Jenny McCarthy

I'm the worst person to tell anybody how to date.

At 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.

I 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 McCarthy

If you give us a safe vaccine, we'll use it. It shouldn't be polio versus autism.

I know children regress after vaccination because it happened to my own son. Why aren't there any tests out there on the safety of how vaccines are administered in the real world, six at a time? Why have only two of the 36 shots our kids receive been looked at for their relationship to autism?

Jenny McCarthy

Jenny McCarthy

Parents of recovered children, and I've met hundreds, all share the same experience of doubters and deniers telling us our child must have never even had autism or that the recovery was simply nature's course. We all know better, and frankly we're too busy helping other parents to really care.

Jenny McCarthy

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 McCarthy

What 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 McCarthy

We can either continue to collectively stand on the sidelines and debate what is causing autism and if it is an epidemic or we can get on the field and start addressing the real problem - a generation of children with autism. We are not focusing enough on prevention, treatments and support services.

Jenny McCarthy

Those outside of autism need to understand this is an epidemic and we need more government funding, insurance coverage and education reform.

Jenny McCarthy

Jenny McCarthy
