Having a child makes you realize the importance of life - narcissism goes out the window. Heaven on earth is looking at my little boy. The minute he was born, I knew if I never did anything other than being a mom, I'd be fine.
My philosophy of dating is to just fart right away.
Why should 20-year-olds only be considered sexy? I think we get better with age.
I'm free of stress and worries now because if I don't like something I'm doing, I just find the fun in it instead of being miserable. Let me have fun with the people I work with, let me have fun making money - when I grew up so poor, ya know?
I look at autism like a bus accident, and you don't become cured from a bus accident, but you can recover.
I wished to God the doctor had handed me a pamphlet that said, 'Hey, sorry about the autism, but here's a step-by-step list on what to do next.' But doctors don't do that. They say 'sorry' and move you along.
We can either continue to collectively stand on the sidelines and debate what is causing autism and if it is an epidemic or we can get on the field and start addressing the real problem - a generation of children with autism. We are not focusing enough on prevention, treatments and support services.
I didn't have to work out before 35 but now I have to.
I do believe sadly it's going to take some diseases coming back to realize that we need to change and develop vaccines that are safe.
Hope is the greatest thing for moms of autism. Hope is what gets us out of bed in the morning. I'm on a mission to tell parents that there is a way.
I figured out something spiritual. Billboard this: 'Life is supposed to be fun!'
Those outside of autism need to understand this is an epidemic and we need more government funding, insurance coverage and education reform.
You're always gonna have your anorexics and you're always gonna have your bulimics. I'm hoping that young girls will look up to the girls that are the size 4, 6, and 8's, and know that super super skinny is not pretty - just ask any guy!
I wanted to be in Jim Carrey comedy movies before I met him. I wanted to be a comedian on Stage 19, yukking it up.
I'm the comedic girl next door and a lot of fun.
I usually have my protein at lunch and my carbs at night - I don't mix protein and carbs.
If you ask 99.9 percent of parents who have children with autism if we'd rather have the measles versus autism, we'd sign up for the measles.
I can't even begin to tell you how many casting couches I was attacked on. Not just by casting people, but by stars.
You don't need a pickup line. Just glance at a woman from across the room. Glance - don't stare.
What is missing from today's dialogue is the effect autism is having on families, our society and what the unknown factors are. The 300lb. gorilla in the room is that our children with autism today will soon become adults with autism.
