He already said his 99% was overstated.

There is collosal fraud in Workplace Disability, far more outrageous than with reference to autism, especially monetarily speaking, with horrendous effects to our economy.

Would people just sit back and say, oh well, if he said 99.9 % of people on Disability were faking it? I would bet not

There is demagoguery and then there is demagoguery. I think the reason so many people here are willing to overlook this jerk is because conservatives are so often ignored by the MSM. But thats no excuse for this level of sloppy talk.

By treating the entire “autism spectrum” as this disease, the med-ed complex builds its grant money and fortunes. Are 99.9% fakers? No. Are there professional autism diagnosers who are helped financially by expanding the range of what we call autism into odd but benign behaviors often seen in growing children but correctible by PERSISTENT and proper parenting? Yes. Given that I know no profoundly autistic people but four “diagnosed” with Agsperger’s, who function quite nicely when they are not coddled, I have to believe the evidence of my eyes that the range of what we currently call autism needs to be shrunk considerably. This would injure the medical establishment and give teachers one less excuse for failure to teach. If Savage does not go over the top, are we even having this discussion?
