"Everyone, especially autism parents, have gone through challenging times. And we all get through these times. Some though seem to come through easier and emerge stronger than before. The secret lies in staying present and maintaining a balanced mind-set (Ken Siri, Autism Speaks, Things I've Learned as a Single Autism Dad, June 17, 2015)."

Dan Olawski, Autism Father, Writer/Editor
"As Autism Dads we have many great opportunities to be joyous. Our children face a daily battle at times just getting through the day…each time they overcome those challenges is a time to be filled with joy. Perhaps your child has just beaten a severe stim, or tried eating a new food, or successfully used the potty. Let yourself see the joy in that, Autism Dad. I know my heart overflows on those rare times that Mikey looks me straight in the eye and says, “Daddy.” You don’t need to look very far for a joyful occasion (Dan Olawski, Autism Society, PB&J: The Secret to Being a Great Autism Dad)."

"No matter how alone or isolated you may feel, no matter how small your world has become, you need to know that you aren't alone. There are others that are traveling the same road you are on. Just because you might not see them from where you are, doesn't mean that they aren't there and they can't help. If you or someone you know, is an Autism or special needs parent, please know that you or they are not alone (Rob Gorski, Lost and Tired Blog, December 22, 2013)."

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)."

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)."
