- Dr. Temple Grandin comes to Google to talk about her book: The Autistic Brain: Thinking Across the Spectrum.
When Temple Grandin was born in 1947, autism had only just been named. Today it is more prevalent than ever, with one in 88 children diagnosed on the spectrum. And our thinking about it has undergone a transformation in her lifetime: Autism studies have moved from the realm of psychology to neurology and genetics, and there is far more hope today than ever before thanks to groundbreaking new research into causes and treatments. Now Temple Grandin reports from the forefront of autism science, bringing her singular perspective to a thrilling journey into the heart of the autism revolution.
Weaving her own experience with remarkable new discoveries, Grandin introduces the neuroimaging advances and genetic research that link brain science to behavior, even sharing her own brain scan to show us which anomalies might explain common symptoms. We meet the scientists and self-advocates who are exploring innovative theories of what causes autism and how we can diagnose and best treat it. Grandin also highlights long-ignored sensory problems and the transformative effects we can have by treating autism symptom by symptom, rather than with an umbrella diagnosis. Most exciting, she argues that raising and educating kids on the spectrum isn't just a matter of focusing on their weaknesses; in the science that reveals their long-overlooked strengths she shows us new ways to foster their unique contributions.
From the "aspies" in Silicon Valley to the five-year-old without language, Grandin understands the true meaning of the word spectrum. The Autistic Brain is essential reading from the most respected and beloved voices in the field.

I am an autistic schizophrenic with depression.
I am not a victim, I am a survivor.
Until age 53 I had no idea I am autistic, for years I thought I was cursed for something I had done in a former life, and to make it worse I was encouraged to believe this by relatives who claimed to be spiritualists.
My father was violent, so was my mother's boyfriend, along with years of bullying in both primary and secondary schools.
I cannot work, I have no friends and I have no relationship by choice, too much grief and heartache.
But the key thing is: I have no addictions to drugs, alcohol or even cigarettes.
I live in my own space and I am happy.
Best wishes to all my fellow autistics, and schizophrenics, and depressives.
Never give up, you are much stronger than you think.
Hey.have a great day
I think you are a wonderful person! Do what you need and what makes you feel good. Skip the rest.
I only just watched this video by Dr. Grandin , what a great lady. Reading through the comments I came to yours and I hope you are still doing well. You were given quite a challenge. My God Bless and keep you.
God bless you. You've figured out what U need. A lot of regular people need to do that. Hope U are well & happy. I understand the no friends, & I'm not autistic, so I do hope someday U find a friend (hope we both do)

I have dyslexia, I wasn't diagnosed with this until I was 50. I knew something was wrong, but I consider myself just stupid when it came to reading. English was very hard for me, I just eek through. In all my other classes, I made excellent grades. Not all dyslexia people see words jumping. My dyslexia works like this. I must break the words down into components. Syllables, but my retention rate is 97 %. I'm a visual learner. In 1993, I went through a battery of tests. The psychologist who did the testing was amazed at my ability to overcome my dyslexia. I scored very high in intelligence. Algebra was totally confusing to me, I could get the answer quickly in my head, but showing on papers didn't make sense.
Later in life, I became a professional pilot, instructor pilot, and examiner. Teased all my life as a big dumb kid. Don't sell people with dyslexia short. We are far smarter than you think
I’m Dyslexic too, high school was always hard for me, but I always showed that I am just as capable as everyone else 👏🏻🙏🏻 keep being awesome🌟
I have autism and oh my lord. This lady is the most incredible person that I’ve ever seen. It’s inspiring to know that she doesn’t care about the stigma. :))
She grew up before autism was really knows. She and her family knew others though she was weird, but still did everything they could to teach and love her. I think she was first diagnosed as infential schizophrenia. So they just accepted others were going to think they were weird. To her, her work being of value and improving things around her is where she also got alot of value.
why should you? what is it so great that neurotypicals do? if their default reaction to people who don't bully, is to bully....they hold no value.
The stigma is retarded. It's actually awesome to be autistic!! Autistic people are awesome!
