Oct 17 2008Jenny McCarthy claims magical healing powers

Jenny McCarthy has been on a crusade telling people that her son caught autism from childhood vaccinations, no matter what those know-nothings at the American Academy of Pediatrics say. Now she says that that—surprise!—he's cured, and it's all thanks to taking away his milk and sitting him in front of the tee-vee. Oh yeah, and prayer. Us Weekly reports:

The actress—who believes the MMR vaccine was to blame for her son's diagnosis —says a strict no wheat-and-dairy-free diet has changed her son from a quiet little boy who used to flail his arms around to a loving six-year-old.
"Before the vaccination, he was huggy, lovey, snuggly," she says in the newest issue of Us Weekly. "Then it was like someone came down and stole him."
McCarthy, 36, remembers when Evan began to come out of his shell while watching a SpongeBob episode. "I heard Evan laugh...I jumped on the bed and started screaming."
She adds, "When he finally hugged me, I prayed, 'Please God don't let this be the only time.'"
McCarthy has become an outspoken advocate for autism awareness, often courting controversy along the way (doctors have accused her of creating fear of necessary vaccines). She's the bestselling author of five books, including her newest, Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds. She's also constantly researching on sites like like AgeofAutism.com and GenerationRescue.org
"I made a deal with God," she explains. "I said, 'You fix my boy, you show me the way and I'll teach the world how I did it.'"

Wow, that's some miraculous shit, but it's not unheard of in medical history. I once cured myself of leprosy with a bacon double cheeseburger, a liter of Gatorade and an Aqua Teen Hunger Force marathon. At least I think it was leprosy. When I told my doctor about it later he said it was probably just a hangover, but frankly I'm not so sure about his qualifications. Once he tried to stick his finger in my ass and told me it was to make sure I didn't have cancer. I know—total quack, right?

Good for her.

that is one dumb bimbo... famous for showing her tits and now she's "god warrior" just proves the end is near.

LMAO @ yet another gawd soaked Hollywood knucklehead.

-yawn

Changing diet can help certain kids w/autism.

In other words...she is unable to explain what took place so it gets attributed to g0d. And if it was something tragic she would say the debbil was behind it.



Dumb fukin religous fruitcakes.

HAHAHAHA please see the Dennis Leary autism post. ROFLMAO.

Does anyone see that cold sore on her upper lip?

Does anyone see that cold sore on her upper lip?

HAHAHAHAHAHA please see the Dennis Leary autism post. ROFLMAO!

Looks like the diet consists of raw meat. WTF is she eating?!? Is that pic from a cannibal convention!? Jeezbzus!

Of course it's easier to say "goddidit" than to obtain an education. And for self- important celebrities with little education it's easier to say "goddidit" or "thedevildidit" than to admit they don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

obviously no one is going to read it, but there's a book called "Devil in the Milk" that traces a strong corollary between autism and dairy in the diets of some children. Certain cows (primarily in Western Europe and Australia, I believe) produce a different protein than other cows, and that protein can cause autism-like symptoms in children suffering from leaky-gut syndrome.

Okay, back to boobies...

Hmmmm... Last time I checked autism wasn't a disease, nor was is it something you could "catch" like the flu or a cold. I believe her that maybe he had some sort of reaction from vaccinations, and that maybe now he's all better, but to classify that as autism gives other parents with kids who actually have autism false hope.

you know, I don't agree with her about the cause but I respect the fact that since her sons diagnosis she has been out of the public eye and doing her best for her son. She seems like a devoted mother - in Hollywood a rarity.

And for the person who doesn't recognize the food - it's called sushi, or in this case a little negiri and some sashimi. Leave the mid-west cave

Her child's autism and healing should not be up for comment and comedy here. She is his MOTHER and knows what made him better. STFU supeficial unfunny writer.

Her views on vaccines are unwarranted.

http://www.site.stopjenny.com/

Gluten and casein (the primary protein in dairy)-free diets are actually a legit treatment for autism. I don't think there's any proof that it eliminates it of course, but she's certainly not the only person who believes in them. Most parents of autistic children will (at the suggestion of many pediatricians) give them a try for at least a few months.They make lines of gluten and dairy-free children's snacks (cookies, meal bars, etc) and some families will make gluten-free breads and such at home for their autistic children. Just google 'casein and gluten-free diets for autism' or any combination of those words and you'll find no shortage of articles and studies backing her up on that.

# 17, precisely, I concur.

Superficial writer, educate yourself. I'm disappointed in you.

Jenny McCarthy has been an absolute gift. Along with my endless hours of research, I found her book to be full of the best advice possible in healing autism. There is thousands of parents, websites, and doctors backing everything she has said publicly regarding autism, diet, and vaccines. 1 in 150 children are autistic. That number is extremely high. I'm sure all of people that thinks she's crazy will eventually have someone close to you diagnosed. You may have a different view then, about recovery. Thanks to her, and of course myself, my son no longer has an autism diagnosis.

P.S. I am not easily offended, and love the superficial site. But, this post was very uncool.

Best. Post. Ever. Retards should be left out for the wolves to devour. We're a nation of whiners because of persons like Jenny.

To these idiots who are offended by this post, i'm offended by your stupidity.

"I made a deal with God," she explains. "I said, 'You fix my boy, you show me the way and I'll teach the world how I did it.'"

Um... OK... so now she needs to write about how she made a deal with God to fix her boy. Nice how she asks God to do something, then goes around taking credit for it. ;)

No, idiots, diet has NOTHING to do with autism. Now go back to whatever wackjob anti-vaccine site you were forwarded here from. We have boobies to look at, and your stupid is getting in the way.

Nagiri? Sashimi? Whatever, can you deep fry it, and melt some cheese on it?

Please don't make a fool of yourself if you have no knowledge of autism and it's devastating effects on our kids. I have a child with mid-spectrum autism (pretty severe) and it is NOT just BS - if you have not personally experienced this awful condition, do not make fun of those of us who will try anything to help our kids. Jenny is lucky that she has lots of money and support to help her son - those children who have made as much progress as her son have all had a lot of help. You should respect her tenacity and love for her child.

24, McCarthy's tenacity and love for her child have manifested themselves as a very public campaign to put the kibosh on what may be medicine's single greatest contribution to the quality of human life. It's awfully hard to respect her motives when her methods are so blunderingly stupid.

I think shes great , who cares if she did a lil play boy , doesnt make her a bad mother , and medicine sucks go natural!!! go girl!

If a diet cured her boy, it wasn't autism. It's entirely possible that he has a rare metabolic disorder that requires a special diet. That certainly does happen. What makes things difficult is that autism can be diagnosed in either a narrow sense ("Rain Man" type of thing) or a broad sense (including very mild retardation, limited problems with communication, and low sociability). So-called broad-spectrum autism is probably a bunch of different things that aren't all that similar to each other.

