"Indigo" child indeed. A little late to this thread, but Jenny also rarely mentions that her son was oxygen deprived at birth and suffered from brain damaged. “Indigo” child indeed.

Yet his seizures started when he was well over two years old, a full year after he had the vaccine in question. I believe she does not do any epilepsy advocacy because she is in denial. First the child was an Indigo or Crystal kid, now he is autistic. Unfortunately, the reality is that many seizures occur for no known reason. My son's seizures occured when he was just a couple of days old. Even with a CAT-scan, several EEGs, and being looked at by a couple neurologists, no reason was ever found for his seizures. There was a reason when he became ill as a toddler with a now vaccine preventable disease. To pile on the Jenny McCarthy seizure story: she blames the seizures on the MMR vaccine.

Has anyone else noticed she NEVER talks about his seizures, though they are the PRIMARY problem? Why then is she obsessed with talking about autism and NOT epilepsy? Well, it's not difficult folks...it's because she saw her moment of opportunity to make a big name for herself by infiltrating the autism community....even though her son isn't truly autistic.....she has since taken all the stories of other mums with autistic children and speaks as if she's with them.....though she only had a two year experience with seizures that somehow became autism....I think it's really interesting that she never speaks about epilepsy nor advocates for epilepsy education,but is hyperfocused on stories about autism healing....hmmmmmmm must be a better platform for her to push her ester hicks laws of attraction and power of now thinking and belief system...
