Ive heard MANY times that Jenny McCarthy's son has "autism". But I cannot help but wonder where on the spectrum he fits. Does he in fact have Aspergers or is he more classically autistic?

He has always been more on the HFA side, despite what people are led to believe. Hence his "recovery".

According to my Google page, she is also stating that her son "recovered" from autism because of a gluten-free diet and therapy.

I actually thought that WAS Anna Nicole Smith in the photo on the wikipedia entry... they're all like clones, how terrifying.

Even more terrifying to think she might be some kind of a 'celebrity expert' on a neurological syndrome?! I mean, I'm sure she's a nice person and all, and that she means well, and she's not too stupid, but well... as much as I try not to judge proverbial books by their covers and all... 8O :wink:

Frankly I think McCarthy makes Anna Nicole seem like Einstein.

I am surprised to read she is now on the chelation/vaccine bandwagon. Last time I read an article from her, it was all about the special diet, all the improvement was owed to that. Which, really, I don't have a problem with at all. It's kind of a "no harm" treatment, if you've got the time and ability for it. I'd have to go back and re-read, but it seems like her story is changing.

Yeah, she was brainwashed by J.B. Handley.

She, in turn, has Jim Carrey brainwashed. It's really sad.

Honestly, it sounds like he might very well have Asperger Syndrome rather than classic autism. Am I wrong here?
If Im right than why was it reported as just being *autism*? Maybe cuz of his age....

Really sad.

I actually thought she was effective as a spokesperson for the special diet. But THIS?

Thing is, the diet isn't really that special. It's been around for many years as a treatment for Celiac disease. The problem with her promoting it is that she was promoting it as an autism cure, which can't be any further from the truth.
