[QUOTE="Janna, post: 89380, member: 2737"] Marg, Jenny McCarthy, on Larry King, said she went to Google, typed in Google + Autism, and up came a link. It read (her quote): "AUTISM IS CURABLE". She clicked on the link, and changed Evan's diet, and he's cured. He's a normal, healthy 5 year old bouncing bubble of joy now. Seriously. Yeah, I saw the Oprah one, but she was also on Larry King, and she's also done a few other articles promoting her book. The thing that annoys me the most is that she spreads the word "Autism" around, but never makes mention of anything else. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. Rhetts. Aspergers. The doctor that follows her around saying his son was Autistic too (can't recall his name now, would have to go back and watch it from Larry King) does the same. "He has Autism". Really? WHAT KIND of Autism? Who knows. Just Autism. Never hear words like spectrum, echolai, obsessions, tantrums. Other thing that are associated with Autism. Her son isn't even in school yet. Talk to me in 2 years. I just think she's overpromoting her book, and it's sickening. TYPICALLY, Autistic kids are not just "curable". Not even with years of therapy and interventions. You know this, Marg. It's no secret. She just appears, to me, in my opinion, to be pretty ignorant. I think it's great she threw the word Autism around. But, in my eyes, that's about all she's done. So, yeah for her. Quote from MicheleL: The other day he was taking a bath and I usually help him by rubbing some soap under his arms and whiping his face because he "forgets". He point blank asked me "why are you helping me take a bath, I'm 9 now". Now I realize part of the problem is me. I do too much for him that he could learn to do for himself. It's my job to let him even though it's easier to just do it myself. So many ways to be part of the problem here. I love you, Michele LOL! I do the same things. I have been overexhausted making sure Dylan washes right, brushes right, puts on his underwear right LMAO! Ugh, it's exhausting, no matter what the label or diagnosis or whatever you want to call it.
