One of the things Ms. Grandin always brings up is the way her parents, when first receiving the autism diagnosis, straightaway began tutoring and helping her. Playing 'sharing games" so that she would be able to connect socially - which is something autistic people often have trouble with. They understood and encouraged the many things she was still able to do, and she has grown into an articulate, involved, engaged, extremely intelligent woman. Her parents began it....
I wasn't diagnosed until 35 and I also grew up into an engaged, intelligent, articulate woman. I still have problems connecting though and I bet she also does. Autism isn't cured. we just learn to mask and blend in so we aren't bullies. Cure bullying, That can be changed.
Yes. Her parents refused to accept what “they” said but worked for and achieved for their little girl what “they” said was impossible. Dr. Grandlin is a MAJOR BLESSING TO SO MANY all these years later!
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Blake Archie thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
The auditory sensitivity was debilitating when I was a kid. When I was 11 my father bought me a dirt bike, and I was terrified of it, almost moved to tears, because it made very loud noise. I could not go to movie theaters for the same reason. Now I'm 25 and I've weirdly leaned into the fear of noise, falling in love with loud engines and other intense and fascinating things. I don't resent my parents one bit for not understanding me, I'm just glad that science, research, and people with pure hearts like Temple are constantly propelling us forwards in our knowledge and understanding.
gohonda boscohonda Probably an effortful listener, that's how you learn; but being confident enough in your thought process to share with other brains is a muscle work on.
Temple, I hope you can see this... I am so grateful to know that you exist as a person, giving me hope and answers that make so much sense and feel empowering for the future of my own. Thank you.
I really like the way that she thinks. She is very smart and talented and she has helped so much when it comes to helping children with autism. My daughter is 4 and has aspergers and Temple has helped her through ABA therapy and of course the squeeze machine. My daughter has really come out of her shell because of this therapy. I don't know about some of you all who have had some pretty rude comments to say about this woman, but I am thankful for what she has done with the autism community. In fact I'm hoping to personally meet her so that my daughter and I can personally thank her:)
I enjoyed this lecture on Austim. I had never experienced an adult discussing valuable experiences about managing life as an adult and other experiences encountered as a child.
This was TREMENDOUS! I've always said that I can't do something that I don't understand completely. Dr. Grandin spoke about ASD learning starting with memorization and scripting. Once there is a large enough body of knowledge relating to a subject, then the synthesis and processing and creative processes can proceed. Awesome! (Big load off of my shoulders!)
She gives hope, confidence and strength to a mother like me who had once lost hope after knowing my child suffers from PDD. A million thanks to you maam.
Recently, I found that I am on the spectrum of Autism... I have been studying Ms. Grands lecture for a while and I come to find that I have had many personal questions answered... I thank Ms. Grand for her expertise on Autism spectrum disorder...
There are so many strategies and therapeutic techniques we can use to make a positive difference for people with autism. This video is amazing and really helps us understand more about this disability. I wish there was more training for school professionals so we could better meet the needs of students with autism.
As a classic computer programmer asper, and later physician, now retired, I must give the highest accolades to Temple's presentation. She covers much ground with surprise and details at every turn. What memories her talk evokes. Frenetic but only because she has so much to say. End comment.
I've never been been told I'm "Autistic" but my son has... they wonder why he has problems in class, they are gonna get a specialest to find out why he does what he does...my mom and I came in his class, the lights almost made me barf, the air exsaust made vibrations that made me feel like I was gonna fall, and the hum and buzz from all the electronics in the classroom, OMG! I can't believe they could have not heard or feel it!
Very helpful, Im a caregiver working with a variety of disabled people, 2 x I work with everyday have severe autism, wondered why they did certain things or lacked in certain areas. Greatly heightened my awareness of life from their perspective.
Ms Grandin, my family doctor (Australia) prescribed Epilim to me at 3 or 4 years, when I had an isolated Grand Mall seizure event. Two or so years later, my parents were glad to wean me from them, and I haven't had another event since then. Now 46, I have been experiencing Migraine headaches (sinus related, I think. Around eyes and temple involvement. Nausea and aura, usually activated by fluorescent light) so Ive been taking Sandomigran to avoid them. Finally worked out triggers, including air con on high setting. Now need tablets less to not at all.
