Lin Wessels, Autism Mother
"I have a son. He has autism. But, I also have a dream. I dare dream of a world where autism is not only treatable, but a world where autism is also curable and preventable. From this day forward, Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday will always hold historic as well as newly found meaning for our family. It will signify hope for all...no matter your color, creed, sex, age or affliction (Lin Wessels, Autism, Empathy, and Martin Luther King, Jr., January 16, 2010)."

The above words were inspired by Barack Obama who actually said, "The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on (Brainy Quote: Barack Obama)."

"Celebrating autism's gifts will not be at the expense of acknowledging the great difficulties autistic people face. We need help with social interaction, sensory issues and coping strategies in a world that can at times be confusing and scary (Amy Smith, Conversations About Autism Need to Include People Like Me, The Age, November 19, 2015)."
