I say KUDOS to them and give them what they are doing is GREAT as they are getting the attention that is needed for the rest of the world to understand Autism.

How can you call them attention whores???
As I said, I also think it's great that they're raising so much awareness and fighting so hard.
But at the same time, she's making a lot of it about her. She's not organizing a march, she's leading a march. It's not a march for Autism, it's "Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey leading a march".

And she's making people believe things that she simply can't know are true. Rather than working with the doctors she's fighting with them because she's making bold statements that she can't back up with any more than "I've talked to other parents who said the same thing."

To repeat myself, "In the end, her taking it too far will be good for awareness in general and in further studies, but it is still her taking it too far."
