I talk about Autism, a lot

Trust Me When I Tell You This Guy Isn't The Problem.

Long before Kate was diagnosed I was invested in autism and other exceptionalities because I am a teacher.  I was not an advocate, or even well enough informed to do my job property, but I was interested and compassionate and ready to learn.  And then, this prick said his piece and I cringed and moved on because it really didn't threaten my world.  

Oh, how wrong I was.  

If you think he is alone in his ignorance, you'd be wrong.  I didn't post this because I want Michael Savage's dangerous message to spread anymore than it already has.  I posted this as a warning. Just because people do not say it as loudly and confidently as this loser, does not mean they do not perpetuate this idea every time they question your parenting or your child's diagnosis or your choices.  

In some ways, Savage has done us a favour, and shown his true colours.  He is like the racist that is vocal about his archaic beliefs.  We can spot the crazy easily and make efforts to avoid it and protect our children from it.  The more dangerous person, is the one that silently agrees with Savage's rant; the one, that knows his minority opinion would not be welcome, so he stays mostly silent and instead preserves Savage's mantra quietly. 

Below, I have left Savage and his supporters directions to where I think they might be most welcome.

Wow.... The only solace I can take away from this under educated idiot is that my children and I will outlive him.

I Know Tracy. This rant is 5 years old. I just re-posted his rant because I have lately been coming across people who feel the same way but are not as vocal and those people scare me the most.

I just couldn't. I got a 1:34 minutes in and had to shut it off because my blood pressure went through the roof and my swearing was scaring the dogs. Clearly, his father was a stand up guy and we have him to thank for his hand in raising this uncompassionate asshole.

It looks like Michael Savage did not listen to his fathers advice because he does behave like a fool and sound like an idiot. When he advises parents to call their children names and not validate their feelings he made the hair stand up on my arms. His belief that 99% of the children who are diagnosed with autism are just brats who haven't been told to "cut the act out" and "stop acting like morons" he clearly shows his ignorance. I hope this inane rhetoric doesn't convince parents to start demanding their child to "stop acting like a putz." Perhaps the person who originally interviewed Savage should have called him a putz.

I don't even know where to start... I'm truly disgusted by what he's saying. As if denying autism is real wasn't terrible enough, he goes on a mysogenistic rant. Seriously, I am shocked by so much stupidity and ignorance in just one person. I honestly don't know how you put up with this. As a human being, I'm ashamed that such people exist...
