McCarthy is a NUT CASE!!! Her son does still have autism....McCarthy has stated, and I have heard her myself, that her son still cannot be brought into a public situation or he has seizures!!!! She'll end up killing her son due to her quackery acts....of course, then she'll blame the vaccines.

Let's not forget that this is the woman who thought she was an indigo mother...and more importantly that their are tons of awesome autistic kids out there who shouldn't have to listen to this attention whore make them feel like damaged people who need to be fixed.

Southsider, u just don't like her that's all, if u don't believe whatever she thinks about autism, then don't watch any of her vids. she is now a mother of an autistic child and not a whore like what u said..i think u remember Jenny McCarthy the sex symbol yrs. ago.. this is all about autism, try to be a mature for christ's sake!

You are right. I don't like her. I will watch her videos because I want to know what kind of garbage people are hearing. I work with autistic kids all the time. In fact, it was the mothers of these kids who initially kept me up to date w/ what she was claiming as they rolled their eyes. She is harmful, especially for new mothers who are just learning. They need to be warned of her before they cause their kids harm. Do you really think she is mature? Please!!!! Anything for publicity.

Jenny was a playboy model, if she was just an ordinary woman , maybe ppl would take her seriously, why someone would call her a hoe, not because of her opinion but because of her image or her past , that's all. she's doing this not to get attention , she's doing this because she's a mother of an autistic boy. as i have said before , she cannot pleased everybody because of her "image" or her past. she has good intention , she's a mother now, not a playboy model or any names u can call.

She is a mother. That does not make her right. There are several mothers of autistic children who completely disagree with her because they educate themselves with reliable and accurate information. Are they wrong because they are not loud and obnoxious?

By the way, seriously listen to her. She constantly talks about when this happened to HER and how hard it was for HER. Silly me, I thought Evan was the one with the diagnosis. Also, if you really listen, her story changes.

It offends because she states her OPINION as fact. Thanks to youtube, we can watch old videos. Her opinion has changed over time, although she acts as if it hasn't. She scares parents while making them suspicious of physicians who actually are qualified to and should give medical advice. She ignores research simply because it disproves her claims. She makes parents of autistic kids feel like bad parents because they have not found the "magic cure".

I am not criticizing natural medicine. Bowl problems do occure in a sizable population of autistic children which might be why the diet seems to work in some cases. Just be careful when it comes to natural medicine since there are so many charlatans that take advantage of people. The latest example would be with the acai berry scam. It is effective, but the claims far excede the evidence of its effectiveness. There is one quack autism treatment which requires extensive use of Lupron.

Lupron is a drug used in the chemical castration of sex offenders. I would never subject my children to anti-depressents due to my experience with them as a child.
