If I could snap my fingers and be nonautistic, I would not. Autism is part of what I am.

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

The squeeze machine is not going to cure anybody, but it may help them relax; and a relaxed person will usually have better behavior.

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.

Autism is a big continuum, going from someone who remains nonverbal, all the way up to geniuses on Silicon Valley. And some kids are visual thinkers like me. Other kids are pattern thinkers - your mathematicians, your programmers. And there are others, they are word thinkers. Uneven skills. You need to take the thing that they're good at and you need to work on developing it.

Different cats don't like certain litter. They also don't like an unstable floor, no animal like's unstable floor. So if you put a thin piece of plastic down under a litter box and the cat walks on it and starts to slip, they don't like that. Any animal doesn't like an unstable floor.

The animal that I have worked with the most is beef cattle, so that's my favorite animal, but I like all animals.
