Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson
Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, Autism Father, Clergy
"My Jacob has taught me more in 4 years than all of my professors at Harvard or in rabbinical school could ever have hoped to, because my Jacob taught me to live now. He taught me that all that really matters is in the heart. He reminds me to love the unlovable, because the great miracle of life is that if we love the unlovable they become really lovable indeed. And so do we (Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, Everyone is Someone's Jacob: What I Learned from my Autistic Son, American Jewish University: Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies)."

Debra Hosseini
Debra Hosseini, Autism Mother, Author
"There is a myth that autistic people can't bond and make meaningful friendships. I've observed many on the spectrum who have closer friendships than many neuro-typicals. They may not have a lot of friends, but the ones they have are deep (Debra Hosseini, Autistic People Make Good Friends, The Art of Autism, August 29, 2013)."

Bernard
Rimland, Autism Father, Psychologist
"There are many, many treatments out there. Some are useless, but we have to find out which ones work. The government would want to take years to prove what works, but parents can't wait for years (Bernard Rimland, Quoted in San Diego Jewish Journal, October, 2002)."
