I’d hate to have her ticked at me. But,her kid is suffering, and like a mother bear with a cub. Don’t mess with her.

Believe what you want but the number of autism cases has ballooned to epidemic levels since the addition of thermisol a mercury dirivative used as a vaccine preservative and the increase of the number of childhood vaccinations to children of a younger age. From the article Jenny McCarthy: My son’s recovery from autism
Autism is a debilitating disorder, which according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is suffered by 1 in 150 kids, making it more common than childhood cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined.
Recently, England and Ireland reported that autism is affecting one in 58 individuals.
Many people aren’t aware that in the 1980s our children received only 10 vaccines by age 5, whereas today they are given 36 immunizations, most of them by age 2. With billions of pharmaceutical dollars, could it be possible that the vaccine program is becoming more of a profit engine then a means of prevention?
Of course the medical and pharmaceutical industries are going to deny that there is any problem if only because the admission would be a legal nightmare. But someone believes that there may be some substance to the thousands of unhappy parents. From Vaccine-autism question divides parents, scientists
Michelle’s autism claim is one of 4,900 in a single case before a special federal court, dubbed the “vaccine court,” part of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The court picked Michelle’s claim as the first of a total of nine test cases from the 4,900.

Hasn’t autism also skyrocketed since American women began to have kids at age 40? Causation v. correlation. Which is it?

Causation v. correlation. Which is it?
Isn’t this the question that needs to be seriously examined by the medical community? The public deserves to know if there is an avoidance factor here, be it vaccines or age or whatever, that they can use if they wish to minimize the autism risk.
She doesn’t represent my part of the autism community. (Can we sue for misrepresentation?)

That’s a really stupid comment. She doesn’t say that she represents the community (whatever that is) and she does have a right to her own opinions and her own legal actions in behave of her own austistic children.
Samatha, so far you haven’t posted a single thing refuting my statements. If you really cared about the state of escalating austic rates in this country you would be supportive of efforts to find the underlying causes. I believe that is the real mission of people like Jenny.

Docdave, all I have to say to you is what I said on the other post you have been commenting on:
Docdave, autistic individuals have their own thoughts and ideas about their existence that are often at odds with what the more well known advocates have to say about them. You can either show them the respect and consideration due them as human beings by listening to what they say or you can go on along the path you have thus far traveled. That’s really all there is to it.
While you (and Jenny) are busy trying to stir up a debate about causes, cures, and non-existent epidemics actual autistic individuals are making raising their own voices about what they actually need. Are you willing to listen?

Comment from an autistic individual about Jenny on Larry King Live from another blog I read,
