  • I too am autistic. I wasn't diagnosed until I was thirteen. I remember watching the movie about Temple when I was ten and I am not a person who gets emotional during movies and by the end I was crying and I said it was good to see someone whose mind works like mine.
  • @kill4keely
    the reason why she thinks like that is because her mind is on a different level than ours.. which is amazing
  • Whatta legend. Quality of life IS very important. She's very intelligent - it's true, you can't stop the meat industry, so you must improve living conditions. Very reasonable and rational answer - more sane than most non-developmentally disabled people.
  • @steinderbush

  • @Nacimiento1

  • @glenlincoln1

  • @GreenSeafoam
    I think in words… if I can verbalize it I can't think it.. I can't keep pictures in my mind.. beyond this very opposite talent I identify with her and her self awareness so much. I am so glad she speaks up and knows her stuff!

    Temple Grandin should design special education classrooms and curriculums.
  • @ColdPillowz
    man, Patty Satalia is an excellent interviewer

    apoleRune: thanks. I find Temple to be a very BRAVE person. She must be extremely uncomfortable most of the time in these media events, and in my opinion, she sacrifices her personal comfort for the sake of helping others. Her sincerity and her drive to make a difference in the lives of others who have suffered or are suffering - these are more tangible and powerful expressions of love than what we normally consider as "showing love" in society in general.

    On behalf of the animals, Temple Grandin, Thank you. On behalf of the human animals, also, thank you. You're an amazing animal.

    I met her about a month ago! I went to her conference and she was FANTASTIC. I was asking her a couple questions, but some of them she didn't respond to... until I mentioned that my fiance is an engineer and she lit up. I asked her what book would be good for an engineer who is learning about Autism. Instantly as I said "engineer" she referred me to her book "Thinking In Pictures" :) so I got an autographed copy
  • She’s an amazing woman. Over the week I keep watching her talks and interviews as they get recommended to me. She is so practical. I’m not autistic. I just appreciate some of her advice because it’s so easy to get overwhelmed, let things get convoluted and just get away from myself. Stress and problems ya know? Temple is a great role model.
  • @NancyLake444
    loved what Temple said. I thought the interviewer could have listened and inquired more about certain things she said. Through away the interview agenda and follow her logic, so much was just ignored. Temple says some amazing things.
  • @Monty835
    She really is an amazing woman.
