@Jennifer, I would say that most people who seek a label of autism, Asperger’s, autism spectrum disorder for a child are doing it for very real reasons, and in recognition of the neurological challenges their child faces. Not quite sure what “autism spectrum stuff” you are referring to; certainly we try to do our best to help our son through the complications.

Dean: “I have never seen an autistic kid that didn’t have complete bed-wetting lettuces for ‘pair-rents‘”.

And I never encountered anyone like Dean who didn’t have useless shits for parents.

Touché?

Arsehole.

I don’t necessarily approve of the language he used, but maybe he’s sick of seeing everything called autism. So am I. People can’t even take extreme interest in one specific non-social topic anymore without being labeled “autistic.” What’s wrong with wanting to hang out with people who are older or younger? Young people have traditionally learned how to socialize from older people. Adolescents used to want to BE adults rather than rebelling against adult culture. Have you read some of that “autism spectrum” stuff? It makes childhood existence sound so complicated. I feel sorry for those dealing with the difficulties of actual autism, but I also feel sorry for the youths who are being told that they have a genetic social inferiority. They could miss out on a lot by believing that. Denis Leary did clarify his statement later. His feelings are similar to mine and I also think that many parents try to use labels to try to escape the heartache of believing that their children would choose to do something that bothers them (the parents) a lot.

One suggestion… wait until Dennis Leary’s book goes out of print (I doubt this will be a best seller) and then sue him for fraud. He claims to be “Dr. Dennis Leary” and is using that to sell advice. Last time I check, that constitutes fraud. Maybe even practising without a license? Anyone out there up on the law? (Note: don’t sue now, you’ll only drive up the sales).

well Dean, apparently it must be whom you associate with because if you would just take a good look around, your uneducated mind would soon learn that autism affects every kind of family from all backrounds regardless of what kind of parents they have.

I agree one hundred and fifteen percent. I have never seen an autistic kid that didn’t have complete bed-wetting lettuces for “pair-rents”
