All my life, I have been working with children whose lives were destroyed because their mothers hated them.
1981 re: cause of autism ~ Bruno Bettelheim
Autism Mothers quotes by Bruno Bettelheim
Go to every IEP with a plan of your own. Be the expert. Teachers and therapists know general information only. You, on the other-hand, know the specifics about your child – you are your child's only real expert. Pop in unexpectedly to observe. Keep educators on their toes. Be kind and push gently. If needed, push hard. ~ Liz Becker
Autism Mothers quotes by Liz Becker
Sometimes all a parent needs is to know the impossible is actually possible. Hope goes a long way when it comes to autism. Matt gives people hope. ~ Liz Becker
Autism Mothers quotes by Liz Becker
I'm always going to have struggles, but with hard work, determination, and the support of others (as well as faith), instead of having a life I have no control over, I can have the life I've always dreamed of!" -David Petrovic ~ David Petrovic
Autism Mothers quotes by David Petrovic
She'd noticed before how middle-aged women were obsessed with the topic of age, always laughing about it, moaning about it, going on and on about it, as if the process of aging were a tricky puzzle they were trying to solve. Why were they so mystified by it? Jane's mother's friends seemed to literally have no other topic of conversation, or they didn't when they spoke to Jane. "Oh, you're so young and beautiful, Jane." (When she clearly wasn't; it was like they thought one followed the other: If you were young, you were automatically beautiful!) "Oh, you're so young, Jane, you'll be able to fix my phone/computer/camera." (When in fact a lot of her mother's friends were more technologically savvy than Jane.) "Oh, you're so young, Jane, you have so much energy." (When she was so tired, so very, very tired.) "And ~ Liane Moriarty
Autism Mothers quotes by Liane Moriarty
may my touch
always...be tender

as i would stroke
mother's cheeks
when she cried. ~ Sanober Khan
Autism Mothers quotes by Sanober Khan
We don't have time for such uncertainty because it reliably breeds indecision, and indecision is one of the mothers of failure. ~ Dean Koontz
Autism Mothers quotes by Dean Koontz
One of my mother's friends said to me, 'Your ex-boyfriends didn't stand a chance with you and your mother.' And I think I probably was unfair to them because she was the first person and the last person I called about every single thing. Sorry, ex-boyfriends. ~ Lily Rabe
Autism Mothers quotes by Lily Rabe
Perhaps we're all doomed to fail as mothers, but if so, it's better to err on the side of showing too much love, not too little". ~ Julianna Baggott
Autism Mothers quotes by Julianna Baggott
Oh, by the way, the plot: it almost slipped my mind. Charlie French bought my mother's pictures cheap and sold them dear to Binkie Behrens, then bought them cheap from Binkie and sold them on to Max Molyneaux. Something like that. Does it matter? Dark deeds, dark deeds. Enough. ~ John Banville
Autism Mothers quotes by John Banville
I would tear them apart with my bare hands to save my baby April. I wonder if all mothers feel this way. Suddenly I knew why it is so dangerous to mess with a bear with cubs or any wild animal with babies. I am part and parcel with them when it comes to that. Lord, there is a mountain lion side of me I never knew before. ~ Nancy E. Turner
Autism Mothers quotes by Nancy E. Turner
I talked to her just like I talk to a laboring woman. Mothers need to hear them soothing words. They just as important as the medicines, sometimes even more. ~ Hillary Jordan
Autism Mothers quotes by Hillary Jordan
Tabloid discussion of bad children always blames baby-boomer liberals, careerist mothers and fashion-crazed Nathan Barley types who think it's all enormously funny. But the centre-leftish psycho-thinker Oliver James says it's all down to the Thatcher-and-after culture of turbo-capitalism, making people acquisitive and unsatisfied. ~ Peter York
Autism Mothers quotes by Peter York
I like it that order exists somewhere even if it shatters near me. ~ Elizabeth Moon
Autism Mothers quotes by Elizabeth Moon
When my friends began to have babies and I came to comprehend the heroic labor it takes to keep one alive, the constant exhausting tending of a being who can do nothing and demands everything, I realized that my mother had done all of these things for me before I remembered. I was fed; I was washed; I was clothed; I was taught to speak and given a thousand other things, over and over again, hourly, daily, for years. She gave me everything before she gave me nothing. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Autism Mothers quotes by Rebecca Solnit
