I’m not alone in my interest of the work of Temple Grandin. Many parents have learned volumes from her speeches and books about the subject of autism.
I found this interview from Nation Public Radio with Dr. Grandin where she discusses growing up with autism, designing better working conditions for cattle, and the current state of the autism community. Temple says she had difficulty with language because she thinks in pictures, but when you listen to her, her words ring true and are easy to understand.
If you know little about the autistic mind, listen and learn. If you think you know quite a bit, listen and learn some more.
