Engineering is easy - it's the people problems that are hard.

I like to figure things out and solve problems.

If you have autism in the family history, you still vaccinate. Delay it a bit, space them out.

There's no black and white dividing line between a mild Aspergers, which is the mild autism, and computer engineer, for example.

I've got a lot of other people who do a lot of things for me, so I've gotten to a part in my career where I'm doing a lot of talks because I want to get kids turned on. I want to see these kids, these geeky nerdy kids, go out there and do something.

By looking at autistic kids, you can't tell when you're working with them who you're going to pull out, who is going to become verbal and who's not. And there seem to be certain kids who, as they learn more and more, they get less autistic acting, and they learn social skills enough so that they can turn out socially normal.

Pressure is calming to the nervous system.