I've learned I do best when outside of society working on my own. The constraint people put on life makes it hard to work. I was as they say blessed with a opportunity. I was able to buy land with enough space to work on projects. I've seen so many things in life that need that autistic touch. The world is moving in a way I see could allow for more to find the same path to unhindered creation. Well less hindered. I'm searching for the best jurisdiction to buy my next property. I wish there was a better open source standard for property searches. Now I got myself started on what the internet could be. Ok, before I drop 10 pages of information no one will read.
@@TioDave I listen. You never know when some word or phrase or idea could change the whole course of your existence. I'm looking for a new path, where my weirdy weirdo weirdness is a good thing and enables me to succeed in creating a stable and fulfilling life, full of meaning and purpose.
I'm working on creating a sturdy platform, and verbalizing my values and strengths. Looking at those who have been successful is vital! Thank you for sharing your insights!
The fact that this video only has 235,000 views is not only tragic, but a testament to society's shrinking attention span.
dozzn't matter the number of views, it matters if THOSE THAT NEED TO SEE HER MESSAGE SEES HER MESSAGE !!! EVENTUALLY !!!
as long as the people that NEED TO SEE IT are amung those views... or those that need to pass it on see it and get it passed onto those that need it...
anyhow, don't matter if 1 million or 3 people see it if those 3 that need to see it are included in that 1mill or 3 views, that is what matters!!!
PASS THIS AUTISIUM SURVIVER'S MESSAGE ALONG TO ALL !!!! so that ALL THAT NEED TO SEE IT HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF SEEING IT! :)
I agree with that, coz thinking is difficult. It needs understanding inside and out..
Love it. " Treat a problem at its source rather than treating the symptom" Brilliant woman. A gift to humanity.
She needs to come to my plant.....and oh that's why I hate fluorescent lights
I have Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am so alone.
@LA Bauer Don’t worry. You’re not the only one with autism in the world. I am, too.
@@knightwolf9863 wow! thank you for taking the time to reply, that is very much appreciated & humbling.
Exactly my sentiments spot on! I love Temple because I can relate to her so much as my brain works in pictures and patterns.
Work life is very tough for people like us. Especially when you are "shy" (quiet), and bad at selling yourself. And in my country, all the companies are the same - people are just people to them. The sickness of today's time, everyone is expected to be the same.
It is actually silly to read some of the "job advertisements" here - you have to be Everything - good at talking, good with people, but also very very clever, and very technical, and lots of experience. Almost like they are trying to cross breed a salesman with a very technical guy.
@@dirkmoolman you and the author of this comment are so right!
Those people who are expecting a lot of various strengths in one individual are woefully ignorant of different personality types, love languages, gender wiring differences (not biases), VAK learning styles, and finally, multiple intelligences!
It limits their ability to maximize productivity in their own companies due to their inability to hire the best possible people for specific aspects of the business. ❤️
Dr. Grandin, I stumbled across your TedTalk a few years ago. You were talking about cattle shoots. I saw what I was missing all these years. She is just like you!!. My 39 year old daughter was diagnosed with attention deficit without hyper activity in second grade. When I heard you I saw my daughter. I called her and told her to go back and get diagnosed. She was diagnosed with autism. Aspergers. Thank you for sharing your story and rewriting my daugher's story.
To be different in a common social society, is hard..... The difficulty comes at first from simply wanting and even wishing to be like everyone else. Then after how ever long it takes, you begin the hard individual and very personal inner journey towards... Acceptance *. Then hopefully you emerge comprehending, who and what... You... Are.... Then you know,.... Life begins*
I was diagnosed at age 55, and I cried tears of joy, realizing that I wasn't broken, I was just different. I'm what used to be called Asperger's. Early verbal skills and a voracious reader. So socially inept I scheduled a needed tonsillectomy to coincide with my senior prom so I would have an excuse for not going. My daughter is also on the spectrum but opposite Dr Grandin in that she has aphantasia and can't visualize. Yet she somehow picked up on my love for electronics and now builds high end ribbon mics.
