She was convinced that vaccines caused autism, saying that the CDC could eat their words when they said otherwise.

She was supposed to be talking about that, but I felt she was intolerant of anyone who didn't believe what she did. Among other things she said that her child died when he developed autism.

Is it me, or does this woman come off as rude and disrespectful? I also wondered if she could secretly be convinced she was responsible for her child's autism.

Seriously, I wanted to yell at her.

Good thing I didn't see that otherwise I would have been really angry!
She has her beliefs about Autism which I guess is ok but she is incredibly rude pushing them they way she does. Her child did not die when he devloped autism, he just changed. Her son is still alive and she should be thankful it is just autism and not something like cancer.
I find her arrogant, intolerant (as you say) and her attitude about autism just makes me wild.

She's not very smart. She grew up near me. My sister went to the same high school she went to. They've pretty much disowned her over there.

I saw that too and I always get very irritated when I see her. I am against vaccination for children and find it annoying that people like her get all the attention. Same thing for autism. Awareness is good but what she is advocating is just plain hateful. She kept saying her son 'died in front of her' then Larry King asked 'What your son is dead??' and she just repeated that he died and that she sees tons of dead kids like him all the time. I cannot wait for her son to grow up and she can become dead to him.

what a bimbo
I remember she was on a talk show and she said she said out loud to herself at home "I'm so horny" So her kid went to school and started saying "I'm so horny" to the other kids.

Really? Just because she wasn't smart?

Its a Catholic all girls school run by Nuns. Whereas my old high school the all guy school right next to it is proud to produce John C. Reilly(Talledaga Nights, Walk Hard) and have a plaque of him on the wall with all the other famous alumni like michael Flatly, The girls school acts as though she never existed and never mentions her amoung the successful alumni from there.

I heard she swore quite a lot on this appearance. Can anyone confirm this? I have a very good reason why.

She is well and truly under Brad Handley's spell.