Many stages of a baby's
development in the mother's
womb are related in
the Qur'an. As described in
Surat al-Muminun 14, the
cartilage of the embryo in
the mother's womb ossifies
first. Then these bones
are covered with muscle
cells. Allah describes this
development with the
verse: "… [We then]
formed the lump into
bones and clothed the
bones in flesh. ~ Harun Yahya
Autism Mothers quotes by Harun Yahya
I am a whole person. I'm not a neurotypical person with an 'autism' part. I'm not a disabled neurotypical. I am a whole autisic person!. ~ Tina J. Richardson
Autism Mothers quotes by Tina J. Richardson
Mother's life flowed radiant. Flourescent-tipped waves on incoming tides. ~ Maya Angelou
Autism Mothers quotes by Maya Angelou
When I was a deacon, the ominous signs of the Great Depression began to appear. Tens of thousands lost their jobs. Money was scarce. Families had to do without. Some young people did not ask their mothers, 'What's for dinner?' because they knew all too well that their cupboards held very little. ~ Joseph B. Wirthlin
Autism Mothers quotes by Joseph B. Wirthlin
I have always enjoyed watching women dress. The appeal isn't sexual. Most girls' first glimpse of private female life is watching their mothers dress and put makeup on. It makes sense that we'd find it comforting. Childhood fascinations often crystallize this way. Isn't beauty forever defined, in a sense, by the first things we found beautiful? Surely part of my pleasure results from the inundation of images that we all experience. But I also love ritual, and it is a mesmerizing one. I enjoy the ritual of dressing myself, too. It is a form of basking in a kind of femininity that I am opposed to as an ideal, but for better or worse, I think we all fetishize the female body, and intellectualization doesn't spare anyone the obsession. ~ Melissa Febos
Autism Mothers quotes by Melissa Febos
They took my mother's stomach out six months ago. ~ Dave Eggers
Autism Mothers quotes by Dave Eggers
The Flapper awoke from her lethargy of sub-deb-ism, bobbed her hair, put on her choicest pair of earrings and a great deal of audacity and rouge and went into the battle. She flirted because it was fun to flirt and wore a one-piece bathing suit because she had a good figure she was conscious that the things she did were the things she had always wanted to do. Mothers disapproved of their sons taking the Flapper to dances, to teas, to swim and most of all to heart. ~ Zelda Fitzgerald
Autism Mothers quotes by Zelda Fitzgerald
When two humans have lived together for many years it usually happens that each has tones of voice and expressions of face which are almost unendurably irritating to the other. Work on that. Bring fully into the consciousness of your patient that particular lift of his mother's eyebrows which he learned to dislike in the nursery, and let him think how much he dislikes it. Let him assume that she knows how annoying it is and does it to annoy - if you know your job he will not notice the immense improbability of the assumption. And, of course, never let him suspect that he has tones and looks which similarly annoy her. As he cannot see or hear himself, this easily managed. ~ C.S. Lewis
Autism Mothers quotes by C.S. Lewis
Following her instructions, I joined her in the chopping and mixing. The magical smell of pickling spices wound around us and it wasn't long before we were in another world. I was suddenly immersed in the hand-written recipes Mother resurrected from the back of the Hoosier cabinet--in the cheesecloth filled with mustard seed and pungent dill. As we followed the recipes her mother had followed and her mother before that, we talked--as the afternoon wore on I was listening to preserve the stories in my mind. 'I can remember watching my grandmother and mother rushing around this same old kitchen, putting up all kinds of vegetables--their own hand-sown, hand-picked crops--for the winter. My grandmother would tell her stories about growing up right here, on this piece of land--some were hilarious and some were tragic.' Pots still steamed on the stove, but Mother's attention seemed directed backwards as she began to speak about the past. She spoke with a slow cadence, a rhythm punctuated (or maybe inspired) by the natural symphony around us. ~ Leslie Goetsch
Autism Mothers quotes by Leslie Goetsch
My mother's career was over at 40 but she was still trying to be everyone's buddy, always smiling for the cameras. ~ Carrie Fisher
Autism Mothers quotes by Carrie Fisher
