...you might be confusing kids with add and adhd with kids who are suspected of having a learning disorder and given drugs. An actual diagnosis for a learning disorder isn't that casual.

A child that has servere degree of Autism isn't faking. So I don't know what you are talking about. Not every person with Autism behaves the same. I talk to parents who have Autistic child, so I know a little about it, and I'm not against them. I don't agree how Mr. Savage behaved, and how he handled the issue, but I'm going to deny sometimes children are misdiagnosed.
Learning Disability is another one that has a wide spectrum of issues. If a person has math level is two years ahead of his English level then he has a LD. So what type of LD are thinking of? nevermind
The whole problem with this whole arguement is semantics, what specific ASD and LD are you and Mr. Savage talking about - they are umbrella terms that cover a wide spectrum of issues.