In terms of vaccinations, it's highly controversial in terms of a link with autism, but very clear in terms of negative effects of the campaign to "prove" vaccinations cause autism: lots and lots and lots of kids aren't getting their immunizations, and those horrible illnesses that only grandpa and grandma might remember are making come backs. Thanks for that, Jenny and friends. If you have a kid now, he or she very likely shares a classroom with at least one kid (probably several) who have no protection against deadly childhood illnesses that were conquered by vaccines, not treatments. If those kids get sick and transmit it to your kid, everybody's fucked. Thanks, Jenny.

So the immunizations cause autism, huh? Well, riddle me this, girlfriend of The Joker:

"Parents need have no more fears about the triple vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. A study of more than 30,000 children in Japan should put the final nail in the coffin of the claim that the MMR vaccine is responsible for the apparent rise in autism in recent years.

The study shows that in the city of Yokohama the number of children with autism continued to rise after the MMR vaccine was replaced with single vaccines. "The findings are resoundingly negative," says Hideo Honda of the Yokohama Rehabilitation Center."

How about the U.S.? Well, in California, after eliminating the bogeyman targeted by people like Jenny (mercury-based presevervatives) ...

"Researchers from the state Department of Public Health found the autism rate in children rose continuously during the 12-year study period from 1995 to 2007. The preservative thimerosal has not been used in childhood vaccines since 2001, but it is used in some flu shots.

Doctors say the latest study adds to existing evidence refuting a link between thimerosal exposure and autism risk and should reassure parents that the disorder is not caused by vaccinations. If there was a risk, they said, autism rates should have dropped between 2004 and 2007."

There are real cases of autism, with very real and impairing problems, and a real basis in the brain. There's even a real treatment for at least some cases of autism (the type that runs in families) - extremely intensive (40+ hours a week) skills training starting at age 2 and lasting until age 4 or 5. Some kids receiving that treatment have ended up in mainstream classrooms and done pretty well, all things considered - they've got pretty noticeable emotional and social handicaps, but they can get along well enough with the other kids and keep up in class, and they don't need to be in a special needs (retard) class.

All the other stuff about autism is bs.

Enough of this medical talk. Let's talk about how I would like give her pearl necklace to go with that LBD.

Fish you and your moron readers should shut your traps. Changing diets has been shown to reduce the affects of autism in many cases

She can heal me anytime.

She can heal me anytime.

She can heal me anytime.

i don't understand why everyone is so negative...it's obvious to me that she is passionate and sincere.

i believe in her.

all I'm asking: PLEASE "HEAL" AMERICA!!

Poor Kids. It just KILLS me to see kids suffering from autism. When I first found out about it in class, I was floored to see that something like that could really condemn some innocent kid to a lifetime of imprisonment within their own mind. Definitely find a cure, someone.

I'm disappointed in you Mr. Superficial. Jumping on the 'Denis Leary' against autism bandwagon. Stick to what you know. Changing the diet of kids with Autism DOES help them. I know it for a fact.

HAHAHAHAHAHA Man, the little tard gives a hug and it's the work of god! Awesome shit!

Isn't the idea that certain vaccinations have impurities due to the manufacturing process? That has nothing to do with expertise of doctors, or degrees or bimbos or anything. It's a manufacturing thing, if that's the case. Out of my radar range mostly, but whatever the fuck.

J McCarthy's nose seems to be under control. A lot of Irish chicks' noses get out of control after the age of 30, yes Lindsay this means you soon too. It's a hell of a shame watching a nose "hit the wall" so early before any of the rest of the girl does.

The CDC has admitted in internal documents that the mercury used in vaccines can cause damage to the nervous system. Read up on the effects of mercury on the nervous system. Then read up on mercury used in vaccines. Then read up on the huge jump in the number of autism cases the past 30 years.

Amazing! The posts discuss autism and not her cleavage or other body bits. Has the readership changed over night?

"The CDC has admitted in internal documents that the mercury used in vaccines can cause damage to the nervous system. Read up on the effects of mercury on the nervous system. Then read up on mercury used in vaccines. Then read up on the huge jump in the number of autism cases the past 30 years."

And then read up on how mercury was removed from vaccines in the U.S. and other countries and absolutely no change was observed in the rates of autism.

There's a huge push on class actions suits against the makers of vaccines on behalf of parents with kids who have autism. Why the huge push? Because every ingredient named as a cause of autism has been removed (none are essential ingredients, so all could be replaced) and the first long-term follow-up studies are beginning to be published in the scientific literature. The conclusion in every case is that autism rates have remained the same or, in some reports, continued to rise. There have been no reports of declines, and the "grapevine" word among researchers is that there will be no reports of declines when all the data is published. The personal injury lawyers know that and are racing to get their cases through the courts. Meanwhile, long-dead childhood illnesses are making a big comeback, and at times spreading from unprotected kids to adults whose immunizations have worn off. Lovely country we live in.

I guess I'd be batshit crazy too if I had to listen to Jim Carrey's nonsensical unfunny ranting all day long.

Look, TV knows all. Turn to it for truth.

Dr. House sees these cases all the time. He finds the cure, just like Jenny. Only difference is that he recognizes that THE INITIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS WRONG.

duhderdoye, as Jenny's kid would say.

Munchausen's Syndrome, by proxy. Jenny needs attention so much she conditioned her poor son into a fake mental illness, only to grab even more attention by claiming to have cured it herself. She's going to hell.

I'm pretty convinced that the MMR/autism link is bullshit. It just so happens that the inoculation is given around the age that the first signs of autism appear.

However, cutting out wheat and dairy can be a godsend for some families with autistic children - it's proven to cause positive behavioural changes. I work with autistic kids, and I've seen before-and-after cases.

The only part she left out of the story was that when her son "came out of his shell" the first thing he said was "tell your fucking boyfriend to get his fucking finger out of my asshole."

While I think that her autism/ vaccine link is BS, it is nice to see someone in Hollywood that appears to take such a strong role in their childs' lives.


Plus she still looks real nice :-)

Is she taking a "strong role" or is she making her kid's life her own identity? God knows her career is over. I bet her son is gasping for air and will rebel like a motherfucker (literally?) when he's a teenager.

Changing the child's diet DOES seem to have an effect on it. I don't know if it's food allergies or something else that triggers/makes it worse for some children. It doesn't seem to be the vaccinations because the rates haven't gone down with the change of the vaccinations. Maybe it's something like how some people get the flue shot and then get sick but it's really because they have an egg allergy (and the culture is grown in chicken eggs)?

Still, good for her for trying to help other people out experiencing the same horror she did.

