Earlier this week, Oprah had actresses Jenny McCarthy and Holly Robinson Peete on her show to discuss the impact of their son’s diagnosis of autism in their lives. This is not the first time Oprah has had a show on autism, but it is the first where celebrities have come on and thrown off the perception of a perfect life to let us know that what happened to them could happen to anyone. I admire both women for being so honest and so determined to give their sons the best life that they could possibly give. Part of that determination was accepting what their child had, but refusing to let their sons slip away into that strange world where they would become almost unreachable.
