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.

My plight has given me a strange kind of wealth, the most important kind. I value each moment that is not spent in pain, desperation, hunger, thirst, or loneliness.

Someday. That's a dangerous word. It's really just a code for 'never'.

I bleed Dodger blue and when I die, I'm going to the big Dodger in the sky.
