Denis Leary has defended his book’s section Autism Schmautism by saying that the press has taken it out of context:

“…If they have (read the book), they missed the sections I thought made my feelings about autism very clear: that I not only support the current rational approaches to the diagnoses and treatment of real autism but have witnessed it firsthand while watching very dear old friends raise a functioning autistic child.”

Maybe Jenny McCarthy won’t kick his ass afterall??
