Denis Leary says Autism Crisis due to “Inattentive Mothers”
Denis Leary is known for his edgy, take no prisoners straight shooting humor but this time I think he missed the mark pretty badly. Denis has a new book Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid. In it he decides to pontificate on the Autism crisis sweeping the country:
“There is a huge boom in autism right now because inattentive mothers and competitive dads want an explanation for why their dumb-ass kids can’t compete academically, so they throw money into the happy laps of shrinks . . . to get back diagnoses that help explain away the deficiencies of their junior morons. I don’t give a [bleep] what these crackerjack whack jobs tell you – yer kid is NOT autistic. He’s just stupid. Or lazy. Or both.”
The Autism Society of American issued this statement in response:
“For Mr. Leary to suggest that families or doctors conspire to falsely diagnose autism is ridiculous . . . [His] remarks reflect the same misconceptions of autism being caused by bad or unemotional parenting that were held over 50 years ago.”
Jenny McCarthy may have to wait in line for a chance to knock some sense into old Denis.
I hope to be the first to knock some sense into him. The punk’s PR rep emailed me his nonsense apology. You can read it on my blog:
