Jenny McCarthy Made Me Cry

I love Jenny McCarthy. She’s hilarious and speaks (and writes) the way I think. Of course I can’t speak that way since I teach and parent, but I love reading her books. I laughed at the first one. I laughed harder at the second. And then I cried reading her latest.

Louder than Words, her new book, take readers through her life when she realized her son has autism and the horrible way she found out. We are not affected by autism at my house (Thank, God), but I have a new and deeper understanding for those that are. Jenny threw herself into helping her son and bringing him back.

Not only that, but her book was inspiring simply because she is the same kind of mommy I am. She will go to hell and back for her son and has to find answers herself, just to make sure the “experts” are right.

Stay strong, Jenny and keep battling on your son’s behalf.

  1. Why do we so many cases of autism? Is it because it is increased from the past, or we are more aware of it?

  2. I’m pretty sure it is actually increasing. Plus we are more aware of it, so there are more cases being diagnosed. Severe or even moderate autism is hard to miss or ignore. I’ve worked with autistic kids in the classroom, and there are so many degrees of the problem, it has to be increasing over time - there is no way it was simply going unnoticed until now.
