I want to get rid of this guy for what he said about autism. I have two cousin's who have autism and know several other children who have autism as well. His comments were rude and uncalled for. Here is what he said: Now you want me to tell you my opinion on autism since I'm not talking about autism A fraud. A racket. You know what autism is I'll tell you what autism is in 99% of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. During his nationally syndicated radio show Savage went on to offer his take on some of autism symptoms. What do you mean they scream and they're silent They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron; you'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a ****. Straighten up; act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.' Michael Savage told The New York Times that he won't apologize and that he thinks autism is an over diagnosed medical condition