Dr Grandin is an absolute gift to the world. In this video she made me realize I need to work on my resume. It's too historical and conversational. For those on the spectrum, embrace your uniqueness. I've spent 40 years as a programmer and I am now writing a book on the subject. My autism is my superpower.
I’m pretty sure I’m autistic, but I’m not sure I’ll pursue a diagnosis. I can totally relate to the things temple says. She’s a really smart woman. I love how she talks about how we need diversity of thought, problem solving, etc.

I agree about pursuing a diagnosis.
Not everyone is confidently convinced they need one.
I have a friend who thinks he may be on the spectrum but is afraid the doctors will push him onto medications. He is 71 and only since he has read up a lot about Autism on the internet and knows some Autistic Persons, has he realised he may well be Autistic.
I understand his apprehension yet think he would probably understand better why he had such a difficult time in life fitting in with some situations he found himself in.
I think most everyone that questions "expert" opinions in today's society, is on the spectrum. I'm pretty sure I am on it. At times it seems that we're the only ones awake!
I will never forget that I met this incredible woman, God bless Temple Grandin!
I began to think "what is this even about" because she was sort of all over the place, then I realised I didn't really care about that cause everything she said was really interesting
This is literally the definition of me that my friends give me. I know this comment was a year ago, but it's soothing to know in a rather backwards way that my conversational info dumps are seen as interesting maybe :)
@@chingalingaling "Conversational Info Dumps"!! may I use that? (sounds better than my "Verbal Diarrhea")
She's an autistic scientist who has her Doctorate who advocates for people with Autism. She was talking about her life as an Autistic person.
Our conversation is all over the place due to our thinking patterns which, like dominoes, will quickly knock on to the next thought which can be relatively linked to the previous thought but not always in a logical sequence to the listener. We add lots of relevant verbal extras that would be inserted into brackets in written communication, but makes verbal communication drawn out.
Yeah I'm 26 minutes in & struggling to follow her. I have adhd & autism & I'm a big fan of talking all over the place but this is not what I expected from an organised talk lol. If I knew what the actual topic was I'd be better able to follow all her digressions. I'm still chuckling away & watching though. She's very engaging.
She blows me away every time!
Temple is one of the most significant figures in animal ethics and ethology. Get to know her work if you dont already.
I loved the movie. It gave me such an insight on how to raise my autistic daughter. She was diagnosed at age 4 with a score of 18 on the aspberger syndrome. Because of Dr. Grand in I didn't allow her to. Just rock back and forth in the corner just stemming all day. I make her help with little things. I try to keep her constructively busy
You’re awesome!! Stay on it hun!! My old man tortured & tormented me in so many different ways it’s a breath of fresh air to know you did what you did for your own kids!
I am sure you are doing a great job, Kimberly! Loving a child unconditionally and allowing them to develop in their own pace, but challenging them too is what great parents do. You are one of them :)
What movie
So funny. I'm 32 years old and I get in to situations in professional settings where internally I sound just like what she's saying here.. "You just don't DO things like that, because you look like an 8 year old!" I think we've all felt that way about our coworkers at one point or another!
Shes my role model!!!! Shes funnier than I thought...I like that she doesn't care what people think about her
Cant believe this was a talk 9 years ago. Im in 2023 and it was very relevant to life now
there was a day when I asked myself the question "is it possible that others think another way than I do and could it be possible that I train my mind to think different?" - After a few sleepless nights I got into this topic... Now I know it isn't possible that another person thinks the same way I do so I currently think of how people can accurately express what they think exactly while not totally getting out of context for others.
towards the end where she said she went into depression for six months over a failed design of hers. this hit home hard. Its good to know I'm not the only one who takes my own failures to heart and to the depths that my failures eat at me. Bravo Dr. Grandin!
That's common for many people, neurotypical and neurodiverse. ❤️
The original concept of autism was of a readily recognized developmental disorder [either linked to genes or acquired] that comes with impaired intelligence and disturbed behavior.
This has now been vastly extended to include variants of normality, that in some cases are in fact assets to the person, rather than aspects of a disorder.
