Michael Savage is making some accurate observations, but drawing the wrong conclusions. He observes that Autism is not nearly as bad as the media portray it to be. He also observes that in most cases, though something should be done, it's not so extreme as to require a cure.
Here are his mistakes:
He said that 99% of all cases of autism did not necessitate extraordinary action. Unfortunately, the number is more like 80-90%.
He said that Autism is fraud in such cases, not that it's just a minor condition or "no big deal".
On the positive side, Michael Savage did not refer to us as "messed up" or make any similar remarks. He respects us as considers us regular people who exhibit childlike behavior, and knows that there is hope for us. He spoke not of curing us or preventing our existence.
Though what he said was not completely accurate, it's not nearly as bad as what Autism Speaks or DAN are saying. We've got bigger proverbial fish to fry.
