"Some people have been Mentally Retarded, then Mentally disabled, then Significantly Limited Intellectual Capacity, then Behaviorally disturbed, then Learning Handicapped, then Learning Disabled, then Person with a Learning Disability, then ADD then ADHD, then Autistic."

A dubious assertion at best. Autism presents differently than the rest of those. Even the mild cases.

"I've observed the family structure and Savage is right about some of those kids identified with mild autism. They use it as an excuse to act out, and their parents use it as a cover for neglect."

Maybe for some. By no means is it a significant number.