I question the validity of the autism spectrum. Phenomenological trait similarities are by no means pointers to underlying consistent and covariant genetic similarities.
We don't even know if we're talking about basically the same thing when comparing a person with actual autism vs a supposedly high functioning person on the «autistic spectrum» [whatever that means].
Words are supposed to have meaning, and the idea of a spectrum in the case of autism removes the basic concept of an illness from those who actually need our protection and help.
Similar things are currently also happening to hyperkinetic disorder / ADD and Bipolar Affective Disorder. If you've ever encountered a person in a sustained manic state you know that «cyclothymia» has nothing whatsoever to do with the original concept of Bipolar Disorder -- now known as Type 1.
Also: Type 1 BPAD is readily treated with medication, whereas cyclothymia and type 2 are not. And this alone may point to vast differences in the underlying physiological aetiology of the two «disorders.»
Life is more complex than labels being applied willy-nilly to things that we don't even begin to understand thoroughly.
'If you wanna kids to doing interesting stuff your gonna have to SHOW 'EM interesting stuff' - Dr. Temple Grandin
Temple's heart and mind are pure. "We gotta get back to doing real things in this country." She is very wise. There is a price to be paid for how we are educating our kids. Convenience is not always the wisest choice. Greed in corporate America purchasing items made in other countries has taken away the value of "Made In America." Temple is a genuine American. God bless her.
What has American got to do with it?
Dr. Temple would still be herself if she had been from Timuktoo, Antarctic, the Moon.
We are not necessarily shaped by where we live but by our inner experiences of being cared for lovingly, nurtured, having good resources at our disposal, good moral standards.
I am sick of the adulating 'we are Americans' and lick our flag attitude, or we are this Class; this age, sex, religion, race etc etc
Labels are abhorrent because they are stifling, imprisoning, restrictive, non creative, boring, and worst of all
discriminatory
Sorry, but I had to say it
Fasinating lady, I have learned so much from her. I recognize many characteristics now in one of my brothers who is now past who had all these talents and skills but was totally sad and withdrawn. he ended up be coming a alcoholic. What a waste of such a smart guy with no one who understood him.
Learning that I have autistic traits helped me understand why my last job was so tough.
I love this, we need ALL types of brains for our society
Tho' Asperger's brains are especially useful; the scientists, artists, musicians, inventors, Marilyn Monroe & Marie Curie; we'd be in a cultural vacuum without them ;)
I have aspergers, I think in words.
Only one question, it ended too soon, but I'd have to thank her for giving us another talk like this for free.
Thank you for making these video available on RUclips.
I’m so grateful for being able to access these videos of Temple Grandins’ public talks. It’s been quite beneficial in helping me understand things I have been trying to figure out. What a great resource & inspiration !! Thank you !!
I saw Dr Grandin at a bookstore in Sacramento. I was amazed at the audience- it was clear many felt they could relate to her story, except their questions revealed they wanted her to relate back. So all those who felt a resonance with the Dr were not like the Dr since they wanted to relate, and she was not interested if I understood her presentation. I approached her at the end, told her what I perceived, and asked, are you aware people want to relate with you? She said no, that’s exactly what is not on her radar, relatedness with people is not a thing for her. So now I wonder if what I observed in the audience was some kind of social way to “reign in” someone too far out on the emotional tangent, something that happens in the tribe but not on a conscious level.
Thank you for saying to her, “Are you aware people want to relate to you”? and then telling us her reply. I see now that the trait that puzzled me about her was a slightly stiff physical bearing. Now I understand. Thanks.
Happy Birthday 73rd Birthday, Temple Grandin.
The longer I watch Dr. Grandin speak the more I'm inclined to believe Richard Feyman shared a duplex with this woman on Autism Drive.
I know exactly what she is speaking about there at 12:27 - when I was in Jr and Senior High School I was in excellerated reading and I could get an A on my report card in English but at the same time I would get an F in math.
I would like to commend Dr Temple Grandin on all of her hard work and research on animals and autism. Blessing to humanity.
God this entire talk is amazingly insightful....
Temple Grandin is an inspiration to women and people with developmental disabilities.She is outstanding period.
