“Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.”

Epicurus (-341–-269 BC) ancient Greek philosopher

“You didn't lose a child to autism. You lost a child because the child you waited for never came into existence. That isn't the fault of the autistic child who does exist, and it shouldn't be our burden. We need and deserve families who can see us and value us for ourselves, not families whose vision of us is obscured by the ghosts of children who never lived. Grieve if you must, for your own lost dreams. But don't mourn for us. We are alive. We are real. And we're here waiting for you.”

Jim Sinclair (activist) (1940) Autism rights activist
