When ignorance was in session: Those with autism are fakes or merely "brats"..

How time flies.. but in July, just 3 years ago, radio show host Michael Savage had this to say about autism:

"A fraud, a racket. ... In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out"

Savage went on to clarify his statements:

"[a] fraud, a racket. ... I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.' "
