I've never listened to the guy, but seeing autistic children, and having a younger brother who is autistic, I say that he's full of sh!t. It's a mental condition caused by something, and no one has figured out a cure for yet. There are various levels of autism, and some cases can be improved with the right kind of treatments, which I won't go into here, but let me say that Mr. Savage is acting like an uneducated savage here.

"Please excuse me while I parade my catastrophic ignorance of neuroscience."

A society of no thoughtful intelligence, is instead an unforgiving hierarchy structured on blatant ignorance. or whatever.

Yeah, not at all sure who he is.

A big sign that M.S. doesn't "get it" is his name calling.

Telling a person to "act like a man" is on par with "get a life" and/or "use common sense"...all derogatory remarks from rude people that don't get it.

Calling him/her an "idiot" is not only low, mean, and ignorant - but we who have run debate groups know that it's a sign that the person using "name calling" not only has nothing - They're a sore loser.

And while a small minority of children do need more structured discipline...to say that "in 99% of cases they are "brats" - is another "name call" that tells us more about Mr. Savage.

They who name call know they have no data on their side/in their defense - so instead of bowing to the facts they stoop lower and "name call".

Let me attach three "Debate pyramid" images. Good guides for dealing with people like this;

And here's Mr. Savage's bio. Wow...

Another right wing asshole peddling elitist bullshit

What's really sad that there are more small minded people like that in the world. Most likely they will never open their mind to the reality of this planet.

Strange ideas come from strange minds.

sigh…I got no time for that.

I had not heard of him until this posting. This is what right wing radio hosts do. Trying to out shock the other hosts to get numbers up.
Look at Tucker, he has passed Hannity for crazy shit and people don't mention Hannity much lately. The wilder the bullshit, the more the stupid buy into it.

Conservative alpha males like Michael Savage and Donald Trump are so cool about harassing people with disabilities while being a bunch of Karen's with dicks when their privilege comes into question and utter toadies when in the presence of what they consider a more manly man then themselves.
Yes it applies to Trump, what you didn't see him tuck his tail between his legs and pee himself a little when Putin was around?
Conservative anti-feminist men, which includes their women, are the weakest creatures on the planet Earth.

Just your basic shock jock attention whore, 15 minutes of fame was way more than he warranted.

Michael Savage is an idiot.

I'm an American and this is the first I've heard of Michael Savage or any opinion attributed to him. If he did say this, he's an uninformed putz spreading dangerous misinformation. He reminds me of the dolts who think mental illness can be cured by spending more time outside.