Kiki Roundbottom Gee isn't she. That's nice, this is from a college or something not a clip someone, so there's no harm in giving that like button a push. Go ahead tap the 3 dots by your comment and don't edit, cuz your grammar out ways the subsance.
My husband was privileged to meet Dr Grandin last month at Michigan State University, where she held a small group clinic on animal husbandry issues. Anthony found her fascinating, kind and very savvy on her subject. It is worth hearing her out on the neurological condition she lives with.
She is right. I think the same that so much research is put into social and communication but not sensory. I feel sensory is the root problem of social n communication.
I didn't realize I had Asperger's till recently, I am now 32.. though all my life I have known each and every problem that I have had, and I have spent a lot of time and effort over the years taking on these problems to improve my self. I could be wrong though for the sensory part, I think it's due to the sinuses, least for me. There is something different with the sinuses that normal people do not have. This would explain the sensory effecting the ears and eyes. I have also been checked out many times at hospitals where cat scans and other types of scans were taken, nothing out of the ordinary ever showed up, except for a very bad sinus infection. This might be different for everyone though, only I think this should be looked into and researched cause there seems to be a link there.
@@DJxSGGxNeo I have chronic sinus. Very painful throughout the year. I started to do netipot which helped but sinus pressure was always there. Then I found out about putting olive oil in nose. I started to put olive oil with a dropper. This helped a lot with mucus drainage and now I have no sinus pressure. My nasal breathing improved. I haven’t done netipot in a while. Olive oil does irritate the throat a bit if you end up putting a little too much but it’s not hamnful and with frequent use you don’t feel the irritation. It should be extra virgin olive oil. I was recommended surgery which I dreaded.
@@marianl3447 Sorry, saw your message now. Take the dropper up as far as you are comfortable. I usually feel my nasal cavity. Angle the dropper up wards and sideways so oil goes in well. In the beginning you will feel slight burning of oil in nasal and in your throat but with consistency this will not happen ( my experience ). Try 2-4 times a day. Hope I explained well. Feel free to ask more questions.
This is so me. I have sensory Processing disorder with my ASD level 2. Late diagnosis, no support. No friends. I now just gotten support this year. A case worker and a psychologist at the moment
My special interest has become Temple Grandin. I'm so impressed by her attitude/work ethic. She repeats her insightful observations over and over again for her audiences over the decades on autism and animal behavior, and keeps doing her work even now at this age, despite the fact that there are so many who don't get it (it would seem). For me, all roads in researching the root cause of autoimmune hypothyroidism and eventually ASD in adults (specifically women) have led to Temple. Thank goodness for these video uploads that exist ... these resources are gold dust ... may they always live on. Would love to meet her in person. Have bought her recently (Oct 2022) book and so excited for its arrival.
And it took me 37 years but I figured out a way to understand religion for myself. Before I lacked all the correlations. Really really hard to explain linearly. The only way to do that is the have large discussions in linear segments. Also I figured out that we attach emotions as a tool for memory. If any subject isn't chewed to the bone, we attach an emotion to it. We Need to constantly clean up clutter and pack things away where we don't have to keep pulling up the memory they can be logged deep into our subconscious The anxiety is created from internal clutter is unbearable. Autism is like living in the quantum world, all the rules apply. I have chewed that thought down. If you would like to talk, I would be happy to share.
Just watched the video. He is exactly like my grandson, Wyatt who is 5 now. I have slowed my life down to see things in his world his way. Its such a unique experience, and I see things in a new way. I pay attention now, he analyses everything. I think children with HFA are so beautiful and so smart, they are beyond the norm. We fight for everything he needs, you have to. We are their voice. Without this child, my life would have been mundane and ordinary.
I dont think I qualify as autistic but I do share some of these traits. What really hit home was school, for me, a nightmare. To try and constantly be as invisible as possible, looking back many years later, destroyed me completely. To be different from pretty much everyone was as though I had gone from just being a kid then just been sent directly into a living nightmare. No words.
Thank you for posting this for us. I have a beautiful granddaughter who does not have a diagnosis at 5 years old but has so many autistic characteristics. I am grateful for the insights that are plainly evident through Temple Grandin's presentation. I love her passion and apparent dedication in clearly expressing concerns for anyone who struggles with this disconnect in their brain.
