Dear Holly,

Can I call you Holly? Like I need your permission! Just wanted to clear up a few things after reading your "courageous" story in People. . .puleeeeze, how hard is it to be "courageous" in your position? Chatting with other celebs about damaged kids and damaged plans, blaming autism on the MMR vaccine? Oy, what drek!!!!!

As vomitous as it was to slog through your story, I have to say that one of the most egregious aspects of your "coping with having an autistic child" was your statement about having more children in 0rder to deal with the burden of having him! Thank you would put into print the ludicrous belief that by having MORE kids you would be ensuring a lifetime of care for your autistic child shows a shocking lack of forward thinking and trust in the progress you child can make! To assert that you were not going to burden his twin with his care in his adult life and that you somehow believe that by having MORE children will ease or erase your responsibility to him after your death is jaw dropping! You are an actress, your husband pulls down a lot as a former NFL player, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure your son has care,a place to live, and money. . .not your children, and certainly not social welfare programs. Let the single moms and the working poor use that money for their kids, ok, Holly, old pal? Buddy?

You give autistic moms a REALLY bad name. . .and I for one am not willing to be associated with your X files conspiracy theory for the cause of autism (my son was symptomatic WELL before this immunization). . .what a load of crap you have shoveled into a national magazine. . .gag! I can just imagine the shaking heads, the clucking tongues, and the sighs of "she is so brave. . ." You have nannies, private schools, and affluence. . .some autistic parents have NONE of that- some autistic dads have to work 2 or 3 jobs to support their families, because there is no daycare for their special child. . .but yet, YOU are the brave one. . . ick!

So, Holly, I will have to say that far from brave, I think you are an absolute whiner and a pity party in your honor must surely be held every month to remind us non affluent autistic parents of how brave parents act. . .better go jump on my husband now. . .start the process of making little caregivers for my little angel. . .oy! Whine on Holly!
