Jenny McCarthy has revealed that her 12-year-old son Evan got bullied at a summer camp but because of his autism he did not realise this.
'The View' star has been left wondering whether to tell the truth to her son or let him be, reported People magazine.
"My son's main goal is to make as many friends as possible. They're laughing at him but he laughs too. I said, 'You have to find the kids that like you and are nice to you. Who do you sit next to in the cafeteria?' And he said, 'No one. I ask, and they say no.' "
In some ways, McCarthy is relieved Evan is unaware he's being ostracized.
"It's so wonderful that he's not aware that kids are making fun of him. But at what point do I need to teach him that?. Evan told me, 'They ask me to put bugs down my pants and I do it and they laugh.' He thinks it's funny. Do I just let him be? At what point does it stop? In high school they'll be like, 'Here drink this?' 'Okay!'," McCarthy said.
