Jenny McCarthy's Good Cause

  I have 2 boys /ASD. My boys aren't recovered but they have benefitted GREATLY from dietary & biomed along w/traditional therapies. They couldn't attend or respond to therapy UNTIL they had the right diet/biomed in place. It gave us back their eye contact, smiles, personality, attention, focus, sound sleep & relieved their constipation, diahrea & pain. It

  My son has Asperger's syndrome, which is part of the Autistic spectrum. Jenny is great, any press on Autism is good press. Unless you have a child with Autism you will never understand how heartbreaking it is. I completely understand why Jenny is so dedicated to this cause. When you hear the diagnosis "your son has autism" your entire life is turned up-side down. Shame

  horse_luv78, you say she is giving people not directly affected by autism the wrong idea - and what 'idead' is that? That there is a cure? I think not - she is trying to raise funds to hopefully find some kind of cure. To be honest, I have a 12 year son with autism and I meet way too many people with the wrong idea about it - I find it easier to ignore them now.

  No there is no known cure..but we have tried fishoil and it has helped alot.. we also have tried some things in her book.. our main downfall with my nephew is he also has diabetes.. the true problem.. is rude ass people who dont understand and laugh at him or tell us we need to whip hin (which doesnt work with him by the way) if you dont understand the disorder keep your rude comments to yourself

  My nephew has autisim and it is great that the celebraties are making this horrible disease more real to people. my nephew is a loving sweet boy but being in the rural area we are in we have found no one to help. Instead of talking about her rudely.. you should be thanking God that you and your love ones do not have this. As now it is 1 in every 155 kids do..

  Yes, there is currently NO cure for Autism, and we should focus more on available treatments, research and funding instead. I definitely applaud Jenny for her efforts to raise awareness for Autism in general...but not necessarily for TACA. I also feel that her sons recent diagnosis has not given her enough experience and/or credibility in this subject, so it's hard to take her seriously.

  That's just the name of her foundation, she's not actually trying to suggest that there is a cure. The foundation raises money for treatments and research in hopes that one day they may find a cure. There is no KNOWN cure, but that doesn't mean there never will be one. She's doing a good thing, leave her alone people.

  She is a quack. You cannot cure autism. MY 5 yr old son is autistic and there are treatments and therapies to help with autism, but nothing that definiately cures autism. It is great that she is being a voice for autism, but I really think she is giving people are not directed affected by autism the wrong idea.

  I saw her on Oprah and thought it was a very powerful show. I wish her and her son the best of luck.

  Vita, check the back of Jenny's books. She has given to many charities! She is a SELFLESS, GENEROUS person. And any parent who has a child with a disease, illness, or handicapp finds them self pushing and promoting by any means necessary to find a cure. So, Jenny keep on keepin on!!!
