Recently the radio shock jock Michael savage made the statement that autism was a fraud and that most autistic children were brats who needed to be repremanded (sometimes physically) by their fathers.

considering the junk i have had to deal with due to my autism as well as those of others and the facts about autism (seemingly ignored by numerous people), I conclude that Michael savage doesn't know anything about medical science, legit science, or the experiences of the autistic. I have been very steamed at what he has stated, but i am trying to control what i write about the man; as a Christian i dont want to go into a viscious verbal assault on him.
The question i have for EVC bloggers is where do they stand on this issue? What do they believe? And how severe is the ignorance of Autism in this nation?
