The whole world can believe in you but that won't mean a thing if you don't believe in yourself too.

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.

They are that same group, but I've got my own rivalristic problems. Is that a word, rivalristic? I've got my own rivalristic problems in the Eastern Conference.

The singularity has nothing to do with consciousness.

The America I was born and raised in intersected with people of all ethnicities and beliefs and that, coupled with my parents' instilling of good values, made me the individual I am now.

Funny to watch these Senators switching back and forth on Prohibition. Politics is a great character builder. You have to take a referendum to see what your convictions are for that day.