This is great news! And it's a great inspiration for Governor Palin as she cares for her infant son, who also suffers from autism.

*aides whisper frantically in McCain's ear*

What?...Oh. My apologies. Turns out Governor Palin's kid is one of those slant-eyed thick tongued retards, like that Corky fella. To tell you the truth, I don't even know my own kids' names, so don't ask me to tell the difference between a rocking retard and a drooling retard.

Fuck. You know what? I must have mentioned Governor Palin's personal experience with autism about a dozen times in my debate with that colored fella. Well, no big deal, I'm sure there won't be any problems with that Joe the Plumber fella I held up as an American working class entrepreneurial icon.

*aides whisper frantically in McCain's ear*

What? Well fuck me. God damn. Fuck it, I'll make it simple: my friends, don't vote for the n i g g e r.

What a bunch of doctors at the superficial.

I agree, Very uncool...
As a mother with a child with autism I pretty much hate you and I use to love you.
Biomedical intervention... diet...aba therapy... have saved my son's life. He is on his way to recovery. I loved this site because it made me forget about my everyday life and how difficult it is for a family with a child with autism. I'm so disappointed but then again I shouldn't be surprised.

At least she isn't telling us to vote. :D

Didn't know so many doctors read The Superficial

Keep it real guys....

BTW...I use to love to beat it to this girl. She still has it! Damn...what a MILF

I gotta boner, I gotta boner..............yeaaaaahhh!!!

Vanessa @53:

Have you considered post-term abortion?

I completely agree with # 25 - Grodd (well said!). No one is saying "don't love your kids" or Autism isn't real - we're just fed up with the morons that over diagnose, label clear cut brats or blame vaccines that HELPED to save mankind (how soon we forget about the great work of Jonas Salk...most of you wouldn't be here due to polio...and the list goes on). I am so sick of these Indigo children, special snowflake bullshit! My own mother thought I was "indigo" (heard the term recently and joined the sheeple) and I told her "hell no, I was just a brat sometimes". Funny how a stupid label can turn a turd of a child into a glorified messiah.

And another thing....how many freakin' kids have Autism? It seems like every Mother, Father and guardian is saying THEIR KIDS HAVE IT! What gives? If every single person on this site but me and a few others have kids with it...why isn't this country shut down with a massive epidemic crisis?! Either this thing will be the end of the world or a lot of people are delusional!

Oh my gosh #45/Truth...I never thought of that - Munchausen's Syndrome, by proxy!!!! It makes a lot of sense. I'm not talking about the real tragic cases but I bet ya many Mothers who have to label every damn thing their kids do has Munchausen's. Hospitals and police have better ways to track down these cases and Autism is the easiest way to get people to feel sorry for them because everyone is so worried about offending or actually investigating. With this culture of everyone "having to be a big important Star" having a child with problems will garner sympathy and no one is going to go against a Jenny McCarthy type/uber yummy mommy.

Again, I feel bad for REAL cases, but most, in my opinion are the entitleminded Parents who don't want to be left out of the "in crowd".

thank you to those who decide to comment and actually know something about the subject before they start to scrutinize others. Stated before, if people took the time to research autism, dairy has long been linked to the disorder, and many doctors recommend at least limiting the dairy intake of their child. so to the superficial, although i still am a fan of the site, please do take a look at the american academy of pediatrics perspective on autism, and their valued treatments and advisories about handling children suffering from the disease. This post did seem to be an attack on a mother who actual spends time with her child, unlike most hollywood/ celebrity mothers.
all i have to say to those calling her a "dumb bimbo", look who's making millions for her "Mother Warriors" book after posing for playboy and being the host of a forgetful mtv dating show. obviously she's doing something right and somewhat intelligent if the money bags keep rolling in by the truck load. Just a quick question, what are you doing to make your millions? oh yes, that's right, posting comments on superficial on a friday night, someone seems a bit less intelligent than her right now.
many of you have a lot more research to do if you're completely eliminating the idea diet can change a child's autism condition, most sites agree there are links between the two; not necessarily dairy in specific, but specifically "joe the plumber" (sounds like quite an accomplished fellow) seems to be lacking in his aptitude to research accordingly on the subject. i don't know joe, maybe read the entire website instead of the first paragraph to fully understand the subject. Better yet, save your energy so you give the boobs your full attention and spare us next time.
and to mos (#20), i have no idea why you don't care if a child is unhealthy and/ or in danger of losing their life, but if you feel we are a "nation of whiners", good luck in life. As far as I know, most people whine or are upset when they have a one loved who is dying or sick. Tell me, what nation doesn't complain about death, malnutrition, poverty, economy, etc, because I would love to know. If nobody's complaining, life just has to be absolutely perfect there. so tell me, do you have any suggestions as to where this non complaining place might be? I'm just dying to know, as I'm sure the rest of us are as well.

#60 - why are you making fun of people who post on this site, when you gave a long heartfelt speech? And why are people like you saying we shouldn't talk about things we know nothing about - as if the biological act of spreading your legs and squirting out a kid gives you some sort of knowledge over people who went to college and studied science and medicine. Here's the deal....having sex and performing a bodily function does not make you a genius or better than anyone else.

PLEASE HEAL AMERICA, jenn!!

Yes, actually it does.

there is a lot more jenny has to say about her son's ability to cope with autism and vaccines than what idiotic superficial writers have posted onto their website. please dont judge a woman with a child with special needs and keep in mind, coming from a med student, always be open minded when it comes to treatment. sometimes it is a lot simpler than all the medical advances we have today.

Diet can improve or lessen the severity of Autism. But it cannot cure it. Plus, the illnesses prevented by the vaccines are worse than Autism.

I am not against her believing that she "cured" Autism. But protesting against vaccines? C'mon! That's a little selfish.

Cavy --

Specifically, what are you saying? Just because she gave birth to a baby, it doesn't make her educated?

Is that what it is?


Anyway, Autism is so broad and varies. It was most likely not Autism.

@ 7 (& 8)

yep, Sarah, i do believe that is a cold sore...but doesn't everyone get them nowadays. last i heard 80% of the U.S. has Herpes Simplex 1...

...now what i wonder is if that shit is on Jim Carrey's dick...

Can we PLEASE get the old Superficial writer back? This new guy is awful. He tries to hit the same humor points as the old, but come nowhere close. Sorry Guy, just move on. Please.

Why wouldn't injecting a vaccine full of thimerosal/mercury be harmful?

She is very misinformed about the causal relationship between vaccines and autism. She is given to great a voice to spew her nonsense without adequate response from qualified medical professionals.

Yay for ignorant parents!

