Autism doesn't have to define a person. Artists with autism are like anyone else: They define themselves through hard work and individuality.
Adrienne Bailon

Agatha Christie
Very few of us are what we seem.

I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all.
Coco Chanel

Our uniqueness makes us special, makes perception valuable – but it can also make us lonely. This loneliness is different from being ‘alone’: You can be lonely even surrounded by people. The feeling I’m talking about stems from the sense that we can never fully share the truth of who we are. I experienced this acutely at an early age.

Amy Tan

As soon as something becomes 'trendy,' I go off it. I hate the idea of being a sheep and just following a look because I've been told it's fashionable. Individuality makes the world a much more interesting place.
Eliza Doolittle

What is genius but the power of expressing a new individuality? Elizabeth Barrett Browning

American poetry, like American painting, is always personal with an emphasis on the individuality of the poet.
Diane Wakoski

The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character.
Emma Goldman

Georgia O'Keefe
I decided to accept as true my own thinking.

I have things in my head that are not like what anyone taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me, so natural to my way of being and thinking.

I can't live where I want to, I can't go where I want to go, I can't do what I want to, I can't even say what I want to. I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to.

Someone else's vision will never be as good as your own vision of yourself. Live and die with it 'cause in the end it’s all you have. Lose it and you lose yourself and everything else. I should have listened to myself.

I know now that most people are so closely concerned with themselves that they are not aware of their own individuality, I can see myself, and it has helped me to say what I want to say in paint.

I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it's up to them to find that quality and let it live.

Grace Jones

Men have been found to resist the most powerful monarchs and to refuse to bow down before them, but few indeed have been found to resist the crowd, to stand up alone before misguided masses, to face their implacable frenzy without weapons and with folded arms to dare a no when a yes is demanded. Such a man was Zola!
Hannah Arendt

Love, with very young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk; it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine.
Karen Blixen

To be yourself is truly a revolutionary act, and I think more and more people should try it, because it's gotten me a pretty cool life.
Lena Waithe

Our uniqueness, our individuality, and our life experience molds us into fascinating beings. I hope we can embrace that. I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together.
Linda Thompson

...what I have learned for myself is that I don't have to be anybody else; and that myself is good enough; and that when I am being true to that self, then I can avail myself to extraordinary things such as this, you know, that I didn't think was necessarily possible...and I think that's the thing. You have to allow for the impossible to be possible.
Lupita Nyong'o

I think the most powerful beauty is representative of uniqueness and individuality of every person.
Nikita Dragun

No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
Virginia Woolf

You change the world by being yourself.
Yoko Ono
