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.