I have mild autism. It's always great to hear stories from others on the spectrum.
No words. Just free. Gratitude, despite the stigma. If only the fear and anger wasn't so prevalent, perhaps those who fall within the "touch of autism" area of the spectrum wouldn't be so afraid to come forward and speak about their ASD. Not even Steve Jobs. :-(
Social stigmas based in ignorant fear are the worst part of humanity.
As bad as social stigmas are, they didn't cause the great wars. Worship of authority (particularly in the form of government) is the greater evil.
@@manlyadvice1789 and religions
@@paulhand5015 Religion is just another kind of government.
Temple Grandin you are a remarkable woman! Your teaching is for absolutely everyone, Autistic or not...I love listening to you! I saw you one time at my local college and you were amazing. If I get another chance to see you speak again I will jump at the chance. Thank you so much for sharing your life, your thoughts, your questions, and your solutions ❤
She is fantastic and our world Needs different types of people . if we dont have that then its hard to
See what positives and successes we can achieve.
As in different and wonderful minds.
I don't have any idea if i'm autistic but I do know that I am a total visual thinker.. Like Temple, I SEE solutions. It's frustrating for me that other people can't do what I do....makes it hard to communicate sometimes... But it's neat to be able to solve problems 'in my head'....Thank you Temple for showing this to me.
I know a 60yr/. old Ophthalmologist who has HF Autism...he's awesome!
and I am in the "Artist Box".......we are both wired differently :)
I'm good at maths, music and reading. I also very visual and can picture things functioning. I'm really good at fixing things. Really really good at it. I am very hands on. I definitely suffer in my social development. I'm naive af and struggle to understand social norms. I'm constantly offending people without meaning to and I'm always unaware of the impression I give people.
so, you are a very special person! embrace your "awkwardness" as it makes you YOU! It's not like you don't fit the world; it's more like the others don't fit you
@@kadzunk63 Well you've got to stick to and learn the rules like Grandin says, but also embrace your difference. So if you don't fit in, learn the rules :)

I'm the third autistic geek stuck in a basement (still not) getting social security for playing video games. I don't want to be. I want to make shit. I hate doing nothing but video games all day.
Here's the problem. For a variety of reasons nothing but programming is a feasible option for me, but I can't learn programming and I think I have identified the issue as the teachers I find. No tutorial online is usable or gets to the point and if I follow along and there's an error on my end they never taught me WHY everything works so I can't troubleshoot it myself and my journey ends there. This has happened in every programming endeavor I have pursued.
I can't go to some school to do it because that costs money and if I got someone to pay for it I know I'd get the same issue and I have had an atrocious experience with American schooling. To put it in perspective, knowing full well what the Gulag is and what they did, if I was forced to choose between returning to an American school and being sent to the Russian Gulag I would choose the Gulag.
In other words, I'm stuck. I don't wanna be stuck and I want pathways out, but my parents are inept and neglectful, online searching doesn't help and I have no connections that can help me out of my rut.
Help?
We watched the movie in Ag class that's the exact moment when I realized why everyone has always felt different to me I choked back tears the entire time
she is such an inspiration. Tempel has inspired me
I have the same visual thinking process. It's fascinating as I think she understands my own brain better then I do. haha
I'm an African American man, and the movie and biography on her life blew me away, different but a brilliant mind, I'm a fan of Temple Griffin.
Great presentation!! It's a perfect blueprint for employee development regarding specified positions, work ethics, and thinking patterns in regards to suitable areas of employment per worker. Excellent informative video Dr. Grandin!!
I love Temple Grandin! Such a great woman.
She’s a blessing!!!! Amazing woman.
I have Asperger’s syndrome and I used to make fake words to write sentences in first grade. I love animals, especially social species.
My husband and children have adhd. All different levels and no tolerance with each other. It would be great to learn how to get them to deal more productively with each other.
Sell your work rather than yourself. Just here in the early part of your talk I’ve found something to offer my daughter. Hurrah and thank you!
She's so wonderful. This is an old video, but it was so fantastic.
