I was watching some videos on youtube od Jenny McCarthy Oprah, and I really don't like her... she acts like she a 'savior' for autisics and has pulled in Oprah to her cause.

She keeps talking about her 'mommy instinct' and how her life ended after hearing her son has autism. What I really don't like is how she describes how her son got seizures and nearly died... autism dosn't do that! It dosn't kill you. The fact that your letter got removed just shows that Oprah is in the mind-set of 'if you are not on my side, then you are wrong'. She already tells people what to read and think.

People like Jenny want their kids to be 'perfect' and get upset when they do not turn out the way they 'want' them to be, this kind of behavior can lead to 'designer babies' in the future, the creepy thing is that the technology for that purpose is being explored.

The final thing that really annoyed me about her is made her hairstyle drape over her eye, yet she kept waving it back.... she had to have been doing that at least 50 times in the show. Don't have your hari like that if you don't want it in your eye!

And people like her are the ones who end up abusing their autistic children. I hope that her son becomes high functioning enough, to be able to tell her off, when he watches the video tapes to that articular show, many years from now.

He's always been high-functioning and surprisingly, hasn't regressed from the damage she's doing to him.

Yet, anyway.

Well if he's high-functioning, then why is she still all in an uproar?

I cant wait for her son to come of age and call her out...

Very odd.

They deleted it because you were supporting autism?

People who are anti autism seem to be against the positive side of autism so they remove letters that have anything to do with it, heck even autism speaks doesn't want autistic people on it when they are saying good things about it. I have heard the talk on here.

How is Jenny abusing her kid? What I read about her, she sounded like a loving mother who got her son help and it made him high functioning. And how is she damaging her son?

Great letter. If I wrote one, it wouldn't be so friendly, but you know.

Assuming she's not using chelation or any similarly dangerous "treatment," then she probably isn't doing damage. She's promoting quack therapies with little scientific proof behind them, but that isn't necessarily abuse. OTOH, I am a bit disturbed by the excessive promotion of Evan as the poster-boy for "vaccine damage" and "autism recovery." I think that may well be harmful to him later in life. At a young age, his entire public identity is being constructed as someone who was "recovered" from autism. That's not stuff you call into CPS about, but it's nevertheless problematic. I'm sure my partner's parents thought he was "recovered" from autism at that age, too. (He was diagnosed PDD-NOS at a young age.) But he wasn't "cured" and was later diagnosed with AS. I can't imagine how much worse this may have been had his parents been foolish and egocentric enough to parade him around as a poster-child of "autism recovery." Of course, celebrities' kids frequently receive some questionable treatment.

That poor kid will probably grow up being forced to hide the autistic traits he will still have after his supposed "recovery", just so his mom can keep earning her money.
He'll be an anxiety-ridden mess by the end of his teen years.

I've seen the same thing happen before. Some time ago Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay posted a review of "Strange son" on Amazon, saying that it was like a slap in the face - he had considered Portia Iversen to be a friend, and her coming out with a book that described him in such ugly terms behind his back was a base move that ruined any trust he had had in her. The review was then repeatedly removed, until Tito commented on its deletion and remarked that it was, at best, strange.

It was disturbing to see him being denied any say when it came to a book that was, to a large extent, about himself. I got the impression that Iversen had used Tito (and Soma) as a means to an end, and once the end was achieved, she simply tried to discard and silence him.

It's more than just an abstract notion of "not seeing anything positive about autism".

As for McCarthy, I'll keep my opinion of her to myself. She's had some...blonde moments, to put it mildly, which make me doubt how well-informed she is with regard to autism and related issues. I can only hope she doesn't use any potentially hazardous and unproven "therapies" on her son because of it.

Oh reading this thread makes me so happy. I gritted my teeth throughout that Oprah episode she was on, I wanted to punch her. She seriously got a girl FIRED for suggesting her precious angel was autistic??????? The other one, Holly Robinson-Peete pissed me off two. A Playboy Bunny and a former 90's sitcom actress sitting there like the reigning experts on autism. I can't stand either of them and I'm so pleased to see there is a large group of us who have a problem with Jenny being the posterchild for eradicating autism.

*edit* demoluca have you posted the letter?
http://www.oprah.com/community/communit ... iscussions is a good place for it. I'm on there, I'll support you 100%

I bought her book. Very funny.
I didn't know neurotypicals - real people, apparently - could be so stupid!
I'm glad that, thanks to Asperger and the mutation causing such, that I am technically not the same species as her.

But Psycho Jimmy, if her son is autistic then she may share the gene with us!! ! No wait - according to a nurse I know, they believe autism travels on the male line. It does in my family. So...it came from his dad. So we're not the same species. Thank god. I don't want to be related to a Playboy Bunny.
