Steve Silberman
“Sinclair described autism instead as “a way of being…[that] colors every experience, every sensation, perception, thought, emotion, and encounter, every aspect of existence.”
Steve Silberman, NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity

“All the diagnostic criteria dissolve in solitude. That’s why teenagers with Asperger’s are reluctant to leave their bedroom for school: the signs of autism, and the degrees of stress and withdrawal, are proportional”
Steve Silberman, NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity

Steve Silberman
“When other kids bullied him, which happened often, his mother would say, “Be nice to them and they’ll be friends with you.” But he couldn’t figure out why he was expected to want to be friends with people who treated him so cruelly.”
Steve Silberman, NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity

“When I go to these things, I shouldn’t just be Ari. I should be representing a larger group of people and acting as a conduit for their access.”
Steve Silberman, NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity

“Autism diagnoses rarely come as a surprise in the sense that the recipient didn’t perceive anything different about themselves; they tend to come as a surprise only in that the recipient didn’t expect autism to be the answer.”
Pierre Novellie, Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things?: A Comedian's Guide to Autism
