Never ask for someone's thoughts on autism unless you are prepared to hear a story that doesn't resemble your own.

Autism is the filter through which all my other senses must pass, both input and output.

If you can't see the gift in having a child with autism, you're focusing too much on the autism and not enough on the child.

Hugs may come less frequently from someone with autism but when they do, you know it means everything.

Autism is not a choice. Acceptance is. Imagine if the opposite was true.

I like to think of my son as having an extra puzzle piece rather than missing one.

The whole world can believe in you but that won't mean a thing if you don't believe in yourself too.
