Autism is an extremely variable disorder.

In special education, there's too much emphasis placed on the deficit and not enough on the strength.

I'm seeing too many kind of socially awkward kids that get through schools and then they can't hold a job because they haven't learned the discipline of get up in the morning.

I feel very strongly, we've got to give animals a good life. I've worked really hard improving slaughter plants and animal handling and transport. And people have said to me, why don't you work on improving conditions on pig farms? And basically, to be effective on making real change out there on the ground, you can only work on so many things. You know, you get too distributed, you're not effective.

I feel very strongly that we need to give beef cattle a really good life. When they go to slaughter, it needs to be painless.

People talk about curing autism. But if you got rid of all those traits, who's going to make the next computer?

I want get people to think about sensory based of thinking.
