Jenny McCarthy’s son is autistic:
In Touch can exclusively reveal that the comic has written a memoir about her quest to help her 4-year-old son, Evan, called Louder than Words: A Mother’s Journey In Healing Autism.
“It’s a heartbreaking story about a serious health issue,” Jenny tells In Touch. It’s quite serious, profound and beautiful. I’m hoping this book will shift the world. It’s an Oprah book, for sure…” Jenny, 34, believes that Evan (whose father is her ex-husband John Asher) is a “crystal child” with angelic abilities that make him vulnerable and powerful. “Evan is hypersensitive to air and water,” Jenny reveals. She’s now made it her life’s mission to change the education system to make it better for kids like Evan. “I want our children to start each day in silent meditation,” she writes. “I want organic cafeterias, outdoor class sessions, getting rid of rote memorization. I want it all.”
So yeah. I don’t know about this Crystal Child bullpucky – perhaps she was watching too many Never Ending Story reruns on TNN. And hey! Silent meditiation and organic food, huh? Why don’t you just start with getting kids some DAMN BOOKS? Oh, lawdy. Go back to modelling for Playboy and shut your piehole.
And sorry about your kid. That’s sad. You’re still a moron though.

As a Mom of a boy diagnosed with PDD-NOS I have to say how angry it makes me when I hear people say how “sorry” they are with my child’s diagnose. Sorry seems so final….our kids are not dead!! We have beautiful kids that have many, many qualities. They may need extra work but they are still fabulous kids. I believe the worst thing you can say to a Mother is how “sorry you are for their child.” No,no, no!! tell them how its now time to work hard, get informed and help that child reach his or her potential no matter what that might be. Kids on the spectrum have the ability to learn, to love, to interact with people and so much more. My son never stops surprising me. So Mom’s don’t give up and fight for your child. He or she will teach YOU things you never knew.
Jenny,
I just got done reading belly laughs. OMG was it funny. I am 33 a year behind you and i have a 10yr and a 3yr and one who will be here June 27th and i have had all c sections. I was reading it yesterday in the dentist office and i was reading the part about snail trail, and the O’s and the constipation there was a guy a dad of an older girl right across from me, and i was laughing so hard i was crying my daughter of coarse wanted to know what i was reading so i lied a little bit and used different words but he must of thought i was nuts or on some really good drugs. I am really sorry about Evan and i would love to share some of my stories with you so you can put them in a book, i am alot like you personality wise not looks or star status, I wish ha hahahahahah, but i have worked with Autism children and i love them they actually teach me sometimes , i will pray for you and your son and please do not worry, very easy for me to say but it always works out, and God will not give you something he knows you can’t handle so think of it as a stepping stone. Take care and i can’t wait to read the rest of the books. Love Always Nikki
Dear Jenny,
My son was also recently diagnosed with an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder). I am lucky enough that he is only 2 and is currently receiving ABA therapy through Early Intervention. (this therapy is very expensive) His therapy started 3 weeks ago and already what a progress. It is no easy task as he has preschool 3 times a week and therapy 4 times a week. He will most definitly have to go to a special ed pre-school when he turns 3 and enters the school system but we are hoping by time he reaches kindergarden he will be just like the rest of the kids in regards to his deficits. All of this is an emotional roller coaster and denial is a scary dark place, however once it is digested and accepted is when you begin to help your child. I can’t wait to read your book- I read Belly Laughs and totally related to it and am looking forward to relating to this one as well. Good Luck with your son Evan- he is adorable. Another great resource book is “The Autism Sourcebook” by Karen Siff Exkorn. I was on a 2 month waiting list with Amazon but it was definitly worth the wait.
Jenny:
I am also a mom 3 autistic childern and live in IL. I can honestly say I know what you’re going thourgh. I have this awesome resource guide, its called “Autism Treatment Guide”, by Elizabeth Kling Gerlach. Knowing you that you are a mover and shaker. I don’t mean it literally. You probably have this book all ready. I really love this book. It defines how to work with the school during thier IEP’s (Individual Education Programs) to help meet the childs needs not the school’s needs. It talks about Biomedical Intervention, Nutrition, Dietary Intervention, Sensory/Physical Therapy etc…..
Awsome resources alos are Star.net. It’s an organization made up para-professionals, mom’s, dad’s & voluteer’s. They go out in the communities and advocate during IEP’s, training teacher on how to approach a child w/ autism, go into a class room and sit and observe a child w/ autism to find out what a teacher can do to better his education etc.
What the general public doesn’t understand that autism is not only one condition it’s HUGE umbrela of cognative and social disorder. People assume autism is like the movie RAIN MAN, which thier are indiviuals as such as that character. But, you also have high function autistic individuals that might have Sensory Intergration Dsyfunction, Pervaseive Development Disorder, Asperger’s, Autism Spectrum Disorder etc. ….
It’s boat load of stuff. Also they really don’t know if vaccines causes this disorder, but they due know it is gentically based and the enviorment has something to due with it.
My hats off to you for letting the public know your challenge in your perssonal life w/ Evan. Keep the fight! Your ABSOULTLEY right Evan is a CRYSTAL ANGEL.
Jenny:
I have read your first 2 books and am in the process of reading your 3rd “Life Laughs.” I am sorry to hear about Evan. You are a very dedicated Mother, and a strong person as well. I am sure your book will bring many people a lot of insite about autism. I worked with Autistic children while in the Philippines as a Peace Corp Volunteer. Yes, the behaviors, and excentricities can be a bit much… I believed then and believe now persistence, and love are keys to winning this “battle” For Gods sake get your feet into the education system, and don’t take no, or placating as answers. You have your work cut out for you. I believe you will make changes happen. Good Luck, You go girl… and God be with you..
Jenny im am so sorry to hear about your precious son.There is help out there to reverse the effects of the horrible reactions to vaccines,that are slowly hurting/sometimes killing our children.talk to a homeopath doctor.must reads:a shot in the dark
