Quote by Paul Isaacs

“Neurotypical - Is the Word Useful? And/or Meaningful The word itself doesn't make sense - being used to describe "others" (people who aren’t on the spectrum) society is a mixture of different sorts of people and rather than lumping people into one "group" (neurotypical society, neurotypicals, NTS) wouldn't it be best to say people who don't have autism? People who aren't on spectrum? It has also been used as word to "attack” people who don't have autism which surely is reverse prejudice? Two wrongs certainly don’t make a right in this case. I like people on the basis of being people it doesn't matter who they are or were they come from I like them for their personalities not because of anything other – human beings are all unique and that means we are all equal in the world.”

“There's a reason we refer to "leaps of faith" - because the decision to consent to any notion of divinity is a mighty jump from the rational over to the unknowable, and I don't care how diligently scholars of every religion will try to sit you down with their stacks of books and prove to you through scripture that their faith is indeed rational; it isn't. If faith were rational, it wouldn't be - by definition - faith. Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be... a prudent insurance policy.”

“Non si cresce di colpo. Non ci si alza al mattino scoprendo di essere diventati adulti durante la notte. Si cambia poco alla volta, un passo dopo l’altro. Sbiadisce il ricordo delle cose che ci hanno fatto soffrire, giorno dopo giorno, una lacrima dopo l’altra. Un sorriso alla volta, svaniscono anche le cose che ci hanno fatto battere forte il cuore. Quell’attore per cui abbiamo passato notti insonni. Quella canzone che ascoltavamo tutto il giorno. Quel gioco che ci piaceva fare mentre fuori pioveva. Il primo ragazzo di cui ci siamo innamorate. L’amica del cuore. Quando passano gli anni si cresce. E crescere vuol dire cambiare, è un dato di fatto. Non si sfugge a questa legge: è come la rotazione terrestre, non si ferma e basta. Nasci, cresci, invecchi e credi di essere sempre te stesso anche se lungo la strada hai perso così tanti pezzi di te che, se fossi una macchina. dell'originale sarebbe rimasto solo il telaio.”
