Actress/model Jenny McCarthy instinctively knows when her autistic son is suffering a seizure - even if she's in another state.

The former Playboy pin-up insists mothers have a magical connection to their children, which alerts them to health crises and allows them to act on instinct.

And when McCarthy's young son Evan started suffering seizures, the blonde just knew something was wrong even if she was working hundreds of miles away from him.

She says, "Women are really born with this wonderful instinct to know when something is wrong with your child.

"When I was working in Las Vegas I was actually doing a scene when I stopped production and I started shaking and my sister said, 'What's wrong?' and I said, 'I think Evan is having a seizure.'

"I picked up the phone and my husband at the time said, 'I just called 911; Evan's having a seizure right now.'

"Then it happened again when I was in Canada... and I called and they were in an ambulance."

But McCarthy insists she's not exceptional - just a mum who is in tune with her son: "Mothers, please tune in to your child's health, that wonderful thing that we have because it's very, very real."
