My son is “genuinely Autistic”, and I am going ballistic.My son is twenty years old, 6’3 1/2” and 324 pounds. He is not on any medication for his Autism, either.I would LOVE for Mr.Savage to meet him.
I don’t know why any of you believe that parents would “fake” their child’s Autism, ( as if you could). You don’t “get money” for having a kid with Autism.
Let me just say, Be Careful!! Life, or G-d sometimes has a funny way of teaching you things. Autism is actually a reality...even if there is no blood test for it. Lots of people have family members with it. It doesn’t know or care what political party you belong to or what nationality you are. You may just find out the very hard way how wrong Michael Savage is.

“My son is “genuinely Autistic”, and I am going ballistic.”

Why are you “going ballistic”? I don’t remember Savage saying that all children diagnosed with autism are faking it....I DO remember him saying that many of the children diagnosed with autism are MISdiagnosed and probably don’t have full blown autism or anything near it.

A big difference in statements there....two different subjects in fact.

A. If you've read through this thread; you'd see that I do have experience with genuinely autistic children and adults. I did not at all refute that autism exists. Nor did I slam parents claiming their child is autistic, or along the autistic spectrum.

B. I did not assert that parents would "fake their child's autism".

C. I don't need your wish for revenge upon me; life has given me battles surrounding the autism issues; and issues which involved the garnering of no sympathy, no monies, no government support, no "human" support. And, nor was I looking for any.

This having been said, I wish you and yours well.