Ms. Grandin, You are inspiring! Thank you for sharing your brilliance in understanding and knowing how to help others with Autism. I have a grandson who is under occupational and speech therapy weekly for possible autism. He is two years old. I have seen great strides in eye contact and showing more emotions with others. Thanks again for your insight and knowledge. I thank you for all your research and work.
Bravo to you and your mother! I love to hear about parents of children with Aspberger's and Autism who take the time to listen, talk, and work around and through what other's may believe is just too difficult or impossible. My son is an amazing person, and I honestly and fervently believe probably the best person I will ever meet in this world and he makes me so proud every single day!
Beautiful lecture. Those of us who went through our adults life without diagnosis and have accidentally found some of the coping mechanism the Dr has in the lecture.
I really like Temple Grandin, but honestly going through middleschool and highschool would have been social torture for me without video games. The only reason I had and still have friends is because of videogames, it gives me something to talk about and something to do with people. I wouldn't be able to have the social life I have today if I only played video games up to one hour a day.
Agreed. Video games gave me a great escape when I needed a break from reality, they helped me develop skills with hand-eye coordination, they introduced me to a lot of characters I still love, they gave me inspiration for artwork, and they helped me meet friends who I love very much. It's probably a side effect of the video being 14 years old, but I feel the anti-video game stance she has aged very poorly.
she is an amazing speaker!! i am in my school's forensic team for 3 years and i've never heard anything like this!! its incredible!!! i wish i could meet her!
Temple, thank you so much for your advocacy and sharing your story. My son is a child with Autism and you have given me so much insight into his world. Thank you!
This woman truly has the ability to express and explain through her own highly educated mind and soul, about the people who live through and experience autism. She's got brilliant metaphors, gestures and phenomenal thoughts on how people can improve themselves mentally... Temple Grandin might have experienced her own autism, but now she's able to finally help every single person in need. She is a miraculous human being. God bless her.
I have learned more information from Temple in these videos than any other Dr. or website out there! Thank you, this will really help me to cope and work with my son.
This is brilliant. Everyone needs to watch this to understand human interactions and themselves. I know someone who is just like her. Now I understand why she can't explain or teach what she can do. And I met someone else like that (an artist).
She is one of the most incredible people alive!!! Her mind is brilliant and Claire Daines did an amazing job playing her! What a brilliant mind she has :)
Yes, I experienced very mild visual-spatial difficulties, due also to being born with a very mild Cerebral Palsy. I'd have benefitted greatly with a note-taker at school, as looking at the board and copying notes was very time-consuming for me. I cannot stand going in to department stores like Target, and used to tell my mum I could 'play' with light when I was very young. I would make 'clouds' and see 'auras' around people. I can remember a location by the okay of light in the place, and when my parents divorced, I always tried to replicate the play of light and atmosphere of my childhood bedroom at home into my new bedroom
In every volunteer role Ive been in, I make a clear and step by step list of the role to help the next person out. I hope it's been helpful, as I would have liked a list just like it
About the Irlen lenses, my optician places a blue tint on mine, and I believe this really helps my concentration. Not sure about the effectiveness in reality, but I do believe they have improved my productivity. Also, kinesthetic activities and games are fun for all the children in your early years class, they help with concentration - "con-cen-tra-tion! Concentration! Ready-begin" clicks or claps is a great reminder you can use in class. We use these firm cushions with a textured seat for young children who need help focussing on task. The students use them on the floor, or even on their chairs. A piece of carpet mat can replace this...make sure your child chooses the mat he or she will like the feel of. The feeling helps them to be present,and this technique is very effective for 4-6 year olds
So clear and candid and all the things Temple said about her early years with Autism, I recognize in my daughter. Thank you so much Temple... I now know what my baby is facing and am better able to help her. Thank you so much!
She's so helpful. I felt teary when she talked about some childhood things. I remember agonizing over things when I was young and undiagnosed. Thank you for sharing.
Everything about her growing up and her thinking and actions, it's like she's reading my mind. I'm not autistic but I swear me and her have alot in common
Rock on lady! I am so impressed with her. She is good at what she does and she does it without all of the social bs. I don't think she smiled even once and it didn't matter at all. Wow!
