Savage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Borders, Language, Culture.
My grandson is Autistic. I heard what Savage said. He is a pig and and anything to do with him should be stricken from this site.
If I could get hold of him I would personally whip his ass!
Our local AM host is saying that despite the hyperbole Savage is basically right, and that he probably mixed up autism and HDAD by mistake.
My cousin is autistic as well.
But Savage, in my opinion, is a genius when it comes to most issues.
Blue Monday!

Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More like, say WITT?
From the website:
The Autism Controversy
My comments about autism were meant to boldly awaken parents and children to the medical community’s attempt to label too many children or adults as “autistic.”
Just as some drug companies have overdiagnosed “ADD” and “ADHD” to peddle dangerous speed-like drugs to children as young as 4 years of age, this cartel of doctors and drug companies is now creating a national panic by overdiagnosing “autism, for which there is no definitive medical diagnosis!
Many children are being victimized by being diagnosed with an “illness” which may not exist, in all cases. Just a few weeks ago doctors recommended dangerous anti-cholesterol drugs for children as young as 2 years of age! Without any scientific studies on the possible dangers of such drugs on children, corrupt doctors made this controversial, unscientific recommendation.
Increasingly, our children are being used as profit centers by a greedy, corrupt medical/pharmaceutical establishment. As the brother of a severely disabled person who suffered and died in a New York “snake-pit” of a “mental hospital,” I know first-hand what true disability is.
To permit greedy doctors to include children in medical categories which may not be appropriate is a crime against that child and their family. Let the truly autistic be treated. Let the falsely diagnosed be free.

It’s war on the autism front! Kick ass Dr Savage!!!! While he overstated his comments a bit, he is correct that it is overdiagnosed! RIGHT ON!!!
I was nearly pigeonholed with a diagnosis of autism when I was younger and I think Savage was pretty spot on in his analysis. Autism is real, “autism spectrum” is a load of crap pushed on people who don’t want to raise kids who are not the cookie-cutter kid.
See the comments from Doc Savage I just posted.
Savage in good form today
I hear you. I wouldn’t have been tagged as autistic, but they would have nailed me with ADD and puit me on meds if they could back in the day if it was the popular thing in the 1970s. Thank goodness it wasn’t.
I always did very well in school but was bored out of my mind. They couldn’t peg me as deficient because I always did well on my tests, but didn’t fit the good student profile. I was bored, defiant, disrespectful when I was disrespected, and a bit of a troublemaker. All evidence of an IQ higher than my teachers, as well as a bad attitude! ;-)
KICK ASS DR SAVAGE!