These people have all developed the art of not experiencing feelings, for a child can experience her feelings only when there is somebody there who accepts her fully, understands her, and supports her. If that person is missing, if the child must risk losing the mother's love or the love of her substitute in order to feel, then she will repress her emotions. She cannot even experience them secretly, "just for herself"; she will fail to experience them at all. But they will nevertheless stay in her body, in her cells, stored up as information that can be triggered by a later event. ~ Alice Miller
Autism Mothers quotes by Alice Miller
In May I received an anonymous Mother's Day card. This puzzled me. I would have noticed if I had ever had children, surely? ~ Neil Gaiman
Autism Mothers quotes by Neil Gaiman
Even as a small child, I understood that woman had secrets, and that some of these were only to be told to daughters. In this way we were bound together for eternity. ~ Alice Hoffman
Autism Mothers quotes by Alice Hoffman
I had wondered if all mothers shared a fear of how vibrant and alive their children were. ~ Alice Sebold
Autism Mothers quotes by Alice Sebold
The day my father came to claim me, my mother did not wish for me to go. 'She is a girl,' she said, 'and I do not think that she is yours. I had a thousand other men.' He tossed his spear at my feet and gave my mother the back of his hand across the face, so she began to weep. 'Girl or boy, we fight our battles,' he said, 'but the gods let us choose our weapons.' He pointed to the spear, then to my mother's tears, and I picked up the spear. ~ George R R Martin
Autism Mothers quotes by George R R Martin
Mothers are often fondest of the child which has caused them the greatest pain. ~ Victor Hugo
Autism Mothers quotes by Victor Hugo
Was she sad? She was angry. Furious at the smallness of her mother's life. ~ Celeste Ng
Autism Mothers quotes by Celeste Ng
Looking back, I can see that the women I loved, at least early on, were status symbols. I suppose, in that sense, I was my mother's true disciple. She'd taught me that a good man, though elusive, could transform one's whole life once he was caught. ~ Edmund White
Autism Mothers quotes by Edmund White
...and this is what grandmothers and mother-in-law and mothers do. They fight for the good. ~ Fredrik Backman
Autism Mothers quotes by Fredrik Backman
Working mothers with young children are the most time-scarce segment of society, ~ Anonymous
Autism Mothers quotes by Anonymous
The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father. ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Autism Mothers quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Mothers and grandmothers: these are the people that I admire most, not so much chefs. ~ Yotam Ottolenghi
Autism Mothers quotes by Yotam Ottolenghi
I think rappers are the fall guy because some of us don't have the wits to point the finger back. The thing is when you take a whole generation and whip them out, string the mothers out and put the fathers in jail - the reason I know respect is because my father is the mediator between me and my grandfather. I'm the mediator between my son and my father because I'm old enough to understand where my father is coming from and young enough to understand what my kid is trying to do. When you whip out the mediator the kids run wild and the old people are scared of them. ~ Nelly
Autism Mothers quotes by Nelly
But heart's desires? My dear, I see by your misery - by this very request you are making - that you know more of true men's and women's hearts than once you did, than your mother's world permitted you to see. Such chipped and cracked and outright broken things they are, are they not? They have their illnesses too, and their impulses. And hearts are not always connected well to minds, and even if they are, minds are not always clear and commonsensical. A heart may desire a thing powerfully indeed, but that heart's desire might be what a person least needs, for her health, for her continuing happiness. ~ Margo Lanagan
Autism Mothers quotes by Margo Lanagan
Primates – and young humans who lack verbal skills – will use physical aggression to express themselves or to get their way. They will hit, push, shove, spit, kick, punch, and bite. As children grow, they add verbal aggression to their repertoire. They will shout and threaten. As children develop further and gain more social intelligence, they begin to employ indirect and nonphysical forms of aggression. From an evolutionary and anatomical point of view, girls and women are less inclined to attack anyone directly, or physically, than man and boys are – unless, as mothers, their offspring are in immediate physical danger. In addition, girls and women are culturally trained to employ indirect methods of aggression, as a low-risk, low-injury, approach.

