“If I could snap my fingers and be nonautistic, I would not. Autism is part of what I am.”

“A mafia don could snap his fingers and somebody would snap my neck. But when I snap my fingers, people start dancing. Or at least my clones would.”

“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.”

“I want instant coffee at the snap of my fingers that gives me more energy than that generated by a million snaps.”

“I am blown away that my God, who could do this all by Himself, would choose to let me be a little part of it.”

“I am so stupid, so easily fooled. It's really almost funny. If I could lift a finger I would gladly kill myself.”
