I Like To Figure Things Out And

My Life Is Basically My Work.

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.

I Know A Number Of Autistic Adults That Are Doing Extremely Well On Prozac.

We Breed Dogs To Be More Social Than The Wolf. There Is Very Interesting Research That Has Been Done With A Wolf And A Domestic Dog. If You Have A Tamed Wolf And You Have Him Sit In Front Of The Experimenter Or Stand In Front Of His Master And His Two Dishes, One To The Right, One To The Left – So That The Dog Or Wolf See The Food Put In The Left Hand Dish But The Owner Points To The Right – The Domesticated Will Go Where Owner Points, Whereas The The Wolf Goes Right Where He Saw The Meat Thing Put. In Other Words, In A Dog Social Cue From A Master Can Override Where He Saw The Being Placed.

I'd Rather Have A Kid Come Up To Me And Tell Me That He Loves Dinosaurs Or He Loves Airplanes Or He Likes Training Dogs Or I Like Shakespeare. I Mean, Just Something.
