Jenny McCartney’s 4 year old son has autism.

Actress/model Jenny McCarthey has opened up about her four-year old son Evan’s autism after revealing she’s planning to release a new book all about dealing with the developmental disability.

The former Playboy pin-up has revealed her son is “hypersensitive to air and water” on her website IndigoMoms.com and she’s determined to help educate parents and teachers about autism. She says, “I want our children to start each day in silent meditation. I want organic cafeterias, outdoor class sessions… I want it all.”

McCarthy, 34, will reveal all about her own struggles with her son’s autism in new book Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey In Healing Autism. She tells In Touch magazine, “It’s a heartbreaking story about a serious health issue.”

Re: Jenny McCartney’s 4 year old son has autism.

I've often wondered about that since she's been so involved in the cause for a few years now.

I have an autistic cousin. It's just awful how little they know about it. Chat Icon

Not that I wish this on anyone's child, but I'm glad for the exposure that a celebrity will bring to the cause.

Chat Icon to Jenny for sharing her story and educating the public about this disorder. What a cute little boy he is!

By the way, I believe that rate of 1 in 150 is for all autistic spectrum/pervasive developmental disorders, not just autism. It is an alarmingly high rate regardless.

I think its coming from all the chemicals we have been exposed to in foods and other products.

I belive that there is a genetic link or predisposition to it but the gene has not yet been identified. There may also be environmental factors that lead to the weakness. There have been studies that show correlations between Autism and mercury.
