Forget Modern Science, parenting experts, educators, doctors and anyone of their esteemed ilk...
Apparently, actors are the new unequivocal authority on the following:
- Autism
- Childrearing
- Education
- Nutrition
- Psychology
- Medicine
At least, that's what Denis Leary would have us believe (check out this link on the Huffington Post). That is, if we were the complete boobs he thinks we are. Um, yeah. Here's an excerpt from his new book, which I hesitate to even give any "free press" here on my blog, but I'm so outraged by it that I can't even see straight...and I quote:
"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."
I can't think of anything more inflammatory or insensitive than this moronic comment. What letters does Denis sport behind his name? Denis Leary, PhD? Denis Leary, MD? No, I think it's more like Denis Leary, MIR (Moron in Residence). Don't even get me started on all of the true facts about autism...
What a freaking idiot...
Enough said.
