Sarah recently posted about autism being a silent illness that is difficult for some outsiders (those not in the 'know') to understand. Highlighting this perfectly, Michael Savage, America's third-most-popular talk radio host (8 million listeners) recently suggested that 99% of children with autism are actually just "brats." He believes that they just need to be told to "straighten up" and stop acting like "idiots," contending that autism is a money-making scam invented by drug companies and physicians.

Ignorance may be bliss, but sometimes it really makes you look like a baboon.

It has been also said that 99% of radio personalities are brats that act like idiots as well and they should just straighten up too.

I don't know who said that though.
Wasn't me.

Good one, Brenda! We just saw Larry King with a special on this as well as this radio host's infamous comments! Ask Sarah what "n'importe quoi" means! Jan
