Lyle Menendez 'helped change' Rosie O'Donnell's autistic child's life

Rosie O'Donnell befriended Lyle Menendez three years ago

Rosie O’Donnell says convicted murderer Lyle Menendez helped change her autistic child's life.

The 63-year-old comedian felt like she "was kicked in the stomach" when 12-year-old Clay - who adopted a gender-neutral name after coming out as non-binary - was diagnosed with autism in 2010 but she was encouraged to get a service dog by Menendez, who along is serving a life sentence without parole for murdering his parents Jose and Kitty in 1989.