Alternative medicine, homeopathy, et al are called just that because they HAVEN'T passed clinical trials, or have not been put through this scientific method at all. Were they to pass trials i.e. objectively show to work, they would no longer be known as "alternative", "spiritual", "homeopathic" and other such bullshit and would simply be known as medicine. That's science, people.

You can't claim something inane like this work if you've tried it in your own house on your own kid.

Autistic kids are not cool. I would not hang out with em'....just sayin'.......

#73 - good old fashioned FDA approved medicine like VIOXX, right?

"I made a deal with God," she explains. "I said, 'You fix my boy, you show me the way and I'll teach the world how I did it.'"

Wow, isn't that the American way? What happened to good old fashioned self-less faith in God? Nope....that must be the old timey way. Now it's "Dear God, do X, Y, Z, and I'll brag about how great I am." Bitch, God doesn't need you being a spokesmodel for a diet. HE WANTS YOUR SOUL!! or is that Satan? I can't keep it straight but I'm pretty sure God wants you to testify on how good he's been in your life and recruit others to Christ. This is a classic case of why women shouldn't try to use their brains. Their just space savers not intended for real thought.

It was MORE than just a diet that changed her child's prognosis. If you read her book you will see that it took many years to reverse the effects of vaccines- it mostly has to do with a childs weakened immune system and it be able to process immuinizations. Now there are so many mothers that look up to Jenny because she gives them alternatives. Something you cannot get from the APA because they get paid so much $$$ from drug companies. No one wants to help these kids, they just rather debate about what doesn't cause it. In the meantime the cases are on the rise and so many moms are handed a diagnosis with ways to help their kids. I applaud Jenny because I have seen changes through herr research and deterrmination. And those who think she's a joke, come up with a better solution for these infants/toddlers- or try living with it.

She is really sexy. seems that she is very hot on ___>>>___ that is a free tall dating club. she must go there to find someone. i also saw her hot pics and videos on that web. unless you watch it, you won't know how...she is.

Doctors and scientists also used to claim that smoking cigarettes was good for your health.

If the government says it's safe, then there is no doubt that it is safe. We all know that the government only acts in our best interests and is never ever wrong about anything.

"Since 1991, when the CDC and the FDA had recommended that three additional vaccines laced with the preservative be given to extremely young infants -- in one case, within hours of birth -- the estimated number of cases of autism had increased fifteenfold, from one in every 2,500 children to one in 166 children."

I guess it's just a coincidence

phen-phen anyone?

"At two months, when the infant brain is still at a critical stage of development, infants routinely received three inoculations that contained a total of 62.5 micrograms of ethylmercury -- a level 99 times greater than the EPA's limit for daily exposure to methylmercury, a related neurotoxin. Although the vaccine industry insists that ethylmercury poses little danger because it breaks down rapidly and is removed by the body, several studies -- including one published in April by the National Institutes of Health -- suggest that ethylmercury is actually more toxic to developing brains and stays in the brain longer than methylmercury."

Speaking as the parent of 3 autistic kids, it's great to see that finally even the gossip mags are realizing what she's all about. I thought that she had jumped the shark, but it's nice to get some confirmation from popular culture. Maybe now we can start working on how to make our kids' lives better.

The form of autism most people recognize - "essential autism" - runs in families. The exact genes and mode of genetic transmission have yet to be identified (it's, you know, kinda complex stuff), but family pedigree studies clearly indicate that this classic form of autism - the "Rain Man" type - clusters in families.

Immunizations are the boogeyman that these families have created because they can't accept the inherited basis of the disorder. It's very common for "advocacy" groups to pursue this sort of thing. You should see what family-advocacy groups say the cause of schizophrenia is.

It'd all be perfectly understandable and acceptable if they weren't creating a vastly created public health problem by scaring parents into sending their kids into the schools without any immunizations against deadly childhood illnesses. You know, we never found a cure for most of them. They were eliminated through the immunizations.

I don't care what folks say that is one hot MILF.

People like her make me crazy; it's so irresponsible to go around telling people not to vaccinate their kids. My great-grandmother just foams at the mouth when she hears about it. She tells us about how parents lived in dread all summer of polio epidemics and her brother who was deaf because of mumps. Babies do not get their MMR until 13 months, which means we protect them by eliminating the diseases through vaccination. If unvaccinated older brother and sisters bring home measles, the baby could die or be harmed. This "I don't care what scientific evidence there is; I know better" attitude is ridiculous. I'll tell you what genuine evidence there IS; it's that these childhood diseases can maim and kill. There's no real evidence of autism being cured, although the children can be helped by various techniques. I'd be curious to see if the child was ever formally diagnosed. I wonder if he might have just become a bit quiet and introverted from being around the kind of person who jumps up and down on the bed and screams at the drop of a hat.

Not to be a medical geek or anything, but the immunization thing is complicated. It looks like most kids are unaffected, but some kids who have pre-existing abnormalities may develop autism-like syndromes after being immunized (it's probably the mercury, which is also put into the flu vaccine as a preservative, and remember that pregnant mothers are all told to get the flu vaccine). The "pre-existing abnormalities" part is very complex - it doesn't have to be a neurological abnormality; some kids with rare disorders of cell metabolism have reacted very poorly to the MMR immunization in particular. If the abnormalities are genetically based, then autism would BOTH run in families and be partially caused by immunizations.

Medical science isn't simple.

I don't really think she is saying her son is "cured" of Autism. I think she is saying that his condition has vastly improved. He still has autism, his behavior has just changed.

Also, for those who don't think that immunizations have any effect on children who are later diagnosed with autism...

My little sister received her MMR vaccine and 16 hours later she was literally crying every day for 20 hours straight, screaming, and pulling her hair out. It had the same effect on her twin brother. Two children who were before, lovable, talkative, and curious completely changed within a day. Hmmm...I don't know what it could be from.

who would've thought a major ball breaker and professional teaser would turn out to be a renown "author"

Every kid has autism, and ADD, and we're all bi-polar. Yawn.

Going all the way back to #27. Why do parents who get their kids vaccinated have any worry about other people's children not getting vaccinated? If the vaccines do what they're supposed to do, what's the problem? If vaccines actually do prevent you from getting disease, aren't the vaccinated kids safe? Duh

Hopefully when you have kids something like this doesn't happen to them, you'll find how amazing it is when you make fun of these beautiful little angels, you end up paying someway or somehow.

Not everyone has AD....what was the question again?

Good Lord, yet another no talent whore, this one using her kid as a prop to seek and hold relevance. Funny, the kid's father is MIA but Jim Carrey has bought into and enabled this disgrace hook, line and sinker. He may want to chart his career path against his hanging around JM.

While I certainly wish the child well the mom needs to be put on the HOV lane toward obscurity.

