There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN do, instead of what he cannot do.

I've got a lot of people that are really good at taming animals and working with animals; and they can't explain how they do. They just get a feeling from the animal.

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

I'd rather see a kid get fixated on something they can turn into a career.

If you start using a medication in a person with autism, you should see an obvious improvement in behavior in a short period of time. If you do not see an obvious improvement, they probably should not be taking the stuff. It is that simple.

When you're a weird geek, the way to sell yourself is to show your skills.

People with autism aren't interested in social chit-chat.
