Talk Show Host Michael Savage Should Read More, Talk Less - Page 2
When you compare a "normal" kid's behavior, to a child with autism, the differences are marked and disconcerting. Autistic children are hyper-sensitive to a variety of outside influences such as noise, smell, light, as well as, foods, textures and the moods of others. Handling these children so as to ease their emotions and sensitivities requires a lot of love, patience and hand-ons parenting.
I am all for disciplining one's children, but there's a huge difference between behavioral issues with "normal" kids and those with bona fide emotional issues stemming from a disability. I have tremendous respect for parents of children who must dig deep for reserves of understanding and compassion for the special needs of their kids.
So, essentially, because Michael Savage spends his time looking down on anyone and everyone whom he deems beneath him and raging on them through jaded eyes of ignorance, he has essentially cast doubt into the minds of millions of listeners of his show of the existence of a very real illness and the inherent struggles and difficulties of dealing with children with autism.
Great job Michael, what's next? Punching a litter of kittens, slapping babies for pooping, spitting on Alzheimer's patients? How about you shut yer cakehole assface and do some research before you go spouting off a the mouth. Go to the library, volunteer at a children's hospital, feed the needy, do something useful you cancer on society.