No vaccines is 100% effective. Some batches have less potency than others, and some vaccines wear off over time. So gaps are created whereby previously vaccinated people can still get infected, especially if there's a widespread outbreak of the infectious disease. In many cases the most susceptible are the adults, since the vaccines weren't designed to last an entire lifetime (only for the duration of childhood). The only way childhood diseases were controlled in the past was to make the "germ" die out by immunizing the entire population, so it would have no hosts.

So...nobody's teaching health class these days, it seems...

DAMN, That is one fine MIF

Don't you all know that we have reached the pinnacle of science? Nobody should ever question doctors or scientists because there are no more discoveries to be made and all current studies are 100% correct and should not be challenged. The FDA has your best interests at heart and could never be influenced by the drug companies. Vioxx anyone?

My kid was diagnosed 6 times with autism spectrum disorder by 6, separate, respected community entities.

He's almost 7 now. We put him on the GFCF diet (no gluten (wheat, oats, barley, or rye) or dairy or dairy derivatives). Just last month, we had him evaluated for school and he did not score within the autistic range on ANY of the tests they gave him. (Over 3 days.)

What now, superficial?

Hopefully when you have kids, Gemma #94, 95, 96, & 97, they won't repeat themselves like a broken record!

That's the problem....everyone in this Country has some form of Disease, symptoms, Autism, ADD, compulsion, etc....is anyone born "healthy" anymore?

#104 You're a moron if your coming to this site asking "What now, superficial?"

If you have to get your accolades and self entitlement from a celebrity website, you have more problems than any Doctor could help you with...

Yippy Skippy for your child - what do you want? A cookie?

Dear Cavy,

I think "your" going to have to think out that response a little more.

Self-entitlement? Entitled to what? Please explain.

"What now, superficial" was in response to the superficial writer's tone that affecting an autism diagnosis by altering one's diet doesn't make sense. I was pointing out that Jenny McCarthy's son is not the only one.

Damn right yippy skippy for my child. And for the child of any parent who will go to such lengths to help them.

I'd lick that 36 year old clit.

While I am happy for her that her son is better...I think it is wrong to give false hope to people when she doesn't have a "cure" for autism. I really disapprove of people telling others not to give their children vaccinations because of both religious views and fear...because not only could you be hurting your own child - but also other children that can be infected from the child that didn't get vaccinated. As a mother of 2 children under 2 who has vaccinated my children with all the recommended vaccinations...I am afraid of any child that has been withheld a possible life saving treatment that comes into contact with my children and could in fact hurt my children through no fault of their own but of their ignorant parents. I think if the government, hospitals and doctors agree with a vaccination schedule...I say we all have to do it...or move somewhere else...I don't want my kids sick because of you!

If the government/CDC says something, then it MUST be true. And of course, only with technology do we understand anything; nevermind the fact that only polio has been "cured" in the past 100 years or so.
And as a side note, we no longer vaccinate for small pox, yet small pox is quite well spread around the rest of the world. I don't hear people clamoring for small pox vaccinations to occure even as we have more and more people coming from overseas into the States who could be carriers of it.
People do as they're told because we believe that there is someone in government or governmental agencies who have our best interest at hearts...but can a fake entity, an entity purely created in the minds of it's followers, really "care" since it takes a cognative mind to care? People of the world, Big Brother will love you and keep you safe; because we no longer have the minds and fortitude to do it ourselves.

Natalie, being a parent doesn't mean you have any greater understanding of what's going on here, nor does it mean you should be allowed to force your opinions on others. If your child is vaccinated against a disease, and comes across a child who is carrying that disease, how is your child going to get it if their vaccinated? Isn't that the point of the vaccine?
I'm not advocating skipping childhood vaccines, because what studies i've seen show that the chances of them being a cause of autism are pretty small, but the truth is we have no other answer for what could be the cause in most situations. I don't like it when parents of children with autism are vilified for speaking out against vaccination, because really it's them against the big drug companies, which are the

What happen? I thought superfish was starting to post weekends....

Wow, i have no idea how i failed to post properly the first time. Anyway, here's the entirety of what i was going to say:

Plus, i haven't so far heard of any increase in cases of vaccinated diseases because of the autism scare. Maybe it is happening and i just haven't heard, but i have the feeling, given the power of the drug companies, that we would hear about it.

That being said, (sorry for the long-winded post) Jenny McCarthy did not invent this method of treatment, and it's ridiculous for her to be talking about it in this way. The success of the candida diet for helping with autism has been widely known for a while, and i'm surprised someone as well-informed as her didn't try it a long time ago. I mean anything that can be done to spread the word about a successful treatment is great, but she shouldn't be taking credit for it. Oh and i sure as hell hope she's donating the book proceeds to autism research, because if she's not she deserves to be AIDSed in the face.

What won't this camera loving media whore say to get herself in print and on camera? For fuck sakes...

My younger brother was born 100% perfect. A laughing, healthy little boy. Then, after he got his MMR vaccine, he had a grand mal seizure and was then diagnosed with autism and had to re-learn everythinng. We have NO family history of autism. He's 29 now - and very much developmentally disabled. For those of you who think there is no link between vaccines and autism, and have children, please do more research. After all these years, those vaccines still are not safe!!!

she needs a vaccine for what looks like herpes outbreak on her lip

@51. John McCain - October 17, 2008 11:03 PM

This is great news! And it's a great inspiration for Governor Palin as she cares for her infant son, who also suffers from autism.

*aides whisper frantically in McCain's ear*

What?...Oh. My apologies. Turns out Governor Palin's kid is one of those slant-eyed thick tongued retards, like that Corky fella. To tell you the truth, I don't even know my own kids' names, so don't ask me to tell the difference between a rocking retard and a drooling retard.

Fuck. You know what? I must have mentioned Governor Palin's personal experience with autism about a dozen times in my debate with that colored fella. Well, no big deal, I'm sure there won't be any problems with that Joe the Plumber fella I held up as an American working class entrepreneurial icon.

*aides whisper frantically in McCain's ear*

What? Well fuck me. God damn. Fuck it, I'll make it simple: my friends, don't vote for the n i g g e r.

It turns out that Juan McCainez has just written a tough letter to the Jew York Slimes complaining that they haven't done enough to find candidape Barking Obongo's drug dealer, the one he discussed in his ghost-written auto-biography "Dreams of My Father". The Jew York Slimes sent back the following letter:


Dear Mr. McCain,

We realize that you graduated in the bottom 1% of your class at The Naval Academy, but your stupidity in this matter is still inexplicable.