How wonderful it is to have CZcams so that you can watch an awesome presentation like this in the comfort of my home. I tried to go to this presentation in my hometown, but it was sold out. Temple is a wonderful role model for all, but especially for the autism community!! Thank you! Joanna K-V A Is for Autism, F Is for Friend
I have learned so much from Dr. Grandin's speaches. My daughter has many of the struggles of Asberger's Syndrome but with her family, school support team of specialists and doctor's I know she will go far. Everyday I see something amazingly unique and feel blessed with every new acomplishment she makes.
Temple, You are indeed a great person. Temple Grandin is one of my favorite movies of all time. I have autism as well. I have been in similar situations you have been in. I am sure we would have great discussions when in it comes to autism.
I was not bad at algebra, but I was REALLY good at trig and geometry. I failed geometry in high school the first time through due to bullying by the students and teacher. I signed up again the next year with a different teacher, and sailed through. I'd have the homework done before we left class (teacher gave us the assignments 5 minutes before the end of class so we could ask questions). Trigonometry is absolutely essential for the fields electricity and electronics. Geometry teaches excellent logic concepts.
Temple is a wonderful person who has been very helpful in offering suggestions that have helped us in assisting our son with his emergence from the autism disorder. If you get the chance, go see her speak. She one of the most dynamic speakers I have had the opportunity to see.
Appreciate you so much. Have a grandson with Asperger's and it has been such a fascinating journey to get him ready for a successful life in the world.When he saw the movie of your life he instantly identified. Your practical approach coupled with research is most helpful. Tyhank you for sharing your experiences. It is helping us all so much. My grandson is well on his way to becoming a sucessful wildlife photographer and much of our journey was based on following your kind of approach.
I have high functioning autism and loved the this movie because I could relate. I was always more shy and reserved and I love animals and whenever I get anxiety or upset petting animals would always calm me down. I had bad temper tantrums and was very sensitive. I have overcome a lot of things but there are some areas I struggle in. I have always struggled with loud noises and socializing. I only get close to a few people. I am very sensitive to loud noises and get startled by loud noises.
The difficult thing about my high school..I came in, wanting to make friends, try out for everything...while, inside, I was a trembling mess...my school had ridiculously perfect standards for all its activities on offer ..from long distance running, to school musical; debating and public speaking, to library or office monitor. I failed at all of these things, and also struggled to make friends...by year 11, I was a library helper, but that was the only thing I achieved...the bullying intensified, as well, but at least I completed Year 12, and with exams on top of that. I didn't make it into the degree course I wanted. I would have benefitted from some one to one assistance, particularly in note-taking, with all the subjects which involved physical strength or fine motor dexterity, in the maths and sciences, and in social skill development. Otherwise, the staff did not understand why I excelled at some things, and struggled to keep up in other areas. My frequent trips to the bathroom - I had severe period problems, and a bad case of what was believed by my doctor to be Irritable Bowel - were strongly suspected to be caused by an intense case of nerves. My worst grades were in Art, where my creative ideas got me through, but my pencil skills failed me - and math. I had been in remedial math all through primary, and had real difficulty catching on to long and short division, for example. I couldn't memorise the formula, and never knew how to ask, or what to say to get the help I needed. I was unable to handle a car or a hammer, due to my tiny stature, and the English teacher thought I excelled at reading at a high level, but my comprehension, literacy and grammar skills were way below grade. School was a nightmare, but I fulfilled my passions after completing it and passing out of high school - joining every theatre group imaginable, working with radio for the blind, assisting with children's learning at a church, volunteering here there and everywhere. Those experiences saved me
I have found that what works best for me in controlling the debilitating anxiety (in addition to several other things, including problems with memory and focus), is to maintain a 100% plant based diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, eliminating all refined carbohydrates and other processed foods (i.e., no artificial coloring, flavoring, preservatives, etc.), adding freshly ground raw flax seeds and/or chia seeds and/or walnuts to my meals for the Omega-3s, and adding daily probiotics (I take Klaire Labs Ther-Biotic powder dissolved in water). Also, I find it essential to go for several walks a day outside in the sunshine, preferably 3 times per day for at least 15-20 minutes at a time (or longer, if possible). Additionally, because I have the MTHFR gene mutation (heterozygous C677T), which is very common for those on the autism spectrum, I have to get biweekly glutathione IV pushes with B complex added to address deficiencies in those areas. I also take methylated B12 supplements, and my multivitamins contain L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. I am also doing chelation therapy to eliminate toxic metals in my body. I didn't figure all of this out on my own, of course - I've been seeing a naturopath for the past 2 years, who has helped me to determine what my personal issues are and has treated me for those. I would highly recommend that everyone see a naturopath to help them find a treatment program that is tailored to their own needs.
