I have a child with special needs. Clearly. But don't ever, ever, tell me that I want a child with special needs because it provides a label for his stupidity.
Denis Leary's new book, Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Lazy, and Stupid will hit the shelves November 8. In this book, Leary writes "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 s--- what these crackerjack whack jobs tell you—yer kid is not autistic. He's just stupid. Or lazy. Or both."
Denis Leary, you are the one who is clearly stupid, not the parent's of children with autism or special needs, and certainly not the children with those needs.
You just don't get it, do you? My child is not special. I treat him just as I would any other child. He gets in trouble for hitting. He must take accountability for his actions. He must learn to read and write so that he can TRY to be a member of society.
But, when it comes to comprehension and behavior he does have issues. The good thing is that we get him help for that. He takes the appropriate medication. He is in the appropriate school setting for emotional and behavior problems.
Does that mean I am inattentive to my child? Absolutely not.
Does that mean I want an explanation for why he can't find a toy in the toy box? Yes, because I want to help him.
Sure, Leary...there are parents out there looking for labels for some children. But don't you have to be attentive to notice there is a problem in the first place?
Leary...You failed this one.