We are the Jew York Times. Even though you have a sycophant of the highest magnitude for our primary Jewish Causes- amnesty for illegal aliens and support of Israel no matter the cost-Mr. Obama is very much in our pocket and will do our bidding as ably as you have. In addition, he is a mixed-breed. As we seek the continued browning of America through various and assorted means, Mr. Obama's racial make-up will encourage many more gullible White women to eliminate their genetic heritage through breeding with negroes. He also will be far more aggressive in promoting other anti White policies. While you would do our bidding well in these matters, we feel that Mr. Obama would do it even better.

We have a long history of supporting left-wing marxists-you know that Mr. McCain. We have and will use our considerable influence to further the cause of Mr. Obama-hence the investigation of your wife. Had you half a brain in your head, you would have paid for the investigation of Mr. Obama's drug connections and released that information through a 3rd Party such as Faux News or Rush Limblow. But, alas, you don't.

We thank you for your traitorous deeds to the White Race in the past. You have been most useful. But, you are no longer needed.

We wish both you and Mrs. McCain the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

The Editorial Board and Legal Staff of The Jew Yuk Slimes.

HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The anti-vaccine people rail against thimerosal/mercury in vaccines, and point to it as a possible cause of autism. I find it funny that in this photo, Jenny has what looks like sushi, and more specifically--TUNA. what is it that's found in most sashimi-grade tuna? what? hmm. can't remember.

There are plenty of pediatricians that do believe that vaccinations can cause autism, or a form of autism. Vaccines contain a lot of heavy toxic metals. If you can purge the body of metals, you can recover. Some think of it more as a heavy metal toxicity than autism. But the point is do you really expect the American Academy of Pediatrics to admit they are the main reason for the spike in Autism cases the last 30 years? The truth is you dont have to have your child vaccinted. Or at least research what your are jamming into your newborn child. And dont read the research provided by the company selling the vaccine. Other countries look at us like we are crazy for doing some of the medical procedures we do.

The main point is her child is back, or on the way back to being normal. Whatever it was, prayer, voodoo, shamans or medicine man, or just using simple logic, like saying what are the signs of mercury poisoning, and fixing it, no family should have to suffer like that. Her kid just got over autism ,if she wants to yell at the medical community who did nothing to help her, I say yell loud. Fuck em!!

Lastly, I think I am going to go watch my old copy of her Playboy video. Her kid will have an interesting life, first the kids dad is Jim Carrey, 2nd he got and got rid of autism(heavymetal toxicity), and 3rd his mom was hott and a slut. I wish my friends mom was hott like that when i was 14, and had lots of pictures on the internet of her naked!!

Double post, double the pleasure, double the fun!
I haven't seen the kind interviewed, do you guys think she'll post her own medical records like she pimped the kids? I see herpes... ooooh boy!

I think she is terrific. She loves her son and no amount of money, intelligence and awareness would make her better equipped to discuss her son and his needs. A mother just knows.

Her son must have been misdiagnosed. I have two brothers with autism, and while, yes, a change of diet can help (getting rid of dairy and wheat) kids with autism, it does not provide a miraculous cure.
She's getting people's hopes up.
What happens when families try this, and it doesn't work? Does God not love them?
Stupid herpes-face whore.

She is a stupid, ignorant bitch. Autism can not be cured. If her boy is fine now, he was mis-diagnosed as having autism. He never had it. He must have had some other learning disability. I suppose she is going to start her own religion now. " I CAN CURE AUTISM" . fOR A GENEROUS FEE OF COURSE.

I hope no one is taking her seriously.

Her kid DID NOT HAVE Autism. The poor kid is JUST BLOND!!!

Fortunately Jenny still has nice hooters! Or else she'd have nothing going for her at all!

Wow..

Where did all these wacked out Martha Stewart members come from?

Take this to an Autism Site where it belongs! Don't try to bitch here.
You're doing those kids a dis-service.
Discuss it maturely. Find a cure, find things that help... don't do it here...

Seriously, it's useless to try to have an intelligent conversation here...

She is one of those shallow self-absorbed image-obsessed bitches, I bet she was on no carb diet her entire pregnancy, eating nothing but fish... and mercury in fish will DEFINITELY cause autism in unborn children, duh

For all of you "you vaccinate your kids if you want; those who don't want simply won't" types, once again, the children don't get the MRR until 13 months. Until that time, they're vulnerable to getting those diseases from unvaccinated children who have them. Those who don't vaccinate are piggybacking on the advantages offered by a society where most people do. These parents may change their tune one day; let's say their unvaccinated kid grows up and comes into contact with someone in an airport carrying polio and develops the disease. It'll be a lot worse than any side effect of a vaccine.

My younger brother is autistic and I think Jenny McCarthy is an idiot.

To be clear (and sometimes it really is important to make that effort) -- autism CAN BE caused by reactions to vaccinations. This is documented medical fact. and McCarthy's is far from the only case. If she has found a nutrionally-based treatment that has helped the boy -- why are you making in fun of it? Why not do a little reseach before you run your mouth off? It would have taken as little as a google search. I say all posts about little kids -- esp special needs kids -- are bad form and should off limits.

i've seen her in Playboy more than one spread
and she has a son, good for her
she looks good naked too

Vaccines DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM! EVER!
This is a documented fact.

Use of thimerosal for childhood vaccines was discontinued in 2002, The autism rate since then HAS REMAINED THE SAME. It did not go down. Therefore thimerosal cannot be a cause of autism.

Ok, that's it. I am retiring my name/ from now on you will all know FRIST is a troll. Maybe I choose a different name like UNICORNPRINCESS.Ok there ya go,

This is rediculous, and dangerous.

Autism is a brain damage that children are born with. It can be seen on a brainscan for fuck sake. And forbidding your kids to get vaccinations not only damages them but also other kids around them.

Autism is not something you ''catch'' or you can be ''cured from''. It can simply be made a little less apparent.

Thats like saying children can be cured from Downs Syndrome.

Its pretty obivous that Jenny McCarthy does not have an kind of education. Shes just making an ass out of herself.

all i want is a blowjob from her

I just want Jennys breasts all over me. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

You people don't know what you're talking about! You don't know what it's like! You SOBs are contradicting eachother! You're stupid people! I know what I'm doing!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!!Fuck You!!!!!!

Maybe having a mother who flashes for Hugh Hefner and runs around with a lunatic like Jim Carrey who is at the mental age of five might have something to do with her son's "autism." Maybe the reason for these psychotic kids might be that they have psychotic parents who are self-absorbed, vain and incapable of love.

"God" is not a mantra or a magical talisman. He is known through his son Jesus who makes certain specific requirements of how we live our lives. Going on Oprah and using your kid to stay in the limelight when your boobs start sagging, does not follow those requirements.

This annoying idiot with a horse face needs to sit down and stop trying to be a savior. I am sick of hearing about her and her kid and her equally annoying boyfriend. She has no medical background and I am not going to listen to anything she has to say, even if Oprah tells me to. Screw all that.

