Those outside of autism need to understand this is an epidemic and we need more government funding, insurance coverage and education reform.
Jenny McCarthyI did want to acknowledge and confirm the fact that my son does, indeed, have an autism diagnosis.
Jenny McCarthyMarriage is a pretty amazing thing when you think about it. For two people to live together for so long under the same roof is a big accomplishment. Fifty-year anniversaries are becoming extinct, yet again proving that long marriages deserve awards and praise. Sometimes I see old people in restaurants sitting together eating their meals and I watch them. Sometimes it makes me sad. They don't even talk. Is it because they have nothing else to say, or can they simply read each other's mind by now?
Jenny McCarthyIt can be hard for the cute girl. I was blond, cute, broke. I was beat up. I was thrown inside lockers. I was burned with cigarettes. My hair was lit on fire.
Jenny McCarthyNo I don't have a sex tape and I'm kind of upset that I don't. You know why? 'Cause I'm really good.
Jenny McCarthyWhat are friends for? They are the ultimate reflection of yourself. Always surround yourself with people who inspire you and return the favor by giving them the best of you.
Jenny McCarthyI 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 McCarthyKids will not listen to that. They're going to experiment no matter what, so you have to be honest.
Jenny McCarthyI look at autism like a bus accident, and you don't become cured from a bus accident, but you can recover.
Jenny McCarthyWaking your kids up for school the first day after a break is almost as much fun as birthing them was.
Jenny McCarthyI'm so scared girls look at my breast implants and think, 'To get boys, you need big boobs.' I tell them, 'Don't get it done. Those fears go away. You develop other insecurities, but breasts aren't one of them.' I want to get them half-size.
Jenny McCarthyCraziest thing I've done for love is getting married. I think it's crazy. I think it's crazy, crazy, crazy. I'm never going to say I wouldn't do it again but I have to make sure it's love and not settling for the 'I have to do this by a certain age,' which is kind of what I did.
Jenny McCarthyI deserve to be happy and I think a lot of people stay in relationships for wrong reasons and instead of just looking at each other and just saying, 'you know, it's like sands of the hourglass, we learned our lessons, we can end in war or we can end in peace.'
Jenny McCarthyFor a seriously autistic kid, the best prognosis might be getting into a mainstream school without being too much of a shadow. For a moderately autistic kid the best prognosis is full recovery.
Jenny McCarthyGoogle is one of the most incredible breakthroughs that we have today. Yes, it can scare a lot of patients, thinking we're all dying because we look up something on Google. But there's also a lot of anecdotal information from parents, firsthand accounts of what they did for their own child.
Jenny McCarthyJust keep trying, and your dreams will come true. But you have to give it all your time, effort, and soul.
Jenny McCarthyWhen 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 McCarthyI guess now that I think back, I used to play priest and be a funny priest. I don't know, I grew up in such a Catholic family that I kind of liked to test the boundaries a little bit and I think I had fun watching my mom laugh.

We are not focusing enough on prevention, treatments and support services.
Jenny McCarthyI usually have my protein at lunch and my carbs at night - I don't mix protein and carbs.