Fascinating to hear someone with autism describing in such detail what it is going on in the autistic mind. It is so rare for them to be able to verbally express the roots of their behaviors and reactions. Grandin has connected the dots for me in so many ways in my relationship with my autistic son. Lots of "oh...that's why he does that!"
As a mother of a son who has ASD, she gives me hope. I can't watch the movie without crying, it showing at times how the world is to those with this condition.
Thank you so much for posting this video. My son, Jovan, is 12 and was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism a year ago. Before that he was mis-diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 4. I knew there was something more. I just wish there was more people helping in Vancouver, Wa.
Yes but Temple’s parents had NOBODY helping back then. They did not have professional clinical degrees but they got the help they could and did much of the work themselves.
Temple Grandin, I am thoroughly enjoying your lecture. I am a visual thinker, and I use colour to remind me about things. Yellow is getting up. A bright purple reminds me to be mindful. A deep green reminds me to get back to nature, and blue reminds me to cool down, and be myself.
You are right! She didn't smile and we sense she is someone we can trust. You are right she rocks; people rock whatever they are when they work hard believing in what they are. Each one of us is blessed with our special, customised ourselves-ness, I think. When we see an "extreme case" such as Mr. Einstein and Dr Grandin, we will be reminded of the resources we each must be abundantly given ʕ•̫͡•ʔʕ•̫͡•ʔ.
Excellent video, very engaging. She does an excellent job of explaining the different types of autism what we need to being focusing on for future research. Thank you Dr. Grandin
I've got some sensory problems to this day, and I'm 18. Temple Grandin is awesome in the sense that she's making things clear for people who don't understand sensory problems OR autism.
As someone with the assbergers(top rung of the spectrum) this is all me; I use it to connect with brute force but pouring ideas in the heads of others and using their mental source code to spit back a thought further along the process. The length I do this that depends on what I'm wondering why, when and how I can get the to engage, but overheating of both parties has been observed.
very great video and valuable information , i can't understand how can someone would dislike this video if you are not interested in the topic don't watch it ....but as a mom of autistic child this is very helpful
YES! And my daughter, who had headphones on, took them off to ask what I was watching as the “screechy music” went straight through to her nerve centre too! I has to fast forward it.
I have 2 children with Autism, and I only wish I had head her speak before now! She answers many questions that I have always had, and does so in such a simple way. The way she describes the Autistic mind, and reactions of a person with Autism is EXACTLY how my children are. It doesn't matter if you are a neurologist, psychiatrist , or psychologist.....I LIVE it everyday, and have for 11 years.....she is right on the money. She is amazing.
I love this woman and feel like she speaks my language. Some people (that are different types of thinkers), are extremely hard for me to understand, yet I can follow everything that she's saying.
My 3 year old has just recently been diagnosed on the autism spectrum and this and others like it have given me a glimpse of his world. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to live in his world when he has such difficulty in mine.
