So how does it feel to be autistic when you are overstimulated? It feels like: 20 cologne smells (all people around you are wearing different things, etc. Autistics smell all of it), like hundreds of kids running around you asking you questions in different languages, like you’re sitting in a chair that is missing one leg and trying to balance it while all that is going on, and lights flickering…too much, hence why autistics have Meltdowns.

“Kristina DesJardins Author, Autist

I believe that genius in the 21st century will be attributed to people who are able to unplug from the constant state of reactionary workflow ... and allow their minds to solve the great challenges of our era.

“Scott Belsky CEO, Behance

There's no question whatsoever that multitasking, especially among those who do it the most, is at the very least ineffective and at the worst, harmful. Basically, they are worse at most of the kinds of thinking not only required for multitasking but what we generally think of as involving deep thought.

“Dr. Clifford Nass Stanford University

Human relationships are rich and they’re messy and they’re demanding. And we clean them up with technology.

And when we do, one of the things that can happen is that we sacrifice conversation for mere connection.

We short-change ourselves. And over time, we seem to forget this, or we seem to stop caring.

“Daddy, I have a question.

Yes, Will.

“

Am I symmetrical or asymmetrical?“

How do I clean soap?“

Should the rollercoaster I’m building in the

backyard be wood or steel?“

No, buddy.

(2 minute pause)

I think it’s historical fiction.“

Why is it everybody wants their children to be normal, but no

one wants them to be average?

“Roy H. Williams CEO, Williams Marketing

For it to be effective, curiosity has to be harnessed to at least two other key traits. First, the ability to pay attention to the answers to your questions— you have to actually absorb whatever it is you’re being curious about. Second is the ability to act.

“Brian Grazer A Curious Mind

Life isn’t about finding the answers. It’s about asking the questions.“

“

For too long, we've assumed that there is a single template for human nature, which is why we diagnose most deviations as disorders. But the reality is that there are many different kinds of minds. And that's a very good thing.

“Jonah Lehrer Wall Street Journal, 3/31/12

I’ve learned that every human being, with or without disabilities, needs to strive to do their best, and by striving for happiness you will arrive at happiness. For us, you see, having autism is normal— so we can’t know for sure what your “normal” is even like. But so long as we can learn to love ourselves, I’m not sure how much it matters whether we’re normal or autistic.
