“The new cultures and terms like “neuroqueer” and “neuroatypical”—terms from autistics and other psychologically stigmatized groups who are now challenging the concept that they are “disordered”—allow what was once a designated minority community to declassify themselves from the social stigma that disempowered and dehumanized them.”
― Chris Donaghue, Sex Outside the Lines: Authentic Sexuality in a Sexually Dysfunctional Culture

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones
