My 20 year old son has Autism, and this is good to hear and gives me hope as his parent. See the movie of Temple Grandin's life. It's worth it.
I'm really sorry to put this out there and I feel like many people with autism might be able to live a normal life, but for me, life with autism has been incredibly difficult. I'm not on the lower end of the spectrum as I seem pretty normal and I am verbal, I can dress myself and cook for myself, but I'm not very high iq and smart about one particular subject. I am around middle iq range where I seem normal enough to function but have great difficulty relating to people and holding down jobs. Life feels like a curse. I am afraid for my child because I don't know what kind of parent I am and how it will affect his life. I just hope he grows up to be a normal functioning human being. I think most people want their kids to be like them, while I sincerely hope my child is the opposite of me.
Thank you Temple. My journey was done alone. No help. Now my son’s journey, I’ll be there to help him every step of the way. I’ll never forget you.
I am a speech/language pathologist working in a public school system in the USA. I cannot emphasize enough how right on the money Temple Grandin is about all of the points she makes in this video. I LOVE language; I love learning languages and translating languages and expressing myself through speaking and writing. However, this is only ONE way to be successful. We HAVE TO stop expecting every child to think with the same kind of brain. Not only is it discriminatory, but it limits what we, as a society, can produce as Ms. Grandin illustrates so well in this video. We limit ourselves significantly when only one kind of thinking is emphasized because we get in a situation where we don't even know what possibilities we're missing because our brains don't work that way.....but neuro-divergent brains, visual thinking brains, mathematical brains do. Takes a village to make a village work!
Thank you! I fought the school system while my children were there in the 1990s with very little success. We still need to acknowledge neurological differences and save these kids. Why this issue isn’t embraced by educators and society in general confounds me.
I am just starting to suspect that I am autistic. The help I needed as a child was not available to me. But I was encouraged to get a job as a teen. Having a job helped me to learn basic social skills and non linear thinking. This was a very positive thing for me.
Temple Grandin has made a huge difference in how I see myself. I wish I had known about her many years ago.
I am a structural/industrial designer. My brain thinks in 3D. I'm not great at calculations, but I can see problems that engineers don't see, just like you are proving. I got my training in the trade classes of school. I have owned my own design business for 30+ years now and I'm shocked at the level of college level architectural drawings coming out now. NOBODY knows how to design to build. I design using a computer, but learned on the board, old school. I was taught how to think and solve problems. I don't think any of that is taught now.
I’ve taken a few courses from Dr. Grandin as an undergraduate. She has made me a better person, and I am so, so lucky for the dozens of one-on-one conversations I’ve had with her.
I really envy you, in a good way, talking in person to her, one of the best human beings of all times, i admire her having a very important person in my life being"different"as we wrongfully cake then, we are the different ones, i wish all could be as honest, human and sincere as all these great minds, that because We are different, look down, Shame of those,i am so proud of them.
YOU hit the nail on the head! Yes, I went through the same, I finally understood and told my employers I was a visual learner and it helped me a great deal in the workforce. And the very fact that only 1/2 the cattle industry use your systems is proof that the same prejudice in their management still exists. Their loss, but worse... it's inhumane for the animals and that saddens me. I have felt for years that you are one of the most inspirational humans that we have as a hero, yes hero. I pray that those with autism in the future are able to hear your talks, early in their lives and that their parents understand what those kids need. For the rest, I pray parents hug their children and even though when they were growing up, they may not have been, it's not too late and they can benefit too. God Bless you Temple you are God's gift to this world.
Wish I had heard of her when I was growing up in the 70s. I'm a visual thinker with a dash of music & language and did horribly in school. Felt like a fish out of water. It was the loneliest experience. Thankfully, I found what I do best.
One of my favourite writers/speakers on autism (and behaviour/thinking in general). Great to see you still at it in lockdown 🙂
So, great minds don't think alike.
I finally understand what it means to be me, I've Got a lot of studying to do.
Thank you so much.
Another hour to learn more would've been great! I knew as a child, school's rewarding of similarities vs differences and not fitting in socially, I was unusual. I asked myself a million times "what's wrong with me?". All the signs were there. I couldn't even participate at my own birthdays. I'd miss half my party recovering from headaches and anxiety before being able to join in. Every speaker on autism is describing me. I'm 52 and will be seeking out a diagnosis soon.
I absolutely love Temple Grandin. She is brilliant and very straightfoward and logical.
Oooooo all these yummy references and historical icons, my assignment based on autism is going to be great, thank you! You’re an inspiration!
I came across Temple on morning on PBD, helped me relate to the person I would go on to marry.
Your fantastic brain!!!
What a wonderful human being .
Did not know this women’s story until I was older but I am so glad her Mother loved her so much! Those Doctors do not know Best often!
Thank you for helping us to value, respect, and engage all our different kinds of minds!
It's so obvious to me that my eldest son is on the spectrum (just in the process of being assessed at the moment). He will be absolutely brilliant with the right support. However there seems to be a frightening lack of a) diagnosis and b) understanding of the issues of spectrum thinking. And it is so important that we harness the best of people.
Some brilliant pointers in this video, including getting kids doing work experience outside of the home at a young age, getting them away from screens and doing hands on activities, the "pilot's checklist" (my son needs this or gets very confused) and having control of noises to limit the over stimulation by them. I loved the idea of selling "your work rather than yourself" by way of portfolio work, too. Thank you, Temple.
Thank you for this video. This gives me hope for my child
She’s so incredible
Just coming across your work & absolutely blown away.. truly inspired & seeing life very differently!
I love this woman. She’s awesome.
Me too
Her face when she was talking about watertight doors in Fukushima.
Really important points raised in this talk, thank you!
Great talk!
Thank you. I always enjoy listening to you explain things.
Please put Temple Grandin in charge of education, instead of people with misguided theories that are failing our kids and society.
This was excellent!!
Is good to hear you say sell work not self. Helps
Incredible talk!
I'm an associative word thinker. I have aphantasia, a completely blind mind. I do not see, hear, feel, or smell in my imagination. 😳
This woman is just brilliant!
What an amazing person thank you Temple grand for what you've done.
So inspiring!!
Thankyou loads !
I agree with this talk so much.💚
I'm not naturally great at maths either, probably partly due to my low working memory as well. However I can kinda work around it by writing out steps and making like diagram drawings. Also, really, once you practice a lot at something you do get better. With programming for example, if you just do it loads and loads, you can start to recognise most problems and you sort of have a stock of possible solutions for any problem. Additionally, what I am good at is doing high level architecture, which is probably because that's "just" drawing like relations between things. That's like visual and spatial stuff moreso, which comes much more natural to me. What I don't understand is that currently, architecture is seen as like a step up from programming, when they're really just two entirely different things and if you filter out the people not so great naturally at programming at the very beginning, you're never going to have good architects, because it's a very different thinking style. Though again... sure... as long as any programmer gets plenty of practice at architecture, eventually, they'll also become sorta decent I guess. But it's veeeeery inefficient to do it like that
Some might say, "We need *diversity of thought!*" 😉
You are such an inspiration. Thank you for taking the time to raise awareness to visual thinkers.
This is very interesting, I'm very much like her .
I learned so much!! This helps me understand my kids better. Thank you. 🥰
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Love this ❤️
A very smart woman!
Interesting
OMW!
Temple Grandin is one of those who has participated in the CO2 torture of pigs. She's a bad guy.
