Dennis Leary explains why autustic kids are dumbasses in disguise
Dennis Leary has a new book, “Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid.” If you’re not some type of fanatic, you’re probably reluctant to pick up a copy unless it contains a bunch of inflammatory statements. Hey, guess what? Get those wallets out.
“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.”
The Austism Society of America had something to say about that:
“For Mr. Leary to suggest that families or doctors conspire to falsely diagnose autism is ridiculous . . . [His] remarks reflect the same misconceptions of autism being caused by bad or unemotional parenting that were held over 50 years ago.”
I have to side with Dennis Leary on this one. It’s a lot like how paralyzed people shouldn’t be in wheelchairs. They can walk, they’re just not trying hard enough to fuse that spinal cord back together. And don’t get me started on the mentally handicapped. They’re not really retarded, they were just born to suck at life.
Once Jenny McCarthy calms down, expect a polite response.

Everyone has there own opinion on autism. Everyone has there own theory. But how can you expect to know what’s going on when you’ve never experienced autism first hand? Or even second hand? It all comes down to your own insecurities. You know what is beautiful about autism? An autistic person wouldn’t be hurt by all of your opinions. They know what life is about and it’s not about what you people think. That makes them the bigger person, not you.
inbreeding? wow. i had no idea how feeble minded our country truly is. let me guess, you voted for john mccain right?
I gotta agree somewhat with Leary on this.
I think there a people who genuinely have autism, but I feel in alot of cases it’s simply a way of the parents explaining why their kid isn’t smart, or isn’t doing their work like they should. It’s an excuse for a lack of discipline or just having a slightly strange kid. Like I said, I think kids do genuinely have it, but not in the numbers people seem to have it today. It’s always, ‘mild autism’ and I say BULLSHIT.
It’s like the new ADD, yes there are people with ADD, but much of the time it’s just an excuse for bad parenting and the kids doing what-ever-the-fuck he wants.
1. There is a diagnostic criteria for autism and add, so I don’t think parents just claim their kids have it. they actually do ahve it.
2. There is a large genetic compenent for autism, so it’s not due to bad parenting.
Ben You’re talking absolute rubbish sir. Have you any idea at all what the process is for diagnosing conditions such as ADD/ADHD/Autistic Spectrum Conditions? I fear not otherwise you wouldn’t be making such a ridiculous statement! I suggest you do a little research and perhaps talk to a Psychiatrist who will enlighten you as to what the procedure is for diagnosis. Your language leaves a lot to be desired also… perhaps your parents didn’t do quite such a good job with you?
mild autism is BULLSHIT huh? Why don’t you say that to my 5 year old daughter’s face? How about we set you up in a room with 5 autistic children and then try and tell me it’s bullshit!!
all he is saying is that autism is just a way of getting out of everyone calling your kid dumb and the hard times that go along with it. it makes perfect sense because jenny mccarthy claims her kid is jesus christ because he ‘beat’ autism like her weak genes are better than everyone else’s. if you label your kid autistic then its for life. some people just don’t want to admit to the long term effects of inbreeding but thats what it is.
Leary proves yet again what an asshole he is, kidding or not.
Bad enough he stole Bill Hicks’s act and made a fortune off it after Hicks died, leading to:
Q. Why is Denis Leary alive and Bill Hicks dead?
A. Because there’s no cure for cancer.
Leary has a whole lot of bad karma coming his way and this just adds to it.
