Having a child makes you realize the importance of life - narcissism goes out the window. Heaven on earth is looking at my little boy. The minute he was born, I knew if I never did anything other than being a mom, I'd be fine.

I look at autism like a bus accident, and you don't become cured from a bus accident, but you can recover.

Waking your kids up for school the first day after a break is almost as much fun as birthing them was.

Obviously, I'm not a trained actress, and right now I'll come out and say I'm glad I'm not.

It's absolutely imperative for the parents and the typical kids to have time by themselves, to go out to dinner or even go on vacation while someone else cares for the autistic child.

I'm free of stress and worries now because if I don't like something I'm doing, I just find the fun in it instead of being miserable. Let me have fun with the people I work with, let me have fun making money - when I grew up so poor, ya know?
