I would expect Savage to make the comment in relation to ADD because many times it is just an excuse for a hyperactive child. But not Autism.
I have a nephew who is Autistic. The child wants so badly to be like everyone else, but is trapped in his own world of attraction and distraction. His parents have become very strong people because of the challenges the son brings every minute of every day.

I never heard Savage say this alleged statement.

The only problem is there is an AUDIO of Michael Savage.

Here's the link to it :

http://mediamatters.org/items/200807170005?f=h_top

Here are excerpts from the audio :

"Why was there an asthma epidemic amongst minority children? Because I'll tell you why: The children got extra welfare if they were disabled, and they got extra help in school. It was a money racket. Everyone went in and was told [fake cough], "When the nurse looks at you, you go [fake cough], "I don't know, the dust got me." "See, everyone had asthma from the minority community."

"[a] fraud, a racket. ... I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. 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 putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.' "
