Katie Hopkins Reveals She Has An Autistic Daughter- Just Two Months After Insulting Honey, 9
Katie Hopkins has revealed she has an autistic daughter – two months after she branded a nine-year-old autistic girl a “t***”.
The motormouth – who has three kids, Maximillian, Poppy and India – insists she considers the mental condition to be a “gift” and is an “awesome thing” to have.
When asked by The Guardian if she herself lies on the autism spectrum, she replied: “One of my daughters is diagnosed as being on the spectrum
“It’s an awesome thing, to live with a child who can memorise a times table in two minutes. They don’t get things emotionally.”
Katie was blasted by the National Autistic Society and Twitter users after she described nine-year-old Honey, who was diagnosed with mild autism, as a “t***” while she was tweeting during Channel 4’s show, Born Naughty?, in May.
She wrote at the time: “Honey can’t complete the autism assessment as she is too busy being a complete t***. But the s*** mum assessment is complete #bornnaughty”
She even slammed Honey’s parents, writing: “Honey’s mum is thrilled her daughter has pathological demand avoidance. Now a whole world of funding has opened up to her #bornnaughty”
In response to her comments, the charity even invited her to meet some of their members to “understand autism”.
They said: “If Katie wants to really understand autism, we would like to invite her to come to meet some members of the National Autistic Society and hear about the challenges they face every day.”
But Katie has now insisted she didn’t want to tell them that she had an autistic daughter because they would assume she “gets it”.
The former Apprentice star added: “I often think I don’t see the world on the same plane as everyone else, either. I feel like I’m 90 per cent off, and that’s OK.”
Mirror Celeb has contacted Katie Hopkins for comment.

something isn’t right here Katie Hopkins seems to change her story often, she seem nothing more than a attention seeker to me.

I think she makes it up as she goes along, what else can you say about someone with a child named India, who belittled others who gave their child a geographical name? She makes things up to shock, or pacify, as the mood takes her, or, she is just stupid!

Aka “Katie Hopkins reveals she will say anything to get in the press.” It was only a couple months ago that Hopkins claimed she herself was autistic. It’s bad enough Hopkins thieves actual oxygen. Please stop giving her the oxygen of publicity too.

I don’t believe that Katie Hopkins has an Autistic child, but even if she does, she’s simply pulling the Autism Card to excuse her bad behaviour. What’s worse is that she herself isn’t Autistic, she’s too stupid and nasty to be. I’m Autistic, and I never use the fact as an excuse, only to state the fact that I have issues with some things and often need an explanation of what I did wrong and/or how I hurt someone.
