Isn't this a rather baseless, false claim? Where does the "99%" come from? How is Micheal Savage perceived in America? Is he very popular among American conservatives? I must admit that I disliked this meme instantly probably because I met a few autistic children/young adults in the past and they were not fake.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I've never listened to the guy, but seeing autistic children, and having a younger brother who is autistic, I say that he's full of sh!t. It's a mental condition caused by something, and no one has figured out a cure for yet. There are various levels of autism, and some cases can be improved with the right kind of treatments, which I won't go into here, but let me say that Mr. Savage is acting like an uneducated savage here.

A big sign that M.S. doesn't "get it" is his name calling.
Telling a person to "act like a man" is on par with "get a life" and/or "use common sense"...all derogatory remarks from rude people that don't get it.
Calling him/her an "idiot" is not only low, mean, and ignorant - but we who have run debate groups know that it's a sign that the person using "name calling" not only has nothing - They're a sore loser.
And while a small minority of children do need more structured discipline...to say that "in 99% of cases they are "brats" - is another "name call" that tells us more about Mr. Savage.
They who name call know they have no data on their side/in their defense - so instead of bowing to the facts they stoop lower and "name call".
Let me attach three "Debate pyramid" images. Good guides for dealing with people like this;
And here's Mr. Savage's bio. Wow...

A great response!
I had not heard of him until this posting. This is what right wing radio hosts do. Trying to out shock the other hosts to get numbers up.
Look at Tucker, he has passed Hannity for crazy shit and people don't mention Hannity much lately. The wilder the bullshit, the more the stupid buy into it.

Conservative alpha males like Michael Savage and Donald Trump are so cool about harassing people with disabilities while being a bunch of Karen's with dicks when their privilege comes into question and utter toadies when in the presence of what they consider a more manly man then themselves.
Yes it applies to Trump, what you didn't see him tuck his tail between his legs and pee himself a little when Putin was around?
Conservative anti-feminist men, which includes their women, are the weakest creatures on the planet Earth.

In 2009, Savage was placed on a list of people permanently banned from entering the United Kingdom by British Home Secretary for "seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred.So I'd say the people that have heard of him and evaluate his position, generally don't like him unless they are racist.

Hi there. Thanks for that piece of information. I live in England but I wasn't aware of that! I would like to think that most people, left or right or whatever, are not impressionable and susceptible to disinformation like this meme.
Wow, I'd never heard of him. Kind of wish I still hadn't. But good for the UK. Here we call it free speech and let them do their toxic worst. How stupid are we?

@Lauren misinformed more like, otherwise it's freedom.
Not needed talks at all, yet if people act on their own merit, find the freedom to discus openly is better then having a position of power that can be altered or commanded in a way that limits what is or isn't allowed to be stated. (That would get abused.)
Out of the two options, would rather just try to ignore or combat a speaker in a far away city, then try to not be suppressed by any sort of meaningful power.
Michael Savage is an idiot.

That is a grievous insult to idiots.
I'm an American and this is the first I've heard of Michael Savage or any opinion attributed to him. If he did say this, he's an uninformed putz spreading dangerous misinformation. He reminds me of the dolts who think mental illness can be cured by spending more time outside.

Me too. Never heard of him before now. Must only circulate in severely Republican/moron circles and can't even make it to popular platforms like Fox News (that center and left sources would cover) because they even find him to be a liability.
He would have been a good fit in Adolf Hitler's eugenics program.
