When I first went public with my son Evan’s story, I just planned to talk about the ‘R’ word – Recovery. But soon I was spending most my time talking about the ‘V’ word – vaccines.

JENNY MCCARTHYHaving a child makes you realize the importance of life – narcissism goes out the window. Heaven on earth is looking at my little boy. The minute he was born, I knew if I never did anything other than being a mom, I’d be fine.
JENNY MCCARTHYI wished to God the doctor had handed me a pamphlet that said, ‘Hey, sorry about the autism, but here’s a step-by-step list on what to do next.’ But doctors don’t do that. They say ‘sorry’ and move you along.
JENNY MCCARTHYWhen I was a little girl, rocking my little dolls, I remember thinking I would be the world’s best mom, and so far I’ve done it.
JENNY MCCARTHYJust keep trying, and your dreams will come true. But you have to give it all your time, effort, and soul.
JENNY MCCARTHYMy tricks are, I get Botox in my forehead-I just have my doctor do a little shot there. if you overdo, it looks bad. I believe in just a little bit. It allows you to keep that mobility in your face. It’s a great little secret.
JENNY MCCARTHYHope is the greatest thing for moms of autism. Hope is what gets us out of bed in the morning. I’m on a mission to tell parents that there is a way.
JENNY MCCARTHYWhat is missing from today’s dialogue is the effect autism is having on families, our society and what the unknown factors are. The 300lb. gorilla in the room is that our children with autism today will soon become adults with autism.
JENNY MCCARTHYWhat are friends for? They are the ultimate reflection of yourself. Always surround yourself with people who inspire you and return the favor by giving them the best of you.
JENNY MCCARTHYI tried a few times, unsuccessfully, to lose weight. It wasn’t until I joined Weight Watchers that I was finally able to do it. I went to meetings and my son came with me. The best thing was that I could eat what I wanted and still lose weight. Slow and steady, I was getting my pre-pregnancy body back.
JENNY MCCARTHYThe one thing I like about ‘Playboy’ is they don’t have the anorexic look. The women are voluptuous. So I didn’t really want to diet. I just wanted to tone up.
JENNY MCCARTHYI’m not as hard on myself anymore. I’m comfortable exactly where I am, though it took me until I was 34 years old! I still have things I’m really insecure about, but I’ve changed by loving me – C-section scars, stretch marks, and all.
JENNY MCCARTHYI do believe sadly it’s going to take some diseases coming back to realize that we need to change and develop vaccines that are safe.
JENNY MCCARTHYI didn’t have to work out before 35 but now I have to.
JENNY MCCARTHYIf you give us a safe vaccine, we’ll use it. It shouldn’t be polio versus autism.
JENNY MCCARTHYInformation on how to heal autism and how to possibly delay vaccines or prevent autism shouldn’t come from me. It should come from the medical establishment.
