When I opened this document to write this blog post, I confess that it was going to be something about how dangerous and ignorant I feel Jenny McCarthy is. I went to YouTube and looked for a video of her spewing her ignorance, but I realized, I cannot stand to look at or listen to her and I don’t feel playing her message in one more spot is the right idea. So, instead of that, I have decided to address you specifically.

I am a mother of one child that has Asperger’s Syndrome. When I write this, please know that I am not writing as a beacon for the entire community. I am not asking you to donate money to me or any cause, and I am not profiting from anything that I say here. I am saying it out of love for my child and concern for all parents and children that go through the same things that we do on a daily basis.