I've gotten the most pleasure from "grown-up" courses....from necessary courses like First Aid(needless to say, the comprehensive one, not the day block!) to Spanish language, which I've never been able to use over here, but love to read a great deal en Espanol. Never studied at University, because of fear of failure, but I hope, someday, to study early childhood development further, maybe even complete a teaching degree. I took theory in Childcare, but struggled to complete the final assessment ,- managing a room of children, and directing staff on what to do. That was difficult to do, because I had so many ideas, and little confidence to bring my ideas in to being. We were to concentrate of observing children, and setting up to meet the needs of each child. Staff feedback was that my plans were too complex, I was unable to manage time or other adults, and that my relationships and work with the children were excellent, but not good enough to become a teacher. I struggled to overcome each of those blows from the director of child care. I'd have been suited to library, but our local library had extremely high standards for staff. I'd have been considered 'too weird'. I attend all our local libraries regularly, just adore reading and book resources, but I don't feel confident with the adult people there. Tried working in a few of our bookshops, but seriously struggled with the money handling at every job, and there were specific guidelines for displaying books in an exacting way. This was a struggle. I've learned how to restore old books, which I do in my spare time
I felt the same way after watching her movie. I can't begin to explain what an affect she, and the movie had on me. I think you right about her being an angel of God. My friend's son is autistic and I'm definetely going to have her watch this movie. Temple is an inspiration to all!!!
We just watched HBO's Temple Grandin and WOW is the movie stunning and well performed. A truly amazing insight to another world, another mind of unique and seemingly endless intelligence! 5/5 stars!
She's a inspiration. I saw the movie about her yesterday with Claire Danes( which was AWESOME ) before that I never heard about her , but I was so moved by her story. C'mon if she could achieve all the things she did and she had this "problem" imagine what everyone can do if they have no health problem at all, We just need to try it because you can do whatever you want and you are healthy.
I am also on the Autism Spectrum (milder end, used to be Asperger Syndrome). Temple Grandin mentioned sensory issues. When I was younger, I preferred sitting in the back on the school bus, because I couldn't stand the noise from the engine at the front. For a lot of people who are sensitive to sensory input, these sensitivities are not just about 'liking' or 'not liking' these types of sensory input. For many of us, these types of sensory issues may cause uncomfortable physical sensations, like pain or feeling sick. Another thing neurptypical people should understand about people on the Autism Spectrum is that, although many of us can (and do) understand most rules, knowing when certain rules don't need to be followed is very difficult for us. We may get VERY MAD if you do something we remember asking you not do do (or making it clear that we don't like). This might be because the adults and older kids in our lives have always taught us that you shouldn't do things you have been asked not to do (or if someone has made it clear that they don't like it). We may not understand that this may be a situation where that rule doesn't need to be followed, even if you explain your reasons for doing it. Another thing we may take longer to understand is that everyone has different ideas about what is right and wrong, and that different families and households have different rules for children. We may think that whatever we have been taught, everyone else has been taught the same thing. We may not realize that someone else may have been taught that it is OK to break the rules as long as s/he is trying to keep someone safe or keep a situation from getting worse, and there is no other way to do so, that will be as effective. If we have been taught to always follow the rules, we might think you have also been taught to always follow the rules, and that you understand this in the same way we do.
One of the things Ms. Grandin always brings up is the way her parents, when first receiving the autism diagnosis, straightaway began tutoring and helping her. Playing 'sharing games" so that she would be able to connect socially - which is something autistic people often have trouble with. They understood and encouraged the many things she was still able to do, and she has grown into an articulate, involved, engaged, extremely intelligent woman. Her parents began it....
I wasn't diagnosed until 35 and I also grew up into an engaged, intelligent, articulate woman. I still have problems connecting though and I bet she also does. Autism isn't cured. we just learn to mask and blend in so we aren't bullies. Cure bullying, That can be changed.
So sorry to correct you, but it's Dr. Grandin. A very well earned title.
Yes. Her parents refused to accept what “they” said but worked for and achieved for their little girl what “they” said was impossible. Dr. Grandlin is a MAJOR BLESSING TO SO MANY all these years later!
Yes😊
I love the phrase about 'too often pounding away at the deficit rather than building the talent'. So true all too often.
^^^^^SO MUCH THIS ^^^^^
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Kohen Mordechai instablaster ;)
@Blake Archie thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Blake Archie it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
This lady may be the first person I've ever heard with the ability to "get me". I've learned so much from her videos. Thank you.
Temple Grandin is one of the most influential woman to society.
