Having a mother who had been an aeronautical engineer convinced me that more things should be open to women.

What it boils down to is that parenting a child with autism is a difficult job; writing about it is far easier.

I had, of course, no model for that sort of woman being married, but I can make that up as I go along.

I actually feel that the different kinds of stories come out of different parts of my brain.

Everything in my life that I value has been gained at the cost of not saying what I really think and saying what they want me to say.

I used to not back down from a challenge.

I can become very emotional about math, although I'm not that good at it.
