Temple grandin s family proposal
•
Thank you so much Dr. Grandin for joining us today. We have a lot of questions to ask so we’ll get right into it.
How was your experience in schooling?
Well, I had severe autistic symptoms. I had some very good speech teachers and early intervention teachers when I was in elementary school. I can't emphasize enough how important good teachers are , they really do make all the difference in the world. Another thing is my mother always encouraged my abilities. I was good at art and that was always encouraged so I use that as the basis of my business.

No two people with autism are the same; its precise form or expression is different in every case. Moreover, there may be a most intricate (and potentially creative) interaction between the autistic traits and the other qualities of the individual. So, while a single glance may suffice for clinical diagnosis, if we hope to understand the autistic individual, nothing less than a total biography will do. My own first experience with the autistic was in a grim ward in a state hospital in the mid-sixties. Many of these patients, perhaps a majority, were also retarded; many had seizures; many had violent self-
Temple Grandin Wants Kids with Autism to Live Life to the Fullest
As a psychologist, I ran into lots of spectrum teens and young adults who were “stuck.” Even if they were higher functioning, verbal, and made it through high school, they didn’t have the basic skills necessary for the next stage of life.
