I'm Seeing Too Many Geeky, Nerdy Kids

I Feel Very Strongly That If You Got Rid Of All Of The Autistic Genetics You're Not Going To Have Any Scientists. There'd Be No Computer People. You'd Lose A Lot Of Artists And Musicians. There'd Be A Horrible Price To Pay.

I Can Explain How A Person With Autism Thinks. I Am Very, Very Interested In How People Think. It's Been A Gradual Process Of Learning More And More About How My Thinking Process Is Different. You Know It's Bottom Up - You Take Specific Examples To Make Concepts And Then I Put Them In Categories.

Just Think About It Yourself; You Don't Want To Put The [cat's] Litter Box Down The Basement Because That's Too Far, On The Other Hand You Don't Want To Put Where Everybody Is Traipsing In And Out The Back The Door.

Autism's An Important Part Of Who I Am, But I'm A College Professor And An Animal Scientist First. And I Wouldn't Want To Change 'cause I Like The Logical Way I Think.

I Am A Big Believer In Early Intervention.
