On being autistic...

 "Now I see how being on the spectrum has made me different and I've decided to appreciate those differences"


 "People on the spectrum have a wide variety of talents artistic, programming. Things will be better if you give us a chance. "


"We have a lot of problems facing the world, COVID, climate change, political differences, racial injustice and we need people who think differently about those problems."
