There Is A Tremendous Range Of Children

I Am A Big Believer In Early Intervention.

People Can Live Up To High Standards, But They Can't Live Up To Perfection.

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.

Some Teachers Just Have A Knack For Working With Autistic Children. Other Teachers Do Not Have It.

I Was Nonverbal Until I Was Four Years Old. Back In The 50s, I Was The Kind Of Kid They Used To Just Put Away In An Institution. But Then You Get The Milder Autism Where There's No Speech Delay, But They're Socially Awkward. Those Kids Were Around When I Was A Child. They Were Just Called Geeks And Nerds.
