I've got a lot of people that are really good at taming animals and working with animals and they can't explain how they do. They just get a feeling from the animal.

There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN do, instead of what he cannot do.

When I was diagnosed, mothers were blamed for causing autism. There was no autism support. They'd put autistic kids in institutions. I had severe autism. But my mom wouldn't accept that. I was put in speech therapy. My mother was always pushing me to do stuff.
