I Believe There Is A Reason Such

My Mother Was Always Expanding My Art Skills And Getting Me To Paint Different Things. You Always Got To Push Some. And, I Mean, I Learned Basic Things Like Getting Up On Time, How To Shop - You Know, You Don't Touch Things In A Store You're Not Going To Buy. These Things Were Taught Very Young. I Don't See Today Enough Of This Basic, You Know, Basic Skill Teaching.

If You Have A 2-year-old Who Is Non-verbal, Don't Wait Until You Get A Diagnosis At 4. The Child Needs One-on-one Teaching With An Effective Teacher Now. This Can Be A Grandmother Or A Teacher Or Someone From The Community. Grandmothers Are Especially Great. There Are A Lot Of Grannies Around. Go To Your Church For Help.

The Dog Is More Social. I Am Not Saying That Cats Are Totally Unsocial But Dogs Are More Social.

I'm Seeing Too Many Kids Where They Get Fixated On Their Own Autism. I'd Rather Have Them Get Fixated That They Like Programming Computers Or They Like Art Or They Want To Sing In The Church Choir Or They Want To Train Dogs, You Know, Something That They Can Turn Into A Career.

When I Was Younger I Was Looking For This Magic Meaning Of Life. It's Very Simple Now. Making The Lives Of Others Better, Doing Something Of Lasting Value. That's The Meaning Of Life, It's That Simple.
