Tune in for this unusual presentation on autism by someone with autism. Animal Science professor Temple Grandin, who designs livestock handling facilities, discusses the value of early intervention in autism, and about medications. Other topics include her sensory sensitivities and how she manages them, how she and other autistic people think, and social relationships and careers. Series: “MIND Institute Lecture Series on Neurodevelopmental Disorders” [6/2007] [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 12868]
@000Winter000 I agree!!!
I have Asperger Syndrome!! I was going to meet her, except the seats were going fast!! Never had the chance!!!
Really good talk. This helped me with my science project
@TheKuroky Don’t you mean psychology? Philosophy is a Greek word meaning “love of knowledge.”
good talk
A question that I have if anyone can help me is this. Dr. Grandin emphisizes the importance of early intervention, what I need to know is what are ways I can repair or cope with the consequences of the neglect and abuse I expeirenced throughout my life and what skills should I be learning? All my life I have felt like an alien and mostly people have told me to just get over it, everyone has problems.
My best freind that is Autistic and I feel better every time I see her.
She`s ignored by almost everyone at school, but she`s smarter than just about everyone there.
This is the talk that made me certain that philosophy is really useless!!
my sister has autism, her writing isnt the greatest, but she draws what she’s feeling, its like every drawing she does is her way of writing in a diary
OMG! now my son’s finger flicking makes sense to me.
her mother never gave up hope, god bless her mom, and temple. you are a inspirationtion to me. my son was dxed with pdd-nos. we have alot in common:)
Temple Grandin is one of living art of GOD. amazing artwork
Wow. Just, wow
@hyperbolaisagraph True but I’m suing them 300 dollars
@golcynski You’re right, toxic stuff does damage the brain.
But the problem with your assertion is that the amount of ethylmercury isn’t enough to do harm. Even if it was, there’s still no connection with autism. The respective symptoms and neuroanatomy of people with mercury poisoning and those with autism are not similar. There’s no debate among the scientists.
Also, thimerosal was phased out from vaccines anyway just as a precautionary measure, and autism diagnosis rates haven’t gone down.
@KatyPerryandKeshaFan No you don’t. There’s absolutely no connection between vaccination and autism. The scientific research reflects that fact.
Spare the doctors and the vaccines, they’re not responsible for your autism.
@george1punk2 Me too I have autism from the vaccine fuck those doctors I hope they get sued.
@JoyceLynne1 I have autism from the vaccine I was non-autistic so I can smoke pot and get drunk, be more outgoing and do interesting stuff that normal kids do when I mean normal popular kids.

Temple Grandin is a fascinating individual. It makes me wonder how many potentially brilliant, high-achieving people are out there that received poor support in their early development.
I can imagine that one day we may evolve (or be altered by genetic means) to an ideal point where our minds are able to work with the these higher performing verbal, visual, or auditory cababilities associated with certain autism cases without the same side effects such as stress and social problems.
Ty so much for this I have a 2yo girl and a 4 yo boy both with autism, this will help so much. Thank you
@000Winter000 Autistic people are exactly that, PEOPLE. Some people are douchebags, some people are saints. Some autistic people are raging assholes, some autistic people are great people. Having a disability of any stripe does not automatically turn someone into an introspective, deep person, and it certainly doesn’t mean they’re automatically worthy of praise and adoration. Temple Grandin is an outstanding woman, but it’s not because autism solely defines who she is.
@000Winter000 Not all people appreciate the same things. I love this video as well, but to say “Anyone who doesn’t appreciate this is probably empty inside” seems to be awfully judgemental: just the opposite of the quality you praise in others. Odd, no?
i just watched her movie on HBO loved it
I have Asperger’s Syndrome and was diagnosed a month ago. I am very proud of my abilities with this condition. Dr. Grandin is amazing as well as Rudy Simone. They both are great inspirations to me. Joyce