Girls learn that a safe way to attack someone else is behind her back, so that she will not know who is responsible. This tracks girls and women into lives of chronic gossip and rumor mongering, but it also allows girls and women to fight without physically killing each other outright. ~ Phyllis Chesler
Autism Mothers quotes by Phyllis Chesler
What mothers need, as well as fathers, spouses, and the children of aging parents, is an entire national infrastructure of care, every bit as important as the physical infrastructure of roads, bridges, tunnels, broadband, parks and public works. ~ Anne-Marie Slaughter
Autism Mothers quotes by Anne-Marie Slaughter
Mothers smell blood before the wound is given. We see the rent place on the child's arm before the arrow strikes. ~ Kaye Gibbons
Autism Mothers quotes by Kaye Gibbons
Let me tell you the truth: You are enough. You are more than enough. God made you, and God does not make junk. "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." (Ps. 139:13) You are not just a body; you are a body and a soul. You have an inmost being that does not come from your parents, from the physical DNA that they gave you, but from God Almighty who breathed life specially and intentionally into your very self. Not only did God create you, He continues to care for you and watch over you. "Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid." (Luke 12:7) ~ Leah Darrow
Autism Mothers quotes by Leah Darrow
As soon as [Patricia Highsmith] had stopped work, she felt purposeless and quite at a loss about what to do with herself. 'There is no real life except in working,' she wrote in her notebook, 'that is to say in the imagination.' It was in this state that she observed that only one situation would drive her to commit murder - being part of a family unit. Most likely, she thought, she would strike out in anger at a small child, felling them in one blow. But children over the age of eight, she surmised, would probably take two blows to kill. The reality of socialising with anyone, no matter how close, she said, left her feeling fatigued. ~ Andrew Wilson
Autism Mothers quotes by Andrew Wilson
You have to build your credentials as a candidate, not just as a woman. You also have to be willing to exercise power. We've been educated to be mothers, peacemakers, but we must learn that we can't please everybody. ~ Madeleine M. Kunin
Autism Mothers quotes by Madeleine M. Kunin
I more the "Autism World" gets imploded with politics the less voices will be heard. ~ Paul Isaacs
Autism Mothers quotes by Paul Isaacs
Overbearing mothers usually give way to one of two things in their children: rebellion or passivity. In your case, the latter. ~ Tarryn Fisher
Autism Mothers quotes by Tarryn Fisher
Since I was a big reader, I might be able to accomplish something. I
had no gift. That didn't mean I must be a deprived person. Besides,
why had the Enlightenment poured its seductive light all across the
European continent right into the poor endangered households of
Ukrainian Jews? Probably, my mother thought, so that a child, any
child (even a tone-deaf one), could be given a chance despite genetic
deficiency to become, in my mother's embarrassed hopeful world, a
whole person. ~ Grace Paley
Autism Mothers quotes by Grace Paley
Some people with autism who don't talk, all they hear are vowel sounds. Like if I said 'cup,' they might just hear 'uh.' ~ Temple Grandin
Autism Mothers quotes by Temple Grandin
The fact that women in the home have shut themselves away from the thought and life of the world has done much to retard progress.We fill the world with the children of 20th century A.D. fathers and 20th century B.C. mothers. ~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman
