“We do not belong to this material world that science constructs for us. We are not in it; we are outside. We are only spectators. The reason why we believe that we are in it, that we belong to the picture, is that our bodies are in the picture. Our bodies belong to it.

“In America we've spent over a billion dollars on autism research. What have we got for that? We've not seen anything that's appreciably impacted the quality of life of autistic people, regardless of their place on the spectrum. Quite frankly, we've spent $1bn figuring out how to make mice autistic and we'll spend another $1bn figuring out how to make them not autistic.

Those are the real priorities.” PeopleThinkingPersonsRealAbleJobsAmericaMy OwnQualityMorningSupportResearchWake UpDollarsAverageCommunicateBillionsPrioritiesAutismMiceSpectrumQuality Of LifeAutisticAverage Person Author:Ari Ne'eman
