I've worked with tons of people that I know who are on the spectrum - but now I think severe autism has really increased.

I know a number of autistic adults that are doing extremely well on Prozac.

I've been interested in autism since I've known about it, which is more or less since I've been writing.

Autism is a very serious condition.

We might want to figure out what are the positive effects of autism - mild cases.

I have a long-standing relationship with Autism Speaks. I've been supporting them for many, many years now.

I wished to God the doctor had handed me a pamphlet that said, 'Hey, sorry about the autism, but here's a step-by-step list on what to do next.' But doctors don't do that. They say 'sorry' and move you along.

I have two cousins with juvenile diabetes. They both contracted the disease before the age of 5, and it was so heartbreaking watching them go through daily blood tests and injections. It is such a difficult disease to live with and requires constant attention; a tough thing to explain to a child.

I have a condition called Aspergers Syndrome, which is like a mild form of autism It means I don't interact properly in certain social situations.

Diabetes affects my family. One of my kids is affected by it.
