Radio host angers parents of autistic children

all thailand is crazy.

No one took his comments out of context. Listening to him, he made it very clear of how he felt. He is now trying to save face. Just listen to his comments and you make your decision. I live in Delaware with an excellent Autistic School, Brennan. My grandson has Aspergers, he is one of the more fortunate ones and very intelligent. These children/adults need to be shown more respect, than having some radio announcer playing doctor and giving his diagnosis. Where is his medical degree. I know for a fact that there are some Austistic children/adults highly intelligent, even the ones who cannot speak. and apparently more so than Savage. They wouldn't be so cruel. Don't you think these parents, have tried all avenues in having a true diagnosis. He needs to get himself more educated. Read Atwood's book or if he can handle it Stillman's book on Autism and the God Connection. But then again he would have some controversary about that. I believe and praise all the parents who have the special angels God has given them. The angels are here to teach us love and compassionate. But there will always be someone you just can't get through to. Bless these angels and their parents.

his real last name is WEINER. he's the kind of loudmouth drunk you'd encounter in any bar. he talks thru his weiner.

i bet he isnt married.

Wow! What a disgusting comment, what did he think he was "awakening." Austic children are not over diagnosed!

Maybe ADD, but not autism.

This man has his mind set on putting blame...rather than encouraging families of autistic children to unite.Large amounts of info on autism has been achieved this way...

peace..

My brother has autism and i couldn't have been more blessed in my life!! He is such an inspiration and i wouldn't trade him for the world!

Shame on Michael Savage.

He sure has a LOT of hot air to get out....too bad he isn't informed re his topic of discussion.

Best to ignore his comments - you KNOW he hasn't a clue.

It's possible that is what he meant to refer to, but it's doubtful because Savage has always been a jerk. His backpedaling is lame at best' to say his words were taken out of context is laughable. He should tell the dam truth the he is guilty of extreme exageration. I believe if he had used ADD as an example he may have been closer to being correct but he would still be guilty of exagerating. But then there would be no controversy and most people would be saying, "Michael who?".

This guy is a "poor man's" Bill O'Reilly who will say outrageous things for the attention and gets away with it because his core audience is just as heartless as he is.

Savage may very well have meant ADD, maybe that's because he suffers from ADD himself

Yet again the AM-radio right is exposed for the hate-driven paranoia that it is. These people pander to the low-achieving white males who actually listen to obsolete technology in the middle of a normal workday instead of, well, owkring and making something more useful of their lives. With their pre-packaged stable of supposed communists, welfare-dependent mothers, and other familiar boogeymen, hosts like MS keep their prey tned in by making them feel morally superior even as they engage in the most inflammatory, ignorant comments they feel they can get away with on the air.

The reasonable majority of us have better priorities and know our success is our own to achieve.

You just made the same ignorant, biased, and "exaggerated" claim to the millions of listeners of MS that you accuse MS of. Be careful of throwing rocks in glass houses my mentally ill Liberal friend.

Michael set the stage up.Now you people are falling for it.His plan was to get america talking so it basically premotes his show for FREE.. KEEP TALKING

MS has always been a stupid loser, and the "conservative" wing of radio programs of his is nothing more than jingoistic race-baiting.

But most Americans that are stupid enough to listen to his show are bottom feeders who never accomplish much anyway.

Shame on you! Just like he should not be making such comments regarding Autistic children, you shouldn't be doing it in reference to ADHD kids. It's the same thing. I sometimes deal with more issues with my son than many of the parents of Autistic children that I know. Too many people have the misconception that ADHD is just a matter of not being able to sit still and focus. I would give anything if that was all it was. Nobody should make negative remarks about someone else's challenges without lowering one's self to the same level as this man.

I'm sorry, maybe I wrote that wrong.

I was saying maybe ADD is miss-diagnosed, I wasn't saying that's what the host meant.:)

I wasn't. No need to say "shame on me."
First off, I voulunteer at the special olymipcs, I teach art classes to diasabled children and help my mother in-law at her school- she is a special ed teacher.

How about you try not lowering yourself until you know someons situation...

ADHD is not a mental disorder, they don;t take "special needs" classes, not even comparable to autism, so back off.

Pot, meet kettle!

YEAH! And quadriplegics are lazy. Who are you going to believe? Some sissy doctors from the World Health Organization, the Mental Health Commission, the Autism Society of America, the families who deal with autism every day, and anybody who's ever met someone with autism, or a syndicated radio shock jock ? I'm going with the untrained shock jock. He seems to know what he's talking about.

listen to savage for 5 minuntes and youll hear a guy who only has one topic he likes to talk about-----himself.

the sad thing about these radio big mouths ,like savage and limbaugh is that no matter how silly or stupid their comments are,the lemmings who listen to them daily will believe it.

so the minute savage issued this moronic statement idiots all across the country said "I'll be damn,I always knew these autistic kids were just faking and needed their asses whipped".

Autism is genetic. Deal.

Limbaugh, Savage, Mike Regan, the list continues. Is there a particular reason why the scum of the planet is represented so consistently by right-wingers?

Does conservatism actually require one to be a sack of garbage, or is it merely an option for most?
