Savage said that autism is being over-diagnosed and actually is a result of parental failures.

What don't these morons understand?

Savage didn't criticize Autism. He criticized bad parenting and the doctors who mis-diagnose the disease.

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....

If you’re one of those “bad parents” and have had someone alleviate your blame by diagnosing a disease and drugging your children into submission, requiring no more hard word on your behalf,

perhaps you’d be offended if someone called you on it and would seek to silence them?

(you, in the generic sense)
