“Autism is Treatable”

“There is a perception that because individuals with autism have challenges in the area of communication and social skills, they are not interested in having friends. This is not so. Adults with autism may be socially isolated, but it is not always indicative of a preference for solitude.”

“In my opinion, our health care system has failed when a doctor fails to treat an illness that is treatable.”

“Autism is not the end of the World. . . just the beginning of a new one.”

“In reference to Einstein's definition of insanity...No Mr. Einstein, that is not insanity, that is autism.”

“I see autism as having many different strands. All of these strands are beautiful. They are all the colours of the rainsbow intertwined intricately into the child. If you try and take away the autism by removing the strands you also take away parts of the child as they are attached to them. Thhey are what makes them who they are. However autism is only a part of them, not the whole. It does not define them.This is for my Tom.”
