The thing about being autistic is that you gradually get less and less autistic, because you keep learning, you keep learning how to behave. Its like being in a play Im always in a play. – Temple Grandin
If you have autism in the family history, you still vaccinate. Delay it a bit, space them out. – Temple Grandin
If you start using a medication in a person with autism, you should see an obvious improvement in behavior in a short period of time. If you do not see an obvious improvement, they probably should not be taking the stuff. It is that simple. – Temple Grandin
Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. You dont want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldnt have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social yak yaks. – Temple Grandin
