Another Reason Mike Savage Can Bite Me!





For those who are not aware of political commentator Mike Savage's comments on Autism, you can read an article here about them. The long and short of it is he doesnt really think Autism is a real disease, that it is over played, and more a sign of lazy parenting.

The man is an idiot on many fronts, but on this one it is clear. Having a kid with Autism is the LAST thing a lazy parent would want. Who wants the rounds of rounds of tests, taking off work to spend hours at various evaluations? Lazy? Far from it.

Never mind what it does to your finances. We took Sinan to a well known local neurologist who works at the National Children's Hospital. He ordered several tests for Sinan, all but one involved the drawing of blood.

Cost for these half dozen blood tests? $4,000. That doesnt include the doctor's bill or the MRI he ordered. Yeah, so not only are we, as parents of Autistic children lazy, it would seem that we are LOADED as well.

What an a**hole.