Jennifer Julianna Women
William Oarlock That’s your opinion
so true She IS... and NOT just an opinion to ANYONE who just has ears and eyes and does a bit of reading and research....
she brings back my hope
The auditory sensitivity was debilitating when I was a kid. When I was 11 my father bought me a dirt bike, and I was terrified of it, almost moved to tears, because it made very loud noise. I could not go to movie theaters for the same reason. Now I'm 25 and I've weirdly leaned into the fear of noise, falling in love with loud engines and other intense and fascinating things. I don't resent my parents one bit for not understanding me, I'm just glad that science, research, and people with pure hearts like Temple are constantly propelling us forwards in our knowledge and understanding.
This woman is a very good speaker
gohonda boscohonda Probably an effortful listener, that's how you learn; but being confident enough in your thought process to share with other brains is a muscle work on.
Temple, I hope you can see this... I am so grateful to know that you exist as a person, giving me hope and answers that make so much sense and feel empowering for the future of my own. Thank you.
I really like the way that she thinks. She is very smart and talented and she has helped so much when it comes to helping children with autism. My daughter is 4 and has aspergers and Temple has helped her through ABA therapy and of course the squeeze machine. My daughter has really come out of her shell because of this therapy. I don't know about some of you all who have had some pretty rude comments to say about this woman, but I am thankful for what she has done with the autism community. In fact I'm hoping to personally meet her so that my daughter and I can personally thank her:)
She's been one of my heroines for 50 years. I hope you and your daughter can meet her.
I too have a child who is 3 years old and just been diagnosed with autism. I find Dr Grandin an inspiration.
I enjoyed this lecture on Austim. I had never experienced an adult discussing valuable experiences about managing life as an adult and other experiences encountered as a child.
This was TREMENDOUS! I've always said that I can't do something that I don't understand completely. Dr. Grandin spoke about ASD learning starting with memorization and scripting. Once there is a large enough body of knowledge relating to a subject, then the synthesis and processing and creative processes can proceed. Awesome! (Big load off of my shoulders!)
She gives hope, confidence and strength to a mother like me who had once lost hope after knowing my child suffers from PDD. A million thanks to you maam.
Recently, I found that I am on the spectrum of Autism... I have been studying Ms. Grands lecture for a while and I come to find that I have had many personal questions answered... I thank Ms. Grand for her expertise on Autism spectrum disorder...
There are so many strategies and therapeutic techniques we can use to make a positive difference for people with autism. This video is amazing and really helps us understand more about this disability. I wish there was more training for school professionals so we could better meet the needs of students with autism.
When I was in SPED school, I was lucky to discover her. She was one of my teachers.
@@ritamariekelley4077 wow!
I like this lady. She's really informed, inspiring and charming.
My 17 year old daughter watched this entire video and never budged.....wow!
As a classic computer programmer asper, and later physician, now retired, I must give the highest accolades to Temple's presentation. She covers much ground with surprise and details at every turn. What memories her talk evokes. Frenetic but only because she has so much to say. End comment.
Forthright, concise, and comprehensive, not frenetic.
I've never been been told I'm "Autistic" but my son has... they wonder why he has problems in class, they are gonna get a specialest to find out why he does what he does...my mom and I came in his class, the lights almost made me barf, the air exsaust made vibrations that made me feel like I was gonna fall, and the hum and buzz from all the electronics in the classroom, OMG! I can't believe they could have not heard or feel it!
When did they ever spend any money on our children's school environment? It's always about budgets. Just reading your description gives me anxiety.
I love watching Dr. Grandin’s videos! You have helped me to help my 10 year old son. Yes manners!!! Why are children not taught manners??
Temple is a legend.
She is such a gift, a beautiful soul. I love her story and I love how she communicates.
Wow, absolutely amazing! My Son is on the spectrum and I can relate to Temple. Every step we take is a learning experience.
Very helpful, Im a caregiver working with a variety of disabled people, 2 x I work with everyday have severe autism, wondered why they did certain things or lacked in certain areas. Greatly heightened my awareness of life from their perspective.
I'm watching this almost 10 years after the date the video was posted. This woman....wow....so intelligent and gifted.
Ms Grandin, my family doctor (Australia) prescribed Epilim to me at 3 or 4 years, when I had an isolated Grand Mall seizure event. Two or so years later, my parents were glad to wean me from them, and I haven't had another event since then. Now 46, I have been experiencing Migraine headaches (sinus related, I think. Around eyes and temple involvement. Nausea and aura, usually activated by fluorescent light) so Ive been taking Sandomigran to avoid them. Finally worked out triggers, including air con on high setting. Now need tablets less to not at all.
