Controversy Over Autism
July 28th, 2008
Experts like me and and parent advocates for a better understanding of autism encourage early detention so that appropriate treatment can begin. But with recent radio host, Michael Savage’s remarks about autism being more about bratty kids and poor parenting creating controversy, what are parents to think or do?
This morning, I sat down with Gene Lavanchy of Boston’s Fox 25 Morning News to debunk Savage’s uninformed, inflammatory comments. Feel free to send the link to anyone telling you he or she agrees with Savage. Children with autism and their parents need support not judgment. Information is power. Spread the word.
