Denis Leary issued a press release Wednesday which I was unaware of when I wrote yesterday’s piece about the chapter on autism in his upcoming book. In the statement, he says that the oft-quoted piece from his book is being used out of context and doesn’t mean what it is being interpreted to mean: The [...]
I used to like Denis Leary. His edgy, angry humor had a talent for making me laugh. With Rescue Me, he has proved he has some admirable acting skill as well. But in his latest book he wipes all that away by proving that despite his talents he is…a moron. It seems Leary’s been listening [...]
If your autistic child is like mine, holiday shopping is a bit, well, challenging. Unlike "normal" kids her age, Bridget likes so few toys.

And yet PETA’s latest campaign in their no-holds-barred attempt to value animals above people is a campaign modeled after the famous "Got Milk?" ads that say "Got Autism?" and purport to be warning people that drinking milk [...]
I knew when I wrote my previous piece (Jenny McCarthy Ticks Me Off) that it was likely to bring out the extremists to argue with me about it (which it did in the comments of it – I’ll spare you the recitation of the usual arguments by the anti-vaccination extremists but they are all there). [...]
There. I said it. She’s a pretty celebrity mom (and the media just adores celebrity moms right now) who has a heartwarming story to tell about "fighting to save her child". She’s everywhere, ranting about vaccine safety and plugging her books. The problem is that her views aren’t backed up by medical science. Her views [...]
