Apparently Autism is fake to this guy!

The worrying thing is that I think he truly believes this. There are plenty of other people who think it too and hearing it coming from someone in the media might make them feel justified. If all I had to do was tell my daughter off, then she would have become NT long ago. He's just amazing to have come up with such a simple solution. Thankfully, I've never heard of him before and don't wish to hear him again.

Think of it like this, say 1% of the population are idiots then that 1% will exalt him and profess that he is indeed right. Fox news and other idiots pick up his foolery, they play with words as though they are playing devils advocate (lets not forget Rush Limbaugh calling Michael J Fox a faker) and you have the recipe for controversy. Idiots will then begin to question autism or its severity and now we have a greater number of non idiots doubting it because they aren't well informed but they are listening to what the idiots say and understand that idiots are all around us. They are parents, friends and even family members; most of all, some people are idiots and don't even know they are idiots, truth be told I feel far more sympathetic for idiots because while a person with autism can understand that have autism and the things they can do to treat it, sadly most idiots cannot recognize they are idiots and will likely never change. True story!! !!

Michael Savage's name sounds familiar. What did he do besides becoming a famous hater. Anyway, people like this will begin to dwindle away as autism becomes more studied and well known. A lot of mental disorders were once thought to be nothing but a guy who is purposefully acting weird or were caused by demons and society has advanced to classify them as actual maladies. Although, I do believe that some things are caused by demons. Not autism, I know I am not possessed.

I've dealt with this ignorance my whole life. It's just like my fussy eating habits. I'm sure my parents heard a thousand times from ignorant fools "if you stop pandering to him, he will learn to eat like everyone else". Well, they literally tried everything until they realized I would literally starve myself to death rather than eat 80% of the foods out there they are that unpleasant. I become almost pencil thin because no matter how hungry I was, if I couldn't eat it, I wouldn't eat it period!

One of my former bullies (who is now a changed man and a co-worker) was jumped a few years back by a large gang of black males just because he was the first white male they saw. I had to resist saying 'well, karma's a b**** ain't it?'Not so fun being on the receiving end of a mob attack that's for sure

There are not enough expletives, slurs, or brute force in this world to change his beliefs, what gives him the right to impose himself over others?

This is how I was treated by NTs and thought they were right when I was a child, as I grew up I found that you cannot explain complex things to anti-reletivists and have them understand it from another perspective. Understanding things like Autism is crucial to not go around the world with the anger this man has. It's a shame for certain.

I for one do NOT wish any harm on Salvage. While I thouht what he spewed was vile I think it is way past time to let it go, especially since he did apolgise and clarified what he was trying to say.

He apologized? How long ago did he say this?

I'm not surprised that there are people who think like this.

I'm only surprised that he gets paid for expressing his opinion, and that people listen to him.

Meanwhile, whatever haters that listened to his bs the first time have taken that to heart and have developed their own judgements based on the lies and opinions of his broadcast.

I guarentee if he did apologize, it wasn't by his own will, he was likely facing either termination or court time for slander, or he realized that his opinions aren't popular belief and started losing money, so to save money, instead, gives an apology and twists his original words to make it seem as though he meant something opposite than he actually said. ™ of a liar ("trademark of a liar" for those who either can't see the tm or didn't know what that was).

Anyway, if it were just one time, one thing that Savage has ignorantly and maliciously commented on, maybe that one apology would count. However, it's not. He holds forth on numerous topics in exactly the same manner. One apology is meaningless.

I don't wish for anything bad to happen to him (but as I said earlier, being Michael Savage is punishment enough), but he's made a career out of saying terrible things - that is, trolling.

Ironically, acting on that advice is pretty much the worst thing a father could do for his autist child.

Rush Limbaugh & his ilk. This is just another one in the same mold. It is a shame that there will always be this type of loud-mouth who mistakes personal opinion for FACTS, but there you have it...
Another reason to ignore Talk Radio.

He apologized? How long ago did he say this?[quote]
This is something like 4 years old

That's very big of you. Personally, if someone slaughtered him like the pig he is I would sleep with a smile. If that piece of s**t apologized to everyone he s**t on for a dollar he would die of old age before he was finished. Hell I might even attend his funeral to spit on his corpse

Seriously? Why make a big deal over it now? It's old news.
