Since Denis Leary’s negative comments about autism in his new book, we’ve been waiting to hear from autism activist Jenny McCarthy. Naturally, the outspoken actress had a few choice words, calling Leary “obviously stupid.”

In an interview for Access Hollywood, Jenny McCarthy said, “Whoo! First of all, let me tell you, the autism community has received probably 10,000 emails [saying] ‘Go kill him!’ ‘Go yell at him.’ [But] it’s so hard to even get up enough juice in me or energy in me to even try to fight someone that is obviously stupid.”

In Deni Leary’s book, “Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid,” he says that those diagnosed with autism are, “… stupid. Or lazy. Or both.”

Leary, naturally, issued a statement that the negative autism comments were taken out of context:

“I thought I 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.

The bulk of the chapter deals with grown men who are either self-diagnosing themselves with low-level offshoots of the disease or wishing they could as a way to explain their failed careers and troublesome progeny.”

Jenny McCarthy hasn’t read Leary’s book, but commented:

“These poor moms are just going through so much hell and I don’t think Denis is quite educated in the area just like that other DJ,” she said. “I wish these people would come sit down and talk to some families before they make comments because we are already suffering so badly… We don’t need anymore [comments like that]. We’re already in so much pain.”
