Jim Sinclair, a prominent autism activist, said, "When parents say, 'I wish my child did not have autism,' what they're really saying is, 'I wish the child I have did not exist and I had a different, nonautistic child instead.' Read that again. This is what we hear when you mourn over our existence.
Istaknuti aktivist za autizam, Jim Sinclair, je rekao: "Kada roditelji kažu 'volio bih da  moje dijete nema autizam', zapravo govore 'volio bih da dijete koje imam ne postoji i da imam drugačije, ne-autistično dijete umjesto ovog.' Razmislite o tome. To čujemo kada oplakujete naše postojanje.
