BRADY BUNCH star Susan Olsen is agonizing over placing her autistic son in a home for the developmentally disabled, sources say.
Her only child, 16-year-old Michael, suffers from Asperger’s syndrome and has become violent and combative.
“He’s having a lot of problems,” Susan, who played pigtailed moppet Cindy Brady on the popular sitcom, told a reporter recently.
“He’s a really nice kid. He just has anger control issues. In fact, we’re looking into residential care for him because he’s violent. I’ve avoided it for years because I couldn’t bear the thought of living without him. But I realize that’s just plain selfish.”
