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.
Autism, like a rainbow, has a bright side and a dark side and even though it can mean rough weather, it can be beautiful!
Never underestimate someone with Autism, because there could be Brilliance struggling to get out.
Autism is not a choice. Acceptance is. Imagine if the opposite was true.
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.
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.
Parent's job = Prepare the child for the world. Parent of autistic child's job = Prepare the world for the child.
The whole world can believe in you but that won't mean a thing if you don't believe in yourself too.
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.
Goodwill is earned by many acts; it can be lost by one.
Never ask for someone's thoughts on autism unless you are prepared to hear a story that doesn't resemble your own.
It is one's duty to make the most of the best that is in him.
Forget the shoes, forget the mile long walk... just stop judging each other.
Autism; It's not new just because you haven't heard of it until now.
Hugs may come less frequently from someone with autism but when they do, you know it means everything.
Autism is the filter through which all my other senses must pass, both input and output.
If a person calls themself 'autistic' and you tell them they have to use 'person first language'... you're not putting the person first.
While fighting for acceptance, we must remember that our own self worth is not determined by whether or not we get it.
