I'm seeing too many smart kind of socially awkward kids, a lot milder than I was, not getting employment because they're not learning job skills.

If you get a little kitty and he's down on the bottom, and he's laying on his chest, you know tucked up underneath, then that cat is not relaxed.

Some children may need a behavioral approach, whereas other children may need a sensory approach.

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.

The world needs different kinds of minds to work together.

There is a tremendous range of children with a PDD label.

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