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.

In 2009, Savage was placed on a list of people permanently banned from entering the United Kingdom by British Home Secretary for "seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred.So I'd say the people that have heard of him and evaluate his position, generally don't like him unless they are racist.

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.
