Britney Spears comes to town for charity to raise autism awareness

Fresh off her custody deal, Britney Spears showed her charitable side as she continues on the road to recovery.

The one-time pop train wreck showed up over the weekend at a celebrity fund-raiser for Generation Rescue, which increases awareness about autism.

The Los Angeles party was hosted by actor Jim Carrey and former Playboy Playmate Jenny McCarthy, who has an autistic child.

"The difference from the beginning of this year to now is astonishing," Spears' lawyer Laura Wasser said.

Spears, 26, made the appearance less than eight months after an epic meltdown in which she was strapped to a gurney and sent to a psych ward.

For weeks, Spears was barred from seeing her two kids.

Last week she cut a deal with ex-husband Kevin Federline that gives him full custody and grants her three visits a week with the kids.

If all goes well, she could have Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, as much as 40% of the time, Wasser said.
