MICHAEL SAVAGE DEFENDS HIS REMARKS ON AUTISM

Conservative radio host Michael Savage is not backing down from the comments he made about autism being a “fraud,” and a “racket,” during his show Savage Nation.

As protesters rallied outside of his office yesterday and called for his dismissal, Savage defended himself by saying:

“My comments about autism were meant to boldly awaken parents and children to the medical community’s attempt to label too many children or adults as ‘autistic.’ Many children are being victimized by being diagnosed with an “illness” which may not exist in all cases. … Let the truly autistic be treated. Let the falsely diagnosed be free.”
