these are disgusting comments on Freepr. and then to use slang like ‘moron’ and ‘spastic”.
I am sure there are many kids misdiagnosed. but autism is a serious medical condition, along the lines of mental retardation. Obviously, the hysterical Savage and his freeper posters just use hyperbole and nasty words as they do not know that serious autisitc children are a very difficult , sad situation for the parents.
why don’t we just treat these kids like we used to treat mentally retarded children: lock them up in institutions; call them “retards’ and be sure to make fun of them !
Just because ADD is over diagnosed, or some children are not treated approraitely, these posters scream about ALL children with mental problems “just kick them in the ass”.
Savage does not necessarily tell the truth and his “courage” is limited to name calling and tirades while he makes millions and is hailed as a “conservative crusader”. Conservative is not defined as “screaming anything, true or not.” Savage is laughing at conservatives all the way to the bank.
ok..let’s try another tack... you mentioned mentally retarded kids.. yes its sad, BUT I’ve worked with enough of them to know they aren’t angels.. and they KNOW exactly what they’re doing.. especially when the 12 year old boys make lewd suggestions to the teachers.. because if the teacher reacts in a shocked manner, they whoop it up... many children with real disorders get a pass by their parents in the behaviour department because they feel so bad for the ‘little darlings’.. same goes for autistic children.. most parents get a diagnosis and any discipline goes right out the window. So it may be a real disorder, but it doesn’t mean the kids should never be disciplined.. don’t think they don’t understand right from wrong.
