Quotes are a great way to communicate advice and ideas. Nothing says motivation quite like a well-worded statement.
Share any quotes of blunt truths which convey wisdom you know, and perhaps an explanation of what makes it wise. I'll start with someone who has become important to me as a role model recently: John Elder Robison.
"We [autists] represent one percent of the population. Asking what 99 percent of the world should do to make it a better place for that one-percent member ? that?s verging on science fiction and fantasy. People who get into that way of thinking become militant about demanding their rights and thinking about what the world owes them. Frankly, I don?t think the world perceives that they owe us one single thing."
No doubt the society evolution has created over millions of years will stand the test of time greater than conditions which are relatively recent in existing. We on the autism spectrum have got to admit this, for from there we can begin positive change and adjustment.
