First, a quote from today’s New York Times on nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage:
Mr. Savage, above, referred to autism as “a fraud, a racket,” and asserted that what “99 percent” of children with autism most needed was a parent willing to tell them things like, “Don’t act like a moron.”
