Hope is the greatest thing for moms of autism. Hope is what gets us out of bed in the morning. I'm on a mission to tell parents that there is a way.
I think that when you get dressed in the morning sometimes you're really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops you're saying: 'Hope I don't get chased today.' 'Be nice to people in sneakers.'
I have a three-year-old and a four-year-old at home and my mornings are about just dealing with the fact of that. I oddly enjoy it.
I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning a parrot which swears all afternoon and a cat that comes home late at night.
If you want to be an entrepreneur it's not a job it's a lifestyle. It defines you. Forget about vacations about going home at 6 pm - last thing at night you'll send emails first thing in the morning you'll read emails and you'll wake up in the middle of the night. But it's hugely rewarding as you're fulfilling something for yourself.
Since I travel so much it's always great to be home. There's nothing like getting to raid my own refrigerator at two in the morning.
If you read about Mussolini or Stalin or some of these other great monsters of history they were at it all the time that they were getting up in the morning very early. They were physically very active. They didn't eat lunch.
You can't set a hen in one morning and have chicken salad for lunch.
If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River the headline that afternoon would read: 'President Can't Swim.'
Think for a moment about what Obamacare has done: The federal government has come up with its own (ever-evolving) definition of 'health insurance ' which now includes free access to sterilization contraception and certain abortifacients such as the morning-after pill.
