"An image presented itself to me while I was washing the bay windows...The door jammed while I was washing the inside panes, and I was imprisoned between the two windows. In order to get out without shattering the door, I had to ease it back very carefully. It struck me that relationships operate the same way. They also shatter easily and have to be approached carefully. While I was trapped between the windows, it was almost impossible to communicate through the glass. Being autistic is like being trapped like this."
- Temple Grandin, Thinking in Pictures
