#Autism

"Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. You don't want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldn't have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social 'yak yaks.'"

"You know, everybody's ignorant, just on different subjects."

"To measure the success of our societies, we should examine how well those with different abilities, including persons with autism, are integrated as full and valued members."

"Wit seduces by signaling intelligence without nerdiness."
