I just on Facebook that she her own show. I don't know if I ever want to watch it.

I know she has an autistic child. Is the child ret*d or Aspie, or some other PDD? Someone know?

Not the most brainy person in the world as far as I can tell. Implants, bleached hair, famous for posing Playboy and some MTV dating show around 15 years ago or so.

Any opinions on her, her child, and/or the show?

She claimed that she "saved" her son a few years ago. She doesn't even know what she's talking about. Autism isn't a monster that steals a child's soul.

The mean, bitter part of me wishes for Jenny McCarthy to be struck mute. She's an embarrassment to perfectly good neurotypicals everywhere, and I'm not too proud to share a gender with her, either. I really feel bad for her kid. Poor Evan, growing up with Jenny for a mommy.

There are fates, many fates, worse than autism. If Jenny McCarthy was my mom, I'd withdraw into my own little world too. I swear she's one of those stupid women who like babies because you can dress them up in outfits that complement what you're wearing and write onto them anything you want to.

Tabula rasa, my ass. And I'M the one without empathy or theory of mind??? Really??? People like that make me think theory of mind must be very uncommon indeed.

According to many experts, her son Evan isn't Autistic at all. His symptoms are more consistent with [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landau–Kleffner_syndrome]Landau Kleffner Syndrome[/url].

That's fascinating. I read her stupid book and that does sound very much like what she described.

I should be more fair. I'm sure it was very painful for her. I'm sure I would be in a great deal of pain if something radical happened to one of my kids.

I find it hard to be fair. I am so sick of all the names I have been called and all the misunderstandings. I am tired of only being allowed to view myself through neurotypical eyes. It's time for "fair" to be a two-way street.

Same here. I've been waiting for her to shut her cake hole for years.

I remember when my sister saved me from autism, it kidnapped me when I was a baby and took me to its kingdom, where it sang beautifully and always wore very tight pants.

Yes. SpiderFan is mocking the Autism Speaks-induced idea that Autism "kidnaps" children.

Thank you Kuribo, I thought the "Labyrinth" joke was obvious.