I agree with Aja. Jenny is the kids MOTHER, so she should know better than those money-grubbing doctors, scientists, and that evil big pharma. I mean, really, if only we had just listened to our mothers sooner, we could have gotten to a life expectancy of 70 to 80 A LOT sooner. Moreover, it should be mothers that are working on a cure for autism, not those damn PhDs. I heard milk causes Super AIDS too. No arguing with that. Nothing trumps mother's intuition. That's hot.

You mean living until 70 or 80 is caused by downing drugs, and not living a healthy lifestyle like your mother told you to?

so basically he had a food allergy, and she has herpes. horray! now get this attention whore out of my face.

#150 - You mean the PhD's and scientists who approved pen-phen and Vioxx? Those PhD's who told us that smoking is good for your health? How about those PhD's who created the financial models that crashed the banking system, requiring trillions of dollars to bail out? In PhDs we Trust.

#141 - Really you idiot? According to the CDC, thimerosal is still being used in vaccines. Even if it wasn't causing problems as you claim, then why would they even bother to not use it anymore?

http://articles.latimes.com/2004/apr/02/business/fi-vaccine2

"That changed in 1999, when the U.S. Public Health Service and the academy of pediatrics called on drug firms to voluntarily remove thimerosal from pediatric vaccines as a precaution."

So I guess all doctors and scientists have agreed that injecting mercury into children is safe? Then why did the government and pediatrics associations call on vaccine makers to stop using it?

You idiots are commonly referred to as sheeple. The government or some corporation feeds you shit and tells you that it is chocolate pudding. You eat it up.

But Boyd E. Haley, chairman of the department of chemistry at the University of Kentucky, believes it is "preposterous and ridiculous" for the government to warn about methyl mercury in fish but sanction injecting ethyl mercury into children.

The CDC decision, which will be officially published later this month, is "unconscionable," Haley said, according to the Times. "If it were my grandson or my granddaughter, there's no way in hell you'd give them a vaccine containing thimerosal."

#138 You are even more of an idiot and I feel sorry that your little brother has an ass for a sister

#58 and other assorted morons - nobody is blaming the vaccines. They are blaming the mercury in those vaccines. Why not just remove the mercury? The vaccine companies would make a little bit less money, so they lobby the government not to ban mercury in vaccines.

#123 regarding this:

"not until six months you start to vaccinate, but you knew that."

In the United States, the first vaccine administered is the hepatitis B vaccine, given when a newborn is just a few hours old. The BULK of the childhood vaccines are adminstered at 2, 4 and 6 months old.

No. The VOLUNTARY PHASE-OUT of thimerosal began in 1999, but several vaccines do still contain trace amounts of ethylmercury (for which there is still no safety level, 70 years later)
http://adventuresinautism.blogspot.com/2005/08/beginning-at-beginning.html

And it wasn't until 2007 that the FDA licenced a thimerosal-free version of the hepatitis B vaccine (yes, the same hep B vaccine admminstered to babies just hours old). Also bear in mind that most vaccines contain massive amounts of aluminum, which is another neurotoxic metal.

People need to be so careful when making statements about 'curing' autism. Speaking from experience both personal and professional, Autism is not something that is curable. It is a developmental disorder, and it can't be fixed unfortunately. I have no doubt that certain strategies work for some, like the dairy free or gluten free diets, etc and those few may see such a dramatic result that they want to proclaim that it is a cure, but it does give false hope to so many parent's and families.

anyone else have random words in the comments with hyperlinks now? "hearing" and "metals" are two of them... odd.

back to autism, yay!

Vaccinations do cause autism. good for her.

#123 regarding this:

"not until six months you start to vaccinate, but you knew that."

In the United States, the first vaccine administered is the hepatitis B vaccine, given when a newborn is just a few hours old. The BULK of the childhood vaccines are adminstered at 2, 4 and 6 months old.

Jenny,

If you made a deal with God to help your son; you should really give him the credit when he answers your prayers.

Your Quote " I made a deal with God, I said you fix my boy, you show me the way and I'll teach the world how I did it"

I am so glad your son is better but YOU did not do it; God did. Please remember that.

I used to masterbate over Jenny McCarthy. All. The. Time.

(Not literally, unfortunatley)

I'll pretend to be autistic if she promises to heal me, too.

True that most vaccines are necessary to the survival of large populations, but one of the problems with the MMR is that the 3 vaccines are now given together to save the doctors a little money (but can still be obtained separately, though not easily). Everyone blindly trusts the FDA and the government, but we all know that money and power corrupts (just look at what's happening with the current banking situation). Another obvious sign of this is the Flu vaccine that has 'Thimerosal' (an organomercury compound containing approximately 49% mercury by weight) added as a preservative so that doctors can purchase it in batches to save money, where it used to be shipped in individual doses with no Thimerosal (again, still available but not easy to get). Keep in mind that the FDA also approved Vioxx -

Vioxx Drug Recall Largest in History

"Merck has withdrawn Vioxx, its arthritis and acute pain medication, from the market as part of the largest drug recall in history, in the wake of a clinical study showing an increased risk in heart attacks and strokes after Vioxx use."

who would have ever thought retardation would be such a hot button topic around here?

"who would have ever thought retardation would be such a hot button topic around here?"

hey, like they say, write about what you know

#161: SHE isn't saying she cured her son, the headline-writers are. She says her son has RECOVERED to the point where he no longer meets the diagnostic criteria for autism, which is entirely possible with biomedical treatments. In my experience with my child, he still has autism, but he has moved to the milder end of the spectrum, thanks to a special diet. Even if one day he no longer meets the diagnostic criteria for autism, he will still be developmentally disabled.

#120, reagrding this:
"The anti-vaccine people rail against thimerosal/mercury in vaccines, and point to it as a possible cause of autism. I find it funny that in this photo, Jenny has what looks like sushi, and more specifically--TUNA. what is it that's found in most sashimi-grade tuna? what? hmm. can't remember"

First, the type of mercury found in fish is methylmercury and the type used in vaccines is ethylmercury. There is still no known safety threshold for ethylmercury; its is merely assumed to be "safe" because it is similar to methylmercury. But according to this study, te two are metabolozed differently and while ethylmercury is excreted at a faster rate, more inorganic mercury accumlates in the brain than with methylmercury. http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/thimerosal.htm

Second, ingested methylmercury is filtered out by the digestive system quite efficiently, with about 99% being excreted within 24 hours. INJECTED mercury is absorbed into the bloodstream, where it is given direct access to the brain and other internal organs.

So here we have 2 different compounds with two different routes of entry. The only commonality is that they both happen to be forms of organic mercury.

