"For success in science and art a dash of autism is essential." Hans Asperger

"Consider the following four dead-end kids. One was spanked by his teachers for bad grades and a poor attitude. He dropped out of school at 16. Another failed remedial English and came perilously close to flunking out of college. The third feared he'd never make it through school--and might not have without a tutor. The last finally learned to read in third grade, devouring Marvel comics, whose pictures provided clues to help him untangle the words. These four losers are, respectively, Richard Branson, Charles Schwab, John Chambers, and David Boies."

nice quotes!
These are great quotes. I think they would apply to most disabilities also. I know they do to Williams Syndrome. Bring tears to eyes (in a good way)
Love these quotes! especially the Dr. Seuss one!