Thanks for speaking Temple Grandin.
I adore this woman.
24.02 this is probably the most important thing that Engineers and businesses need to know in providing safety. I totally agree with this.
That is a fantastic shirt and tie.
She has helped me so much I too and I am a visual thinker spacial thinker, but also visual object, not really verbal thinking at all. Discovered autistic less than a month ago, I want to learn computer programming so bad, computers are my thing. I don't generalize at all, math in school was terrible for me, and still is. I remember my dad showed me a way that worked, but like she said I was told I have to show my work and to this day I have no clue what he showed me. And I don't even know my times tables, which really sucks as I have a very vivid video of my dad teaching me while I was at his desk in his bedroom which is weird because I wasn't allowed in there. But if I could draw I could recreate the scene today how it looked back then.
I saw Dr Temple talking to Jordan Peterson. I am so impressed and love listening to her.
Lots of positive, concrete advice for parents. Thanks!
I have Autism but I dont have alot of relatives in the technical field other then my Grandpa who a carpenter, so he and I are the only technical people in my family it funny how much technical stuff just makes sense to me where things of social interaction does not
social skills are sooooo boring!!
axion Could be that of everything made technical had a austism person involved > in its design, testing & development, & usability. This is why it makes sense to you, and me.
I admire you and really hope that my child finds a wisdom, strength and courage in his life, just like you have. Thank you for existing to show us that there is light and hope, at the end of that tunnel.
Ditto. I couldn't have said it better myself.
The video game players collecting SSI , so true. My son was one of the high functioning suck in a class where he just repeated the same work over an over . I hope and pray some ppl listen and understand what she is talking about, so we do throw away these unique brain thinking resources .
Fly Robin I'm sorry, I have autism and I don't have any special interests (other than a mild interest in astrology, and world cultures) and neither do I follow any routines. What people like Temple Grandin don't cover, is that the symptoms of autism change once an autistic is put on meds, like what happened to me.
@@aditya6201 I hope the meds also help with the sensory sensitivities and social awkwardness. If not, it sounds like the meds only got rid of the good parts of autism.
@@manlyadvice1789 It god rid of some of my sensory sensitivities and anxiety..
@@aditya6201 Good to hear.
Love her so much. When my daughter is old enough, I can't wait to see her mind blown when she finds out how incredible Dr Grandin is. Plus I love her dress sense.
I have autism as well and this is a phenomenal video. Thank you
❤❤❤Thank you Temple!! My grandfather went to the same college you were in too❤❤❤❤I hope to meet you someday❤❤❤❤❤
I've wondered being a certain personality type on the MBTI. If that personality type is connected to the spectrum. INFJ that is, but we are very social, and sometimes can be disconnected. Abstract but think in patterns also. The thinking in pictures part I can't relate to also. Weird! My Mother's Father had bipolar disorder, and she is more towards the Creative side, so are her 2 siblings. This fact is very insightful now that I think about it. Amazing! I wouldn't have put 2 and 2 together. Now that she pointed it out I can think of many examples of bipolar parents with Creative leaning children.
I remember this lady, she helped to build a type of cattle pen to help make it easier to give cattle immune shots.
Good to know these things. Thank you.
Great entertaining, lighthearted and educational presentation...! *archiving*
Temple Grandin for Secretary of Education!
58.4o now THIS explains detailed thinking! very interresting story .
I remember seeing this design when you created it, and I was simply amazed 😊
Thank you educating so many you give hope and better lives thank you
I think in pictures and have strong pattern recognition. Zero friends. Am 32. Much more comfortable alone or with a well acquainted animal.
Amen. Thank you ❤
I just watched her movie, and now I 'm here to see how brilliant she is. woow, mostly what she said it's in movie
I had to look her up after hearing about her on Star Talk podcast. She's amazing.
+Joe Jones You've got to watch the movie www.imdb.com/title/tt1278469/?ref_=nv_sr_1 It's the first time I heard of her, and since then she's my hero, read her books, listen to her talks
The movie made about her years ago was EXCELLENT.
