Autism is a brain disorder that affects everything from social communication to physical coordination.

Being a spastic geek is now a brain disorder?

Do not confuse being a geek with being REALLY autistic. They are VERY DIFFERENT. Learn about the disorder called autism first ( I suggest you start by actually talk to loving parents with autistic children) before making this statement.

To: garbanzo; Chieftain

these are disgusting comments on Freepr. and then to use slang like ‘moron’ and ‘spastic”.

I am sure there are many kids misdiagnosed. but autism is a serious medical condition, along the lines of mental retardation. Obviously, the hysterical Savage and his freeper posters just use hyperbole and nasty words as they do not know that serious autisitc children are a very difficult , sad situation for the parents.

why don’t we just treat these kids like we used to treat mentally retarded children: lock them up in institutions; call them “retards’ and be sure to make fun of them !

Just because ADD is over diagnosed, or some children are not treated approraitely, these posters scream about ALL children with mental problems “just kick them in the ass”.

Savage does not necessarily tell the truth and his “courage” is limited to name calling and tirades while he makes millions and is hailed as a “conservative crusader”. Conservative is not defined as “screaming anything, true or not.” Savage is laughing at conservatives all the way to the bank.
