Jenny McCarthy wants to ‘give hope’ with new book
While serving as co-host of The View Thursday, Jenny McCarthy said she wanted to "acknowledge and confirm" that her son Evan Joseph Asher is, indeed, autistic. The actress made the announcement in the context of discussing her upcoming book Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey In Healing Autism, a work which she hopes will inspire and challenge the parents of of autistic children.
I know why God gave me a child with autism — because I’m willing to talkabout it and go really deep with the emotional feelings and a littlebit of the controversy that’s involved in term of what the governmentthinks. And I plan on talking about everything. I can’t wait!
Evan, who turns 5-years-old on May 18, has "come a long way" according to his mother.
I just want moms who have children out there with autism to know that I am coming back in a few months with this book, and I am planning on using my big, controversial mouth to blow the lid off a lot of things related to autism to give moms hope. It is so needed.
Louder Than Words is scheduled for a Sept. 6 release.

I saw you on Oprah and was so excited as my niece has a grandson that is Austic. She wants your book. I am sending her the name and hopefully it will bring Hope to their family. Thanks,
