Nature gives us the dots. We humans connect them.

I tend to agree, being allowed our connections sometimes a different thing, but saying that most spectrum individuals seem a lot kinder to the environment in general, so maybe more should listen to us :D

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." (Dr. Seuss)

As for nice things that have ever been said about, around, or regarding me, I find that this is among my favorites:
"People like us..."
It doesn't matter what was said after the ellipses. Just not being alone makes all the difference in the world. I went home and cried after that one, because in 26 years, no one had ever said anything like that to me before. At least not when it came to living in (on?) and viewing the world.
