I think McCain either was confused (and at his age who could blame him) or saw a chance to garner votes from families who are actually dealing with autism....unlike Sarah Palin.

He never said she knows all about autism.
This is EXACTLY what McCain said:
She'll be my partner. She understands reform. And, by the way, she also understands special-needs families. She understands that autism is on the rise, that we've got to find out what's causing it, and we've got to reach out to these families, and help them, and give them the help they need as they raise these very special needs children.
She understands that better than almost any American that I know. I'm proud of her.
He says she understands "special-needs families" and understands that "autism is on the rise" and that we need to find out what's causing it and how to help those families.
It seems like you are the one who is confused.
