If I did not have my work, I would not have any life.

You have got to keep autistic children engaged with the world. You cannot let them tune out.

People need to learn how to work, learn how to support themselves. I think it's just fine to be eccentric.

I know a lot of animal communicators and I think a lot of them are just good behaviorists because they pick up on a lot little posture things like how the eyes look, the posture of the cat ears, is it tense? They're picking up just a lot of their body cues from the dog, the cat or the horse.

The dog is more social. I am not saying that cats are totally unsocial but dogs are more social.

My grandfather was an engineer who invented the automatic pilot for airplanes.

It's very important for the parents of young autistic children to encourage them to talk, or for those that don't talk, to give them a way of communicating, like a picture board, where they can point to a glass of milk, or a jacket if they're cold, or the bathroom. If they want something, then they need to learn to request that thing.
