Autism is a very serious condition.

Autism is an extremely variable disorder.

As a scientist leading a funding agency for autism research, I think of autism as a neurodevelopmental disorder.

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

Autism does exist on a spectrum, and there are so many manifestations of it, so many kinds of expressions of it. And every case is particular.

I look at autism like a bus accident, and you don't become cured from a bus accident, but you can recover.

I am also a believer in an integrated treatment approach to autism.

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

The genetics of autism are real, but there are also environmental triggers.

People think about autism as something with kids. Well, those kids grow up.
