“I will not let people use my difference as a stick to beat me with. I imagine throwing that stick into the river. Watching it disappear and float away.”
― Elle McNicoll, A Kind of Spark

“It’s not my brain that makes me break down. It’s the pretending. The hiding. The way the world isn’t built for us.”
― Elle McNicoll, A Kind of Spark

“Someone being autistic is no different from someone being left-handed or color-blind. It means we experience the world differently. And while some people might misunderstand it, I know that it is just part of who I am. I can't be cured. I don't want to be. It's just a fact of my life.”
