Comments on: The Shock Jock Racket http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2008/07/25/the-shock-jock-racket/ Rory O'Connor's blog Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:55:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Henry http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2008/07/25/the-shock-jock-racket/#comment-72380 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 04:32:53 +0000 http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2008/07/25/the-shock-jock-racket/#comment-72380 The term autistic has been misused to describe persons with anything from cerebral allergies and schizophrenia to attention deficient disorder and post traumatic disorder. Sadly, few doctors and educators understand true cases of autism to make a correct diagnosis. So they go with the latest media driven flow. Pick and choose from a broad and ever expanding spectrum. Or worse, they guess. The hallmark traits of autism are: sensitivity to sounds, specific tastes in food/drink, strange body postures, repetitive behaviors, inability to control emotions or excitement, poor reasoning skills, needs routines, resists changes, sense of direction and memory better than other skills, thinking based on association, not reasoning, once distracted by olfactory, visual or auditory stimuli, they become preoccupied. This is markedly DIFFERENT than ADHD, in that ADHD presents as easily distracted by stimuli, BUT, the person bounces focus from one thing to another. ADHD people don’t stay hyper-focused or fixate on something. That is what you will see a truly autistic person do. Fixate. Appear to be in a world of their own. Not wanting to play or socialize with others. Not wanting to play or socialize with others is only a hallmark trait of autism when it ALSO involves, not willfully choosing to ignore or not play with others. A truly autistic person doesn’t choose to not play or socialize, it’s simply who they are-- not to play or socialize with others—is in itself the core of autism—within oneself. They may show signs of affection or social skills, but it will almost always be brief. FYI: jenny mccarthy's kid was never autistic, is not autistic. Much like the mother who wrote the book about "tony" the allegedly autistic kid she cured, yeah right. Turned out "tony" had a rare cerebral allergy to milk...he was never autistic..and yes, years from now we will all know that McCarthy is yet another FRAUD who poses as a mother of an autistic son who was cured, but the truth is, he never had autism.....what a racket, what a scam , what a disgrace and slap in face to all families who are dealing with authentic autism as you can see on youtube when you type in autism and seizures or autism and self injury.....

Well, if you don't know that he solicited the murder of someone he didn't agree with over the air ON HIS RADIO SHOW in June or July of this year, I'm not surprised. There was NO coverage. He said the man should be dead. He said he would supply the bullets. It was almost entirely blacked out by the news (of course). I'm a Constitutionalist; neither a liberal or a conservative. Extremes on either left or right is dangerous. It's a lot more difficult to remain focused and stay in the middle. WAIT A MINUTE~

You are obviously a Michael Savage fan but are too chicken-shit to admit it. You are undoubtedly a dumb c#%t! I guess if you choose not to read this, just like I choose not to listen to nazi's like that d#*k-head Weiner, these rude statements won't offend. But that doesn't really make it go away does it? As far as freedom of speech goes, I support it. But as far as these a$$hole corporations that put these stupid c*%k-suckers on the air, those f#@ks are the ones that need going after. A while back, several Clear Channel radio stations, (Cleveland, Tucson, and one in a Florida market), all had jocks on the air ON THE SAME DAY, that suggested to their listeners that it was okay to harrass and attack bicycle riders. Un-provoked attacks on bicycle riders occurred in all 3 of the markets mentioned. These were, allegedly, totally un-related incidents, (at least according to the kids at Clear Channel). However the FCC didn't believe that it was just a bizarre or random happenstance, (kind of like anybody who has a brain), and Clear Channel was fined $20,000 by the FCC. The people that were attacked DID NOT LISTEN to the B.S. on the radio. So, the "NOT LISTENING" technique, that sounds so neat and tidy to a couple of you nice folks-GAG, is worthless. ALL OF YOU NEED TO WAKE UP! THIS IS A CONCERTED EFFORT BY THE MEDIA TO FLEX THEIR SICK MUSCLES. Hey America, flex back or DIE!!!

Mark Master also peddles a show hoste by his own father (!) that's selling the same lies. No wonder Savage's comments seem reasonable to him. Talk Radio Network and CEO Mark Masters spin is even more disingenous than you may think. TRN also syndicates a show hosted by Mark Masters father - Roy Masters - who is spreading the same lies about autism. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga5j4MSlKdw Savage isn’t the only Talk Radio Network show pushed by Mark Masters that is spreading ignorance on autism.