So she gave the little snot nose a hug and gave him attention and now he is cured horse crap the little rug monster needed to get his shit together and pay attention. Vaccines did not screw him up Hollywood lifestyle did , look at Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton. they have had autism for many years if giving valtrexx means a cure for Paris Hilton.

No where in this post did I read anything about JM doing porn.

So there fore 178 of you wasted my time.

171 "...YOU did not do it; God did. Please remember that."

Now, provide your proof right here...

that "god" did something. Or just STFU with that superstitious horseshit already. Fucking religious loonytunes.

OMG look at her hands! she has man hands!

And a Klingon forehead.

First off, Palen's kid isn't autistic, he has down's syndrome because his mother refused to protect herself from having any children while going through menopause. Second, my son is autistic and didn't get any vaccines until he entered a MAINSTREAM school when he entered kindergarden 3 years AFTER his diagnosis. Third, my kid is the cooled kid around.....way cooler than "normal" brats. He may talk like a 2 year old and refuse to let anyone stand next to him, but he behaves better than any typical 5 year old who whines and bitches just because mommy won't let him have what he wants.

lmao@ 15

Many mothers have been wrong.
Simple and common example is the ones who insisted that not wearing gloves etc would give their kids not only the cold but deadly phneumonia.

GET. A. GRIP

Also for the bible bashers (including Jenny), I would have hoped that a caring 'god' would come up with better puzzles for us humans to figure out and waste our time on, than making children ill, sometimes dying, all to teach us lessons or give life some kind of meaning. Sort of a cruel thing to do really isn't it ?

I know what I'm doing! I know what I'm talking about! I know more than all you dumb wikipedia princesses! Fuck you dumbasses! You don't know what it's like!!!! You don't know shit!!! Shut the fuck up!!!

As a parent of an autistic child, I praise her for getting out there and spreading the word. Diet absolutely does help autism. It may not "cure" it, but it helps eliminate many of the side affects of an autistic child. We started Feingold 5 years ago. At that point, my son was silent, only showing emotion when he was scared or sad. After a month on Feingold, he was smiling and showing an interest in his surroundings. After a year, he was talking. No, he will never be "normal", but he has come so far through diet. Just educate yourselves people. Ignorance isn't bliss in this case, it's just ignorant.

Okay superficial writer, up til now you'd had my utmost respect. (I've never been moved to leave a comment until now, btw.) First off, let me say that you're the funniest writer I've ever read, hands down! But this post did not live up to your usual hilarity and intelligence. You're usually so liberal...so why take what the conservative organization, the APA, says at face value?? No parent who does his/her research and can think for him/herself believes in them. Maybe if/when you have kids (god forbid--haha, jokes), you'll understand what I mean (I hope, anyway).

Vaccinations are truly, truly BAD! Look into it. The reason they endorse them is that the drug companies make tons of money from them. I'm so glad that Jenny is talking about this. Everyone needs to know and look into it for themselves.

Damn that fish looks good! Oh, and the sushi on her plate looks delish too!

Bottom line here......I think the message is that we need to stop eating so much shit and taking so many medications/flu shots/vaccines/antibiotics/pain killers. We need to get back to the basics, clean out our lockers/fridges/brains and make our own decisions, stop letting the TV/polits/advertisers make decisions for us. We need to start taking responsibility for our actions, stop blaming the world for the awful things that happen to us, even if we didn't ask for it.

We need to open books not web pages (aside from the Fish, of course), or experience things for ourselves. We need to stop injecting ourselves with poisons in order to prevent natural things like AGING, we need to stop inserting liquid filled globules into our asses, chests, lips. We need to stop watching awful fake "reality" shows that promote hatred, jealousy, bitterness. We need to stop watching the world throught plate-glass windows and get otu there and talk to each other, no matter whether we agree with each other or not. We need to stop trying to convince other people to agree with us.

We need to stop trying to think we are famous by making web pages of ourselves and judging ourselves by how many "friends" we have, "friends" who are not our friends, who really don't care about us. We need to stop valuing ourselves by how many boners we can create, women we can make hate us, men we can make look at us while they are with other women.

And I need to shut up and take my cold medicine, because I think I'm talking out of my ass. G'night Gracie.

Wow..., she is so hot and sexy. BTW, my brother told me he saw her profile and photos at an age gap dating club **AgelessOnly.c o m**. She has written some blogs a few days ago. Maybe you should have a look.

Its sad that there are so many negative people writing in, swearing and bagging people, who try to help others. To all the mothers out there, who care as much as jen, and would try anything...try your child with 3,000mgs of fish oil every single day! (without fail). Do not exceed this dose! Its brain food, and its working for my son, jack. he is almost 7 now, reading, writing his name, drawing, singing, working on computers, nitendo's, understanding tv shows, using words in sentence like., 'Because'....,until..., i said!...,not yet!...,i cant do it!...,in a minute!...,over, under there..., behind...., can i?..., i know!...,let me...., my turn!..., lets go!...,ive had enough!...,im full now..., help me please?..., im busy...etc..., We all have our own beliefs, in what works and what doesnt. I believe fish oil is the answer, because 1 year ago, jack could not do any of this AT ALL. He still attends special ed in year 2, and the only thing keeping him from being mainstreamed now, is his behaviour. I have just read Jens web page, and i know she is on the right track, because every child is an individual, and every child reacts to different treatments. To everyone out there who claims Jens child was misdiagnosed, you really need to do your homework. Anyone who has a child at the age of three, who has no eye contact, HAS AUTISM!!! The diet woked for her son, and the fish oil is working for mine. I am now looking for an additional method for the behaviour side of jack. Jen talks about Candida. I did the questionaire and being a score above 140, is classed as severe. My son scored 370. Im off to the chemist on monday, to try "threelac" as Jen suggested. If this method works, my son may be mainstreamed, and my life and my familys life, will improve. Autism is hard. Very hard. Especially on the siblings. I urge mothers to try everything, until something wakes them up. Regards, deb

Debbie, many people cannot stand her. Many of whom are parents of autistic individuals. I personally believe that she is nothing short of an attention whore. As a person on the spectrum, I know that whenever I have kids, at least one of them will be autistic. As such, I have taken lots of parenting classes and practiced metacognition to improve myself. What the autistic community hates about her is that she is so ignorant and aragant that it insults more mature and selfless parents who accept their autistic children and wouldn't trade them for the world. I know plenty of mothers of autistic children who cannot stand Jenny.

I am writing books about an autistic individual who falls in love with his boss's daughter and has an autistic child. However, his society sees that as a crime worthy of death. As such, he and his family are endlessly harrassed and assaulted. In the end, they all die and the father reveals to the mother that autistic individuals are angels in mortal bodies.