I am on the spectrum...when I was in elementary school I was in a gifted program. The educators encouraged us to use short cuts..taught short cuts. Later I had trouble showing my work...I could always get the answer buy they wanted it in the steps taught to everybody else.
Just a squinting my eyes can change Not what I think about but how I think about it
I believe that it has something to do with the pupils being able to Adjust at will to view things at multiple angles. Some people swint their eyes, and some people have trained themselves to do it without squinting.
I feel like there is virtually nothing that my mind can't put together, it's simply a matter of dedication or fear of processing it, light can influence that. In my autistic mind it's easy to see that light creates mater in every aspect in this universe, we have a fear of realizing that. When we step outside of this particular box the there is no problem that cant be solved. We dont try, we just pay close attention to an Idea and literally watch it grow.
Once you're outside that Room you don't have to wait for them to grow , they just appear,
I hope every single person with autism reads this, that is the key to unlocking the answer to every question that drives you
Excellent 👍
Finally, someone mentioned the generators at Fukushima. I immediately noticed that they had tall buildings and they could have easily designed the building with generators on the roof. So why didn't they?
love your work
Thinking can be done without words OR pictures. In fact most brilliant breakthroughs were likely done with just such thought.
Three- to five-year-old autistic children are less likely to exhibit social understanding, approach others spontaneously, imitate and respond to emotions, communicate nonverbally, and take turns with others. However, they do form attachments to their primary caregivers. Thank you for sharing this so much!
47.ff sell your work not yourself! is so not what they teach you nowadays ... .I like that a lot!
I love this lady !!!
Love this lady and video
Very informative and enjoyable talk.
This lady should be in show biz
My mind works exactly like this.. Visual and highly specific. Sadly I cannot draw. I've always had luck describing things to those with the skill to draw. Same for humming & beatboxing music. ZERO math skills, except statistics which I love, until I got my Private pilot's license. With an real world application calculating weight and balance for a Cessna and that math light finally went on. I cannot learn in abstract.. 100% MSMD /Monkey see Monkey do = Flying airplanes? SUPER E A S Y! I've often been called a walking google. By my late 30s early 40's I masked so well people were incredulous at being told I was Autistic... Later on a TBI ripped away all that ability.. Recovered, 2nd TBI. GAVE UP MASKING! Aaaannnd... WOW BRAIN POWER!!!! I gave up the use of my "Human Social Behavior Program" taking up all my mental power and memory.... Have managed to hummm/beatbox/write lyrics for 5 albums worth of music. My wife Angela? She is the visual spacial artist and mathematician... And the most inconceivable GENIUS in the kitchen. She should be writing cookbooks and selling her AMAZING Watercolors. Angela would spend ENDLESSS HOURS making tiny grids on and etch-a-sketch. I got her a pocket one to have in class @ Portland State. Public school was and inconceivable nightmare.. Sacramento City college figured it out, got some commendations = 4.0 2x president's list. I could NEVER finish. Couldn't deal with the indoctrination and crap you must take to be "well rounded".. ugh... Bless you Dr. G!
Oh yes, Skills for job after 12 years old, an other thing that Maria Montessori said too... except it must be adapte of the age of the body, and it's not the case in France, in some jobs learned in special schools : ot much hard works between 14 and 18... it's a shame... and the fact is that doctors argue against it... For strong work you have to finish your growing up! Thanks, from France...
So brave and amazing...and humble!
I think in pictures :) fascinating how people think differently
I have no concept of what visual thinking is like, I literally can not visually imagine ANYTHING. When you tell me to think about "church steeple" I think "What about it?". I don't know how to explain my thinking process but I was a music and mathematical 'prodigy' when I was younger so that inclines me to believe I'm the pattern mathematical thinking.
What is it like to thinking while looking at something, how does that work? Where do you see your thoughts relative to the actual visual stimuli your eyes are receiving?? Is it just pictures laid across your field of vision or what?
I'm no austistic, never had a speech delay in my life but I never got along with anyone and was a loner all my life and still am. My dad just think I'm a weirdo, if that makes any sense to you guys at all.
