I like to think of my son as having an extra puzzle piece rather than missing one.

Autism is not a disability, it's a different ability.

Never underestimate someone with Autism, because there could be Brilliance struggling to get out.

Autism, like a rainbow, has a bright side and a dark side and even though it can mean rough weather, it can be beautiful!

Autism is not a choice. Acceptance is. Imagine if the opposite was true.

One of the hardest things for a person with autism to do is believe in themselves. But autistics have every right to be as proud as anyone.

Yes some people say ignorant things about autism but silencing them solves nothing. They need to be educated. That's how things change.

If you can't see the gift in having a child with autism, you're focusing too much on the autism and not enough on the child.

Goodwill is earned by many acts; it can be lost by one.

Having a child with Autism can mess with your head: You feel like you can move mountains for them yet you're powerless at the same time.

It is one's duty to make the most of the best that is in him.

Merkabah is translated as either meaning the throne of god or chariot. Both definitions imply a means of spiritual ascension, not a physical one. They only have it partly right.

Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.

Life would be pretty boring if we didn't have vices.

The fear tactic is a tactic that's used by people who want to maintain control, and it's very effective.

Having a Republican candidate speak at the NAACP convention is like trying to build a house starting at the roof. If you don't have a foundation, the roof isn't going to stand.

I think the more stressful our times get, the more we look for fantasy escapes.

A sane person to an insane society must appear insane.

In these flashes of insight, I understand for a moment that one of the great dividends of darkness is an increased sensitivity to the light.

I am fine with the fact that some of my hair is gray. If it was all gray overnight, that would be a scary thing.

I just know what it's like being an East Coast person, being from New Jersey.
