It’s Not Always About the Autism

I am the mother of two kids with Asperger’s Syndrome, on the autism spectrum. I was so relieved when we got their diagnosis. All their lives I just thought I wasn’t a good enough mom– I quit my job even, to stay home and work with them full-time. We tried every parenting technique in every book. If you think my kids were just brats because I didn’t discipline them, you have no idea. The older of my sons was disciplined to the verge of child abuse and it had no effect whatsoever except to make him feel like crap because there was nothing he could do to stop the “bad behavior”.

Michael Savage has every right to say whatever the hell he wants and be as ignorant as he cares to be, but I would like to invite him (and any of you who agree with him) to engage in sexual congress with himself. Dolts like him make life harder for me and my family, because we end up being stuck in our house unable to go out for fear we’ll “contaminate” the “normal” people’s existence with our autism cooties.
