The caustic comic’s controversial new book, “Why We Suck,” authored by “Dr. Denis Leary,” isn’t due out until Nov. 18. But observations such as, “There is a huge boom in autism right now because inattentive mothers and competitive dads want an explanation for why their dumb-(expletive) kids can’t compete academically,” have infuriated parents of autistic children across the country.

Who is this guy? "inattentive mothers and competitive dads" -- how awful .. and it angers me .. I am the grandmother of a child with autism and the aunt of a child with autism. I am ready to take him on

I'd like to handcuff Denis Leary to my autistic daughter for a few hours. He wouldn't last 10 minutes and he'd be offering me any amount of money for the key. Maybe I could use the money to pay for all the therapies and treatments my insurance won't cover for my daughter's "imaginary" disorder.
