As someone who has autism, I’m astounded by people who think we don’t have feelings and suffer from emotional loss! I have had alot of bad things happen in my life and suffered from it. Parents divorced etc.. Lost my first friend and had difficulty making more.

Just because you can’t see it on my face doesn’t mean I don’t feel it.

People with autism do cry, people with autism can smile, people with autism may have difficulty expressing verbally certain emotions but we’ll show it in other ways. If you have a problem with the other ways and it has to be your way, the problem is you.

The important thing that I heard from the interview was that her Autistic child started speaking for the first time. If you are a parent of an autistic child and there is something out there that can can help that doesnt have side effects, do some research and find out what it is. This is amazing news people. Jenny said it was a holistic approach, which means no drugs. I like that.

Saph, Being a mother of a child with autism, you should be happy that ANYONE is bringing attention to autism!
Shame on you. Don’t blame Jenny because she was a playmate. Grow UP!

Wow, I’m surprised at all the negativity here. Ya’ll should read her books. She is a great mother and an awesome lady. She deserves to have the love of a man. And why are so many people so sure that they will break up? I’m happy for Jenny and Jim. And for Evan, too. He is lucky to be surrounded with loving, caring people.

To be honest, I know Autistic children who are high functioning at the very LEAST will show emotional withdraws, and it’s quite possible that if a breakup does happen, her child will regress. I am a mom of an Autistic daughter, and I know what it’s like, and when your a MOM that can’t hire a babysitter, you don’t have time to yourself, and that’s ok! Just astounds me that no one recognizes autism til some ex-playmate pops up with a child who has it, then the world turns on thier ear to hear what they have to say. That’s the part that pisses me off.

do you all have to be so negative??? Just know that Jim is very helpful to this boy right now. And if you knew anything about autistic children, they are not affected by emotional loss

Me parece muy bien que Jim, ayude al hijo de su pareja que es Jenny MC Cartney. Y que Jim es un genio y un grande en todo sentido,y es un grande tambien para ayudar a los demas, a mi me encata como es sea gracioso o sea serio. es un tipazo, es el munero uno.

Sounds like she’s using men again thats all she ever does. Jim can give her the cash and the lifestyle John didnt and Ray served his purpose.

Does anyone realize how bad it’s going to be for that poor kid when those two break up? Think of all the little ones involved lately that are falling (or will fall) into the wake of the self-centered,disposable relationship pattern of ‘celebrity’.
