carey
Drew Carey may not be the first name that one associates with “sexy” but he was clearly appalled that the Ice Bucket Challenge Attack took place in his home town. He then posted via twitter that if the Cleveland Police Department want to start a reward fund then he will donate $10k. Other celebrities including Jenny McCarthy, Donnie Wahlberg and Montel Williams. It is not clear how much publicity this story would have achieved on its own, but Carey made sure that it went national.
Thank you Drew.
When Maymay, our residence autistic film critic, found out that her absolute favorite character, Spike, was at the Philly ComicCom last year…well, she was VERY excited to speak with him. You have to admit, Spike was hot. Turns out, James Marsters is one hell of an awesome guy and was more than willing to spend some time talking with Maymay about Buffy, and life in general. Particularly he talked about bullying and shared his own story with Maymay.
” You have to have hope. Don’t give up hope. Don’t give up. You can’t give up on yourself. You’re incredible. Remember that. People think you can pick on someone because they are different or smaller.”
While this is one story that had no video to go viral, it was one of our very popular stories last year.
Thank you James.

Carrying on with Autism’s sexiest celebrity men of 2014 and your chance to vote for your own celebrity number two on my list is:
Griffin goes to YouTube several times a day, types in Bublé, and picks his favourite videos. He sleeps with Bublé playing all night, and his therapists and parents have discovered that his music is incredibly calming when Griffin is overwhelmed or needs a sensory break. Mr Bublé’s music, and performances, truly speak to this remarkable little boy and has added so much to his life.
When Michael Bublé heard about this young man, he recorded this special message and song. This story continues to get tweeted from our site.
Thank you Michael.
Peter Capaldi, the actor who plays the tv time traveling character, Dr Who did two nice deeds for autistic children last year. First, he took time out on set to chat and be photographed with a young autistic girl. But it is his second gesture that makes him numero uno sexy for 2014.
Peter Capaldi sends heartwarming video message to young autistic boy whose grandmother has recently died.
Mr Goodall’s mother had recently passed away, His son Thomas 9, who has autism, grieving for his grandmother, sent a letter to Dr Who and this resulted in Mr Capaldi sending this video message prior to the funeral in character to Thomas.
One view of the video below makes it clear why Peter Capaldi wins as Autism’s Sexiest Male Celebrity of 2014
Thank you Peter.
We are also going to add Donnie Wahlberg to the list to make it an even 10. He gets on the list, not for the Ice Bucket Attack reward but for taking on the autism cause as a partner to Jenny McCarthy and being a new step dad to Ethan. Besides – he is already pretty sexy.
