More From Helen Mirren

Almost instantly [after my announcement of parkinson's], i saw the first couple of days the coverage was about, you know, "fox's parkinson's, blah, blah, blah." then, two days after that, i saw the coverage turn. it started to become, "can young people get parkinson's?" all of a sudden, the conversation turned to become about that. and that was one of the first eye-opening things.
Couple Eye Two
My life - autism's an important part of it, but it bothers me when i see kids where autism and their autism is the only thing they think about. i'd rather have them think about, you know, some art work they were gonna do or some science they wanted to do.
Art Kids Thinking
The thing is, autism is all different, you know, variables. and you start out with a certain amount of, you know, the point where the differences in the brain are going to just be a personality variant and, like, for very mild asperger's. but you get into more severe kinds of autism where there's obvious speech delay, obvious abnormal behavior in a two and three-year-old child, you know, the initial neurology is different from case to case. but all children with autism are going to do better if they get really good educational intervention.
Children Educational Two
What is missing from today's dialogue is the effect autism is having on families, our society and what the unknown factors are. the 300lb. gorilla in the room is that our children with autism today will soon become adults with autism.
Children Autism Missing
Mild autism can give you a genius like einstein. if you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. you don't want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. but if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldn't have science or art. all you would have is a bunch of social 'yak yaks.'
Art People Giving
When i was diagnosed, mothers were blamed for causing autism. there was no autism support. they'd put autistic kids in institutions. i had severe autism. but my mom wouldn't accept that. i was put in speech therapy. my mother was always pushing me to do stuff.

As a kid, i was a huge fan of movies and acting. my mom was in the sort of community theater, and i always hung around down there, and i was a massive fan of everything i'm kind of involved in now. but fairly ordinary and cheeky.

I think women are not interested in being like "the man" or having the same position as "the man." women want to be women with equal rights. at this point now, we're very clear about that. i don't want to be the same as him. i want to be me with the same opportunity. so i think that's the difference of today than the fight that my mom had to fight, which was a little bit different and as complicated.
