Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2008/07/michael-savage- autism.php Drive-Time DJ Discovers Cure For Lack Of Attention Disorder (LOAD) Vitriolic radio host Savage, whose recent remarks suggesting that almost every child diagnosed with autism is merely 'a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out,' caused a furor among the parents of autistic children, today told the New York Times that he would not apologize for his statements. " My main point remains true, " Savage told the paper. " It is an overdiagnosed medical condition. In my readings, there is no definitive medical diagnosis for autism. " While advocates for those suffering from the disorder are outraged, the unrepentant chatterer expressed pride in his ability to inspire " discussion on the subject, " which has resulted in exactly the kind of publicity he desires. " What else do you think I should make fun of, " he went on to ask a reporter, " pediatric cancer? Juvenile diabetes? Seriously, I'll say anything! Just keep writing about me!
