I thought I would share some of my favourite quotes about Autism:
“Think of it: a disability is usually defined in terms of what is missing. … But autism … is as much about what is abundant as what is missing, an over-expression of the very traits that make our species unique.”
― Paul Collins, Not Even Wrong: Adventures in Autism
From Ten Things Every Child
With Autism Wished You Knew
I am a child with
autism. I am not “autistic.” My autism is one aspect of my total character.
It does not define me as a person. Are you a person with thoughts, feelings and
many talents, or are you just fat (overweight), myopic (wear glasses) or klutzy
(uncoordinated, not good at sports)?
The following quote is about disability in general and it is very profound:
“Children with disabilities are stronger than we know, they fight the battles
that most will never know.”
