“Autism is not a puzzle, nor a disease. Autism is a challange, but certainly not a devistating one.

Autism is about having a pure heart and being very sensitive… It is about finding a way to survive in an overwhelming, confusing world… It is about developing differently, in a different pace and with different leaps..." -Trisha Van Berkel


"Autism to me, says that I accept my child wholly. I celebrate his differences and his quirky-ness. I advocate diversity. I try to empower him. I am proud of his successes, no matter how small they seem. I hope he holds onto the compassion he has in his heart into adulthood. I do not think he needs “fixing”. I am proud that he is my son, and sometimes I am humbled by that very same thought."


"I may have been born different and misunderstood from birth, but I know there is a place for me, somewhere in this universe." - Alyson Bradley
