Video: Conservatives Oppose “Autism” Health Care Coverage
September 23, 2010
This is just awful, but it was caught on tape. It needs to be made known to all those who think the Tea Party has the best interests of the nation front and center.
The exaggerated air quotes to deliver the word ‘autism’ is enough for every good voter to kick Sharron Angle in the butt come Election Day. It is also enough of a red flag for every decent American all over the nation to stand up to the uneducated, thoughtless boobs from the Tea Party and soundly reject their message.
This is just heartless!

And by the way, screw these phony politicians. Irregardless of autism being overdiagnosed, the REAL autistic cases need help. These politicianas don’t live in the real world so naturally they wouldn’t have a clue what real autism looked like anyway.
Autism is definately overdiagnosed. See you tube video: “Misdiagnosis of Autism Hurts Real Autistic Persons” It is shocking that media has done such a poor job at analyzing what real autism is. The temple grandin’s of the world are extremely rare. They don’t represent the majority of autism cases. Also, many kids today diagnosed with autism are always “high functioning” did you notice that? How interesting, as if severe autism just disappeared. The truth is too many kids who are not autistic are running around with the autism label, drowning out the real autistic cases. Professionals who misdiagnose children with autism who aren’t autistic should be fired and have their licenses revoked for being complete idiots caught up in groupthink hysteria and insurance scams.
Politicians don’t understand that autism is perhaps the most overdiagnosed and misused label/condition in USA now. Thomas Sowell the great African American writer, agreed. So did Detroit expert Dr. Colleen Allen from Henry Ford Autism Center. And so do many other experts agree autism is overdiagnosed. Look at you tube video “face of autism” This kid is not autistic. As are many kids featured on youtube with their mummies saying they are autistic. Autism label is being hijacked and abused for profit. Jenny MCcarthy’s camp is a great example of a person and publishers running with the autism label to make a quick buck, when the kid wasn’t truly autistic. Then you can google “amanda baggs controversy” to see an even more pathetic spectacle of the ever expanding autism spectrum. Way to go Dr. Gupta on CNN. Nice research. Way to recognize genuine autism.
It’s important to understand what REAL genuine autism is, so we’re not wasting money funding fake programs who are studying fake autistic subjects to make their study look better and generate more funds. You tube has some good AUTHENTIC real, genuine autism videos under “severe autism” that help parents who are struggling with severe issues like self injury, seizures non verbal communication. They will also show people real autism instead of the fake faces of autism seen way too often today in what has become an epidemic of misdiagnosis fueled by groupthink hysteria and greed.
You forgot to mention that she was against MATERNITY LEAVE! Talk about “I got mine” syndrome. She had her babies and I am sure she didn’t protest when her insurance picked up the cost, and now that she won’t have any more, she doesn’t want to help pay for anyone else! Is she suggesting that because I am a man, I shouldn’t have to help pay for cervical and breast cancer? Would she be willing to help pay for prostate cancer since she is a woman? What else would be on her list of things she wouldn’t want to cover in the insurance she gets?
Moreover, if she is elected to Congress, will she turn down the Cadillac version of health care that the Rep. and Sen. all get because it will “cover too many things”?
