Living With Autism + The People’s Study – Jenny McCarthy
April is Autism Awareness Month.
As of 2020, 1 in 36 American kids have this neurological condition–in Canada, approximately 1 in 50. Rates have gone up over 300% in the last 20 years.
Is it as simple as a change in diagnostic criteria, or is something far bigger at play? Two parents of adults with autism, Dr. Brian Hooker and Polly Tommey, host this “Good Morning CHD” episode. They discuss what life has looked like for their families over the decades, their thoughts on the current state of developmental disorders in children and the future of autism around the globe.
And then… While shopping for groceries, Jenny McCarthy stumbled upon a magazine article on vaccination that gave her an unsettling feeling. When it came time for her son to be immunized, Jenny did not want to go through with it, but the doctor assured her it would be just fine. That’s when the worried mother’s worst fears came true, and Jenny knew it was her duty to speak out and share her story. And that is exactly what she did, in this “Vaxxed” interview.
