Oh reading this thread makes me so happy. I gritted my teeth throughout that Oprah episode she was on, I wanted to punch her. She seriously got a girl FIRED for suggesting her precious angel was autistic??????? The other one, Holly Robinson-Peete pissed me off two. A Playboy Bunny and a former 90's sitcom actress sitting there like the reigning experts on autism. I can't stand either of them and I'm so pleased to see there is a large group of us who have a problem with Jenny being the posterchild for eradicating autism.

*edit* demoluca have you posted the letter?
http://www.oprah.com/community/community/health/autism?view=discussions is a good place for it. I'm on there, I'll support you 100%

I bought her book. Very funny.
I didn't know neurotypicals - real people, apparently - could be so stupid!
I'm glad that, thanks to Asperger and the mutation causing such, that I am technically not the same species as her.

But Psycho Jimmy, if her son is autistic then she may share the gene with us!!! No wait - according to a nurse I know, they believe autism travels on the male line. It does in my family. So...it came from his dad. So we're not the same species. Thank god. I don't want to be related to a Playboy Bunny.

Has anyone thought that this McCarthy might be a desendant to the Senator Mccarthy whose baseless accusations of Communism during the early Cold War helped fester the Red Scare?

IF so, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

If you want Jenny to read, trying joining the official forum on Oprah.com. Not a bad forum, and I'm trying to get more of us over there to kick Jenny's butt and speak for ourselves.
