Denis Leary calls autistic kids stupid and lazy
Do you remember stand-up comedian Denis Leary? He’s reviving his career with a new book titled Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid. At first glance, the title might make you think that it’s a humorous look at North America’s flailing work ethic, kids who are spoiled and want everything without working for it, that sort of thing. That could be an interesting book.
However, he takes a huge pot-shot at autistic children and their parents, and that has a lot of people up in arms. In one section of his book he writes:
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.
Wow. Really?
I can’t imagine how parents with kids on the spectrum must feel - I don’t, and I am so angry to read that. I know this is a man who made a career out of being offensively funny, but this is just offensive period - not funny.
I can’t wait to hear what Jenny McCarthy has to say since she’s been such a strong and outspoken voice in championing for understanding of autism.

On one hand, he could be right. A lot of children are probably misdiagnosed for one reason or another. But, I still don’t think he should have made the statement. It only served to make him look ignorant.

I agree with Denis Leary. More and more, the younger generation of parents want a diagnosis for their childrens behaviors instead of using proper discipline and guidance. The children of today are becoming more and more a generation of lazy, disrespectful brats lacking of morals and values; and the blame lies with the parents.

Biologically, I have six children. My fifth born has autism. I knew early on he had autism, because he just would not bond to me while nursing. Yes, I was an inattentive mother, as I only sacrificed to nurse each of my children for the first 2-3 years of their lives. LOL!
My children are all disciplined and get a lot of attention. Every one of them are so different from each other. I have no doubt my fifth born has autism, but he has made HUGE strides forward, so that a child who was once non-verbal and in constant meltdowns, now speaks and rarely even tries to go into a meltdown. That is from our family’s dedication to using a modified applied behavior analysis and nutrition with him among many other things.
I do think that we are labeling too many children today with disorders that simply are not getting the kind of parent involvement and discipline they need. But I also know that my son had autism from birth, it was not developed. Mind you he did regress worse at about 15 months (with NO vaccinations…it appears to be an age related regression in autism). I do know we have many children who are born with disorders that need love, support, and understanding. And the parents of those children need help/support not ridicule or blame.
Denis Leary was not funny and has proven he is incapable of speaking with diplomacy any view he may believe. He took a view that has an element of truth and twisted it to an extreme…to make it completely false.
By the way Denis, it becomes apparent that you have never spent time around an autistic child. My son is full of energy, accomplishes much (not lazy) and he is very intelligent (not stupid), he just communicates it differently than we abnormal people do!

You both are right. It is the new definition of Autism that is giving raise to so many being diagnosed. Many truly have problems and some …… well want the tittle to misuse.
I see both sides.
My sister has diagnosed me with autism, but I do not want that tittle. I am functional. I except myself as I am and am happy, and content. The circle that includes me is too big and needs to be broken up into more meaningful sections, types, and needs.

Our family has a family member, a little boy, that is autistic. He is a wonderful little boy- bright, intelligent, and funny, and we all love and appreciate him very much. I think that we as Americans, need to stop the hate that is coming out of our mouths. It is Ok to have disagreements, it is not Ok to spread hatred. We need to get back to “Love Thy Neighbor” instead of saying the most shocking and hateful things to get noticed or attention or to make a point. Thanks for the give-a-way.

Ignorance is shameful.

Your opinions towards a complex and difficult condition are totally ignorant. You know this because you know nothing about autism.
You are the stupid one with immense problems. I suggest you put yourself in the shoes of a child whom has been diagnosed with autism then think about what you have said.

I have noticed that many, many comedians poke fun at people who have some type of challenge in life. It is disturbing to me because there are so many other things they can focus on that are not hurtful to people. I joke about the way I can trip on my own two feet, but not when someone else does the same thing! It is unfortunate we have to be hard as a rock these days because there are so many people out there that can try and make you feel bad about yourself in order for them feel better about themselves! But, on a positive note - Did I mention that I love surprises! Giveaways are fun and the surprise aspect allows you to dream and wonder with anticipation.
