QUOTE OF Michael Savage -- is he serious or is he just trying to sell something? wth?
2008, Savage claimed that the increasing rate of autism diagnoses was the result of "a racket" designed to get disability payments for "poorer families who have found a new way to be parasites on the government."
He returned to the subject on his July 16, 2008, show with the following remarks:
Now, the illness du jour is autism. You know what autism is? I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, "Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot."
Its a weak, sick, nation. A weak, sick, broken nation. And you need men like me to save the country..."
By Michael Savage (or does he have narcistic personality disorder?) wth?

Autism is sometimes caused by Fragile X Syndrome, a neurodevelopmental condition that causes symptoms ranging from learning disabilities to severe intellectual disabilities, seizures, speech delay and anxiety.
It is the most common known cause of inherited cognitive impairment and the leading known genetic cause of autism.
Males are more likely to have it, because they are xy (only one x) girls are xx, if one x is affected the other x can compensate for females (albeit,its still there).
The medical director of the UC Davis Mind Institute and director of the Fragile X Research and Treatment Center, has been the leading authority on Fragile X syndrome for 30 years.
When you have Fragile X syndrome, and you have whats called a full mutation in the Fragile X gene, the gene kind of shuts down and doesnt produce this Fragile X protein.
This protein is very important for brain development, not only in childhood, but its important for brain development throughout life. Its the window for understanding autism.
Fragile X disorder affects approximately 100,000 people - mostly males. Females who have the Fragile X gene are generally carriers, affecting approximately 1 in 151 women. Carriers typically do not show symptoms, and it is not unusual for the condition to go unnoticed unless carriers request a specific blood test to look for it.
Fragile X is the genetic form of autism. There are other forms of autism that are not genetic.
