M. Savage calls Autistic children--BRATS!

He should be fired from his job because his comments toward the autistic children were totally uncalled for.
 
Jeez, that man needs to have his mouth soaped up and his arse kicked to the moon!
 
*shake my head disgusitly* He is the one who need a help how to respect himself instead of uneducation and ignorant. !
 
Ooooh, I am not liking this one bit at all! :pissed:

He needs a reality check. Oh, I wish I could make him take my place and he will exactly know how it is to handle a child with autism because it is not an easy task to do, but u know what? That guy is taking everything for granted and he doesn't know what he is missing out. To me, a child with autism are not BRATS, They are difficult, yes but they are SPECIAL too!

So, yeah, I'm very outraged by that comment and it was uncalled for. Not every child is misdiagnosed but at least we are getting the education for it and learning as we go along.
 
This is what happens when we don't educate our children. They grow up ignorant and end up on the radio like this moron Savage!:giggle:

How in the hell can he make a statement reagarding 99% misdiagnosis of autism, and change it to a diagnosis of behavior problems. I'd like to know where he got his medical degree or his doctorate in psychology. He is a freakin' radio announcer. He has no specialized knowledge regarding autism, and is a bigot and a perpetrator is stereotypes.

This kind of behavior makes me so angry, I don't even know what else to say.
 
Firing him isn't really the answer to the problem. He was being pretty ignorant. An education on autism is what he need.

Or, he could do some research on autism to become more understandable and aware of it before he is to speak on the subject.
 
ugh, these things piss me off.

You know why more people are being diagnosed with autism? Because we've expanded our perspectives on what autism can mean, beyond the realm of 'low functioning' classic autism. Now, more girls, thought to be simply 'shy' can get that diagnosis. Now, I know handfuls of adults getting diagnosed in their 40's and 50's, finally getting an answer for why they've always existed somewhat differently than neurotypicals.

It's not as simple as 'oh, doctors overdiagnose autism'- tell that to the parents who fight to get their high functioning child diagnosed and get them receiving educational services. Tell that to the adults who beg for a diagnosis and don't get one 'because it's too late to do anything, anyways.'

I wont even TOUCH on the complete BS that autistic / neurodiverse people are 'brats'- I think it's enough to simply say that pisses the heck out of me.
 
On the other hand Aleser, I do kinda think that while M. Savage's comments were VERY over the top, perhaps he was responding more to the fact that it seems to be the dx dujour. I don't agree that autistic kids are brats........BUT, it does seem like any and everyone who even slightly falls outside the nereotypcial spectrum is dx as autistic.
 
Mr. Savage is definite a savage!
 
Yes I know.....While some ADD style "autistic spectrum" kids may be "brats "(some people think that ADD kids are actually just on the autistic spectrum) , most autistic kids have a legitimate nereodevelopmental disabilty!

You have a point there but I should note here that some people just don't want to be educated. Savage strikes me as someone who doesn't care who get hurt as long as he gets free press.
 
if i ever walked into him somewhere ill make sure his balls are halfway down his throat when im done with the guy. What an ignorant cocksucking piece of dogshit.

Yeah you got a good point. Mike Savage got every chance to be educated to in order to get more knowledge and better understanding about the autism before he would be able to speak on this subject with respect.

He blew it big time.

It is clear to me that he made UNEDUCATED comments about autistic children.
