Okay, all I can figure out is that talk radio host Michael Savage is either the most ignorant person on the planet or he has just done a really, really stupid publicity stunt.
Who in their right mind would say that Autism is a fraud and that kids with Autism are brats and idiots???
Shame on Talk Radio Network for not firing him yet....

Remember the Don Imus controversy? Unfortunately, he's back on the air. Just as unfortunately is the fact that our Constitutional right to freedom of speech can be taken to such idiotic extremes by journalists.
Imus was fired, then reinstated. I'm afraid his case set the precedence and Savage may very well suffer a similar slap on the wrist for his ignorance.
"What a country!" as the comedian, Yakov Smirnoff, used to say in his routines.

Should he be fired for these comments?

As someone who IS autistic, I'd like him to kiss my bratty 4$$! If he can't understand that neurological variations are real, maybe he's the moron here!

You know, Todd, I didn't even think of that. I guess I just assume that everyone on the planet knows what Autism is.
I wonder ... does anyone else think maybe that could be the case? That he just simply needs to be educated??

I agree Kristin!
I can't imagine why anyone would say something this foolish.
While reading the only thing that made sense was he didn't know what autism was.
Can that be?
Is it possible he doesn't know?
I find that very hard to believe. So what was he doing? Any thoughts?
