“I was listening to savage when he said it. I also have an autistic grand son. Make no mistake, he offended me and everyone in my family. He implies that most autistic kids act the way they do because parents allow it! I will never listen to savage again, nor purchase a product from a company that supports this jerk....”

Lighten up! Quit being a victim and listen to the essence of what he’s saying...he’s saying that autism is over-diagnosed and he is absolutely right. Most problems with kids can be fixed with a good paddling to the rump and then some positive reinforcement once the kid gets the message and understands what is expected of him (truely autistic children not included of course).

Thanks Savage for empowering another sanctimonious victim group. I don’t know & hardly care about Autism...but jeez why not have a discussion on the cause and effect instead of a bunch of spewing the victimology!

Savage is an idiot who knows little to nothing about the disorder he is putting down, and you are joining in his ignorance with your comments. Parents of children with Autism are hardly to blame for this neurological disorder, and their skills in parenting have nothing to do with its cause.
