• It's very important for the parents of young autistic children to encourage them to talk, or for those that don't talk, to give them a way of communicating, like a picture board, where they can point to a glass of milk, or a jacket if they're cold, or the bathroom. If they want something, then they need to learn to request that thing.

• Much attention has been focused on the MMR shot itself, whereas in all probability it is a combination of the three factors listed above: the increasing number of vaccines, the large amount of mercury, and the inherent danger of the triple vaccine.....The MMR vaccine is also especially suspect because laboratories in England, Ireland, and Japan have found evidence of MMR vaccine viruses in the intestinal tracts of autistic children, but not in control group, non-autistic children.

• You try to sit down at approximately the same time every day. This is how you train your unconscious to kick in for you creatively. ... You put a piece of paper in the typewriter, or you turn on your computer and bring up the right file. ... You begin rocking, just a little at first, and then like a huge autistic child. ... Then your mental illnesses arrive at the desk like your sickest, most secretive relatives. And they pull up chairs in a semicircle around the computer, and they try to be quiet but you know they are there with their weird coppery breath, leering at you behind your back.

• Cuando los padres dicen: "Ojalá mi hijo no tuviera autismo", lo que en realidad están diciendo es: "Ojalá el hijo autista que tengo no existiera y en su lugar tuviera otro hijo [no autista]". Léelo otra vez. Esto es lo que oímos cuando te lamentas por nuestra existencia. Esto es lo que oímos cuando rezas por una cura. Esto es lo que sabemos, cuando nos hablas de tus más tiernos sueños y esperanzas para nosotros: que tu mayor deseo es que un día dejemos de ser, y extraños a los que puedas amar se instalen detrás de nuestras caras.
