"I think that autistic brains tend to be specialized brains. Autistic people tend to be less social. ..." — Temple Grandin

Autism is a neurological disorder. It's not caused by bad parenting. It's caused by, you know, abnormal development in the brain. The emotional circuits in the brain are abnormal. And there also are differences in the white matter, which is the brain's computer cables that hook up the different brain departments.

Computerized medical records will enable statistical analysis to be used to determine which treatments are most effective.

The thing about being autistic is that you gradually get less and less autistic, because you keep learning, you keep learning how to behave. It's like being in a play; I'm always in a play.

People are always looking for the single magic bullet that will totally change everything. There is no single magic bullet.
