If I Did Not Have My Work,

Autism's An Important Part Of Who I Am, But I'm A College Professor And An Animal Scientist First. And I Wouldn't Want To Change 'cause I Like The Logical Way I Think.

Nature Is Cruel But We Don't Have To Be

I Believe That The Place Where An Animal Dies Is A Sacred One. There Is A Need To Bring Ritual Into The Conventional Slaughter Plants And Use As A Means To Shape People's Behavior. It Would Help Prevent People From Becoming Numbed, Callous, Or Cruel. The Ritual Could Be Something Very Simple, Such As A Moment Of Silence. In Addition To Developing Better Designs And Making Equipment To Insure The Humane Treatments Of All Animals, That Would Be My Contribution.

Autism Is A Neurological Disorder. It's Not Caused By Bad Parenting. It's Caused By, You Know, Abnormal Development In The Brain. The Emotional Circuits In The Brain Are Abnormal. And There Also Are Differences In The White Matter, Which Is The Brain's Computer Cables That Hook Up The Different Brain Departments.

But My Favorite Of Einstein's Words On Religion Is "science Without Religion Is Lame. Religion Without Science Is Blind." I Like This Because Both Science And Religion Are Needed To Answer Life's Great Questions.
