Either tomorrow or Monday, depending on the speed of the electricians, I will be asked to give a quote for my senior card (or something they display on a wall). Are there any good quotes that can lead others in the direction of being more favorable to those on the spectrum?

How about this from Hans Asperger:

"It seems that for success in science and art, a dash of autism is essential."

I know that is a good one, but what I need is something subtle that leads them in the direction. I would probably avoid autistic supremacy tending quotes as well.

Not everything that steps out of line, and thus 'abnormal,' must necessarily be 'inferior'. - Hans Asperger.
its the obvious one but its my favourite.
and also " you don't suffer from Aspergers, you suffer from other people." tony atwood. thats not so subtle though
