Denis Leary is an ass hole...but not that big of an ass hole

I think his book was meant to be taken as offensive, but it was his remarks about autism that really offended groups. And obviously people are going to be offended when he calls their kids- "... just stupid. Or lazy. Or both.”
I just watched him on The Daily Show, where he defended what he said, and he came off less douche baggey than I thought he would (yes, douche baggey is a word, as of just now).

And I can understand where he's coming from, when it comes to autism. My two younger brothers are autistic, and while I get riled up when people say there is no such thing as autism, I get even more pissed off when people self-diagnose themselves as having autism, or a form of autism such as Asperger's. Also, Asperger's always sounds like Ass Burgers, like the people who diagnose themselves after reading about Asperger's on an internet forum.

He probably just said this to get publicity for his book, but I have met many people, one case in particular that made my blood boil. A woman who used to work at my brother's primary school, the primary school that I attended as well, which was very small, and hired this woman to work as my brother's aide instead of someone who is actually trained. After she met my brother, and worked with him, she began to say her 12 year old daughter, who was at a nice, private school, was autistic, despite her never showing a sign before her mum met my brother. This woman took her daughter to many, many doctors and psychologists, before finally meeting a medical professional who diagnosed her with autism.

Then, this woman began to collect payments for her daughter, such as disability pensions, which my own mother wasn't eligible for, despite having two disabled children. She also collected single parent payments, although she wasn't seperated from her husband yet, and didn't seem to be short of money, as she had 4 kids in private school, and an enormous house and 3 cars. Somehow, she was able to manipulate the government into paying for her tummy tuck, and 2 boobs jobs (she had them reduced, and then made bigger again).

I have to keep away from her, because she disgusts me. No matter what is said to the government, she continues to get away with exploiting the system.
She was almost found out, a few years ago, when two psychologists who had used to work with my brothers, tried to re-evaluate her daughter, and she tried to get them fired.

Autism can be heart breaking for many families, but those who claim to "cure" it (cough cough, Jenny McCarthy), and those who diagnose themselves, can eat my poo. You are stupid or lazy, but you're probably a combination of both.


I do agree with Denis Leary, but fuck him. I'm sick of actors like Tom Cruise who pretend to know shit about medicine, or psychology. Some morons will actually believe you, so shut up.
