What You Do and Don't See With Autism

When one looks at an autistic person, what do they notice? Do they see the hand-flapping? Do they get irritated, or nervous? Do they see someone who has a sensitivity to certain noises, or someone who appears to be awkward and disconnected socially? In a few instances, I have even seen people who get angry with someone who is autistic. Indeed, I used to have many of these feelings before I was ble Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Paul C. Nelson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Maybe every person on Earth has amazing powers
and abilities, but didn’t know how to put them
into use. Maybe people had lost the ability to
look for the shining light they all had. Every day, I
hear of somebody who can do something
amazing. Maybe if everyone could get out of their
personal tunnel, they could find their powers.”
Paul C. Nelson, Fisher's Autism Trilogy: Through Fisher's Eyes, Dark Spectrum & A Problem With the Moon

“The people we see do not seem to be as happy as we are.  They look like they are sad, and in a hurry.  They all look down at their phones and do not talk to each other. ”
Paul C. Nelson, Through Fisher's Eyes: An Autism Adventure

“In a world that seemed to center around greed, corrupt politics, hatred and bigotry, people with autism were kind and happy with the world they lived”
Paul C. Nelson, A Problem With the Moon
