“The one blanket statement that I can make about autism is that there is no blanket statement to be made about autism.”

“Most people don’t like neutral. They want you to have an opinion. And I’ve always been of the mind that opinions are only useful if you’re willing to change them very rapidly. I feel like the stronger your opinion, the weaker you should hold it.”

“LW: What do you like to talk about? JORY: One thing I don’t like is small talk. I don’t like to talk about the weather; I like to talk about nerdy, intellectual stuff. I’m a big news follower, so any news of the day will interest me. But I’ve found conversations about people’s backgrounds or why they think the way they do based on their prior experiences to be very interesting. What differentiates those things from small talk is that there is some value being shared. It doesn’t have to be vulnerable or personally revealing. But I feel like it’s a different kind of conversation because you walk away from that learning something.”
