If you had a fear of flying, you'd react to flying with fear, which doesn't mean the same thing for everyone.

Anyway, coming in from the Asperger's end, it seems reasonable to me, depending on several things. Like the rest of the person's actions. I'd believe that someone would start screaming from the noise in that situation, but only if he consistently showed hypersensitivity to noise and only if screaming were in his repetoire of responses to such situations. Sounds childish, in the sense that with age come other, better, coping mechanisms.


Which is why I would say are they screaming becasue they have a fear of flying or becasue they have aspergers. Remember to that we are all going to hand the sensitivitys we have in different ways. Just like people who have a fear of flying are going to deal with it in different ways.

I guess that's what my real point was. So may scream. Other may be just fine with flying. Others my have a fear and react to and say it's because of there aspergers. Well other's to may have the fear break down and be seen as having aspergers or autism.

I guess it goes back to well we have have the common thing of having autism, aspergers, ADHD, etc that does not mean that we are all going to act and do things in the same way. Unless we are all clones of one another. :P

Back to Jenny....One of my daughters therapists saw some rally that she had for autism here in San Diego a few years ago and Jenny McCarthys son spoke and our therapist said she had a really hard time believing that this kid could have autism.
My theory after reading all her rubbish is that her son had his vaccines and got a fever. Had a febrile seizure (which is very typical in small children). He was put on anti seizure meds which caused him to appear as if he had autism. She went NUTSO and now she realizes that OOOPS she went a bit over the top. She even gave up on her autism school project.
Now shes switched her focus to being a Weight Watchers spokeswoman. Very few are listening to her garbage now so she needs someplace to go!

It's like I said before: according to my former co-worker, she should've just kept her mouth shut, and smiled for Hef's camera.

The last big thing--even on TV--that I remember seeing her on was something for the History Channel. I told my boss at the time about it, and she was laughing her ass off.

You have to wonder if it's all just a play for publicity. You also have to wonder how much clear, coherent, and original thought some people have.

in the case of Jenny McCarthy, just remember this: her portrayal on Singled Out....is pretty much not too far away from how she seems to act in real life.

I think that's all we need to know...

that's an easy one: duct tape over her mouth. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That, or people could just ignore her, and look nostalgically back on her Playboy pictorial before she started opening her yap ':B-)

This makes me glad that Chris Hardwick got the long end of the straw from Singled Out. He has a much better show on tv and always was the funnier one of the two. Jenny is just....a freeloader.

he's been up to a lot since his Singled Out days; nothing all that memorable, but he at least has a steady stream of work; some of it very cool..

For all we know, maybe he got to boink Jenny before she started really annoying everyone....

Jim Carrey I don't think, however got so lucky...

How terrible. She should take pride in her Jenny McCarthytism. We need to teach her to live the best life she can as Jenny McCarthy, and work toward a more accepting society. Instead of allowing Jenny Speaks to fund eugenics research, we need to educate the general public and insist that McCarthytistics be granted equal rights, rather than relegated to institutions! We cannot allow anything to divide us. We cannot simply break off "mild" or "high functioning" McCarthytism and call it Douchebager's. It only serves to divide us, especially because there's really no difference, except in severity. After all, CP is CP regardless of severity. Do not call us idiots, stupid or unfit to live. Instead, accept that we are Jenny McCarthytistics and that is as valid as being an intelligent and reasoning person.

...Something tells me I've made this joke before.
