Autism is defined as: a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.
While that may be the definition you find in textbooks and research papers, we think autism is so much more than that. We think people with autism are inspiring, intelligent, beautiful, and creative. Below are just a few inspiring quotes about or from people with autism and Asperger’s.
