No, he said....”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.’ “

I think his rant would have been even more appropriate for ADHD.

I wish he’d just apologize. He doesn’t need to be fired over this. But if he’s so concerned what a real man should act like, well it’s pretty obvious to me that real men don’t pick on retarded children, and real men apologize when they make mistakes.

He can go on making fun of liberals for the rest of his life without ever feeling like he needs to apologize for that, but this was something that crossed the lines of basic human decency in my opinion. Just saying “You know what, I was trying to exaggerate for effect but it really came out badly and hurt a lot of good people, so I’m sorry I put it that way” would end the whole thing.
