"My autism is a very mild form. It was diagnosed at the age of 25, partly because it wasn't diagnosable as a teenager (this is Asperger's syndrome, specifically). But there were certainly traits within that condition, within the autism spectrum in general, especially at the high functioning end, that I think are best looked at as pluses."

“Love is when you have the opportunity of turning someone's feelings or trust or vulnerability against them, but you don't. You make promises you don't want to keep, but you keep them because they're right; you help people who can't help you back.

“We read novels because we need stories; we crave them; we canâ€™t live without telling them and hearing them. Stories are how we make sense of our lives and of the world. When weâ€™re distressed and go to therapy, our therapistâ€™s job is to help us tell our story. Life doesnâ€™t come with plots; itâ€™s messy and chaotic; life is one damn, inexplicable thing after another. And we canâ€™t have that. We insist on meaning. And so we tell stories so that our lives make sense.”
