I'm not saying there is no severe form of autism, just that there is nothing mild about having Asperger's.

Quotations

‎People with Asperger's syndrome are some of the kindest, most caring people I know.
–Dr Tony Attwood

Prejudice is a great time-saver; it allows one to draw conclusions without having to first consider the facts.
–George Bernard Shaw

We hate some persons because we do not know them; we will not know them because we hate them.
–Charles Caleb Colton

Let not your peace rest in the utterances of men, for whether they put a good or bad construction on your conduct, they do not make you other than you are.
–Thomas à Kempis
