Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism you could remain nonverbal. You don't want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics you wouldn't have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social 'yak yaks.'

When you write biographies whether it's about Ben Franklin or Einstein you discover something amazing: They are human.

When I was old enough to go to movies alone I got to see 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' on the big screen. I just fell in love with them.
