Jenny McCarthy Talks About Her Son To Michigan Avenue Magazine: Jenny McCarthy Says Evan Is “The Poster Child For Hope”
From Playboy bunny to comedian to parenting author, Jenny McCarthy’s career has taken some unusual twists and turns. Jenny’s new book, Healing and Preventing Autism, hits stores this month and the 36-year-old mom recently chatted to Michigan Avenue magazine about her 6-year-old son Evan, her relationship with Jim Carrey, and why she’ll never pose for Playboy again.
On handling her son Evan’s autism diagnosis: “I Googled autism and found a community called Generation Rescue, which is a parent-run organization of moms who have been teaching other moms about diet, nutrition, supplements, and detox, and they have done an amazing job of healing their kids. I thought, Well, do I follow this path of moms who are saying their kids got better, or do I follow the path of the medical community who say these kids can’t get better? So I followed these parents and I’m so glad I did, because within a year of doing diet and nutrition with Evan, he lost his autism diagnosis.”
On how Evan is today: “He is the most talkative, social six-year-old little boy, who loves to play with his friends.”
On her deal with God: “I kind of made a deal with God, saying, ‘If you help me and you show me how to heal Evan, I promise I will teach the world how I did it.’ The hard part is everyone from this day on will know Evan’s business. People say, ‘Don’t you get worried that you made him the poster child for autism?’ And I say, “He’s the poster child for hope.’”
