I’m not a sex symbol.
JENNY MCCARTHYI’m not a sex symbol.
JENNY MCCARTHYI can’t even begin to tell you how many casting couches I was attacked on. Not just by casting people, but by stars.
JENNY MCCARTHYLet me see if I can put this in scientific terms: Think of autism like a fart, and vaccines are the finger you pull to make it happen.
JENNY MCCARTHYAt one point, my house was a school for autistic children. I opened up my doors to about 30 kids and their families at the time. I was turning into Mary Poppins because I had to do something for these kids who have nowhere to go. So my house was the school for two years.
JENNY MCCARTHYWhy should 20-year-olds only be considered sexy? I think we get better with age.
JENNY MCCARTHYI did want to acknowledge and confirm the fact that my son does, indeed, have an autism diagnosis.
JENNY MCCARTHYThe reason why [the medical community] is reluctant to talk about it is because there’s such a huge business in pharmaceuticals.
JENNY MCCARTHYCorner one of the hundreds of doctors who specialize in autism recovery, and they’ll tell you stories of dozens of kids in their practice who no longer have autism. Ask them to speak to the press and they’ll run for the door. They know better.
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 MCCARTHYWithout intervention today, the cost of care for adults with autism will be significantly greater and the burden will no longer lie with the parents, but on our entire society.
JENNY MCCARTHYIt’s absolutely imperative for the parents and the typical kids to have time by themselves, to go out to dinner or even go on vacation while someone else cares for the autistic child.
JENNY MCCARTHYAlmost everyone has or will experience getting dumped in their lifetime. Unless, of course, you’re a nun. Jesus can’t dump nuns.
JENNY MCCARTHYI look at autism like a bus accident, and you don’t become cured from a bus accident, but you can recover.
JENNY MCCARTHYI have my once-a-month nachos, but it’s soy cheese and turkey chili on it, so it’s somewhat safe. But it’s still a big vice for me, because I have a big bowl of it.
JENNY MCCARTHYWaking your kids up for school the first day after a break is almost as much fun as birthing them was.
JENNY MCCARTHYSo basically, I don’t know what I’m talking about. But maybe I do.