She really is brilliant! I like her.
Kiki Roundbottom Gee isn't she. That's nice, this is from a college or something not a clip someone, so there's no harm in giving that like button a push. Go ahead tap the 3 dots by your comment and don't edit, cuz your grammar out ways the subsance.
My husband was privileged to meet Dr Grandin last month at Michigan State University, where she held a small group clinic on animal husbandry issues. Anthony found her fascinating, kind and very savvy on her subject. It is worth hearing her out on the neurological condition she lives with.
She is right. I think the same that so much research is put into social and communication but not sensory.
I feel sensory is the root problem of social n communication.
I didn't realize I had Asperger's till recently, I am now 32.. though all my life I have known each and every problem that I have had, and I have spent a lot of time and effort over the years taking on these problems to improve my self. I could be wrong though for the sensory part, I think it's due to the sinuses, least for me. There is something different with the sinuses that normal people do not have. This would explain the sensory effecting the ears and eyes. I have also been checked out many times at hospitals where cat scans and other types of scans were taken, nothing out of the ordinary ever showed up, except for a very bad sinus infection. This might be different for everyone though, only I think this should be looked into and researched cause there seems to be a link there.

I have chronic sinus. Very painful throughout the year. I started to do netipot which helped but sinus pressure was always there. Then I found out about putting olive oil in nose. I started to put olive oil with a dropper. This helped a lot with mucus drainage and now I have no sinus pressure. My nasal breathing improved. I haven’t done netipot in a while.
Olive oil does irritate the throat a bit if you end up putting a little too much but it’s not hamnful and with frequent use you don’t feel the irritation.
It should be extra virgin olive oil.
I was recommended surgery which I dreaded.
@@aanafaani WONDER if you see this if you can tell me how far up the nose? or just inside and not have to go deep into the nostrils?
@@marianl3447
Sorry, saw your message now.
Take the dropper up as far as you are comfortable.
I usually feel my nasal cavity.
Angle the dropper up wards and sideways so oil goes in well.
In the beginning you will feel slight burning of oil in nasal and in your throat but with consistency this will not happen ( my experience ).
Try 2-4 times a day.
Hope I explained well.
Feel free to ask more questions.
This is so me. I have sensory Processing disorder with my ASD level 2. Late diagnosis, no support. No friends. I now just gotten support this year. A case worker and a psychologist at the moment
My special interest has become Temple Grandin. I'm so impressed by her attitude/work ethic. She repeats her insightful observations over and over again for her audiences over the decades on autism and animal behavior, and keeps doing her work even now at this age, despite the fact that there are so many who don't get it (it would seem). For me, all roads in researching the root cause of autoimmune hypothyroidism and eventually ASD in adults (specifically women) have led to Temple. Thank goodness for these video uploads that exist ... these resources are gold dust ... may they always live on. Would love to meet her in person. Have bought her recently (Oct 2022) book and so excited for its arrival.
I read up alot abpuy autism and watch many videos.😊😊😊❤
And it took me 37 years but I figured out a way to understand religion for myself. Before I lacked all the correlations. Really really hard to explain linearly. The only way to do that is the have large discussions in linear segments.
Also I figured out that we attach emotions as a tool for memory. If any subject isn't chewed to the bone, we attach an emotion to it. We Need to constantly clean up clutter and pack things away where we don't have to keep pulling up the memory they can be logged deep into our subconscious
The anxiety is created from internal clutter is unbearable. Autism is like living in the quantum world, all the rules apply. I have chewed that thought down. If you would like to talk, I would be happy to share.
Just watched the video. He is exactly like my grandson, Wyatt who is 5 now. I have slowed my life down to see things in his world his way. Its such a unique experience, and I see things in a new way. I pay attention now, he analyses everything. I think children with HFA are so beautiful and so smart, they are beyond the norm. We fight for everything he needs, you have to. We are their voice. Without this child, my life would have been mundane and ordinary.
I dont think I qualify as autistic but I do share some of these traits. What really hit home was school, for me, a nightmare. To try and constantly be as invisible as possible, looking back many years later, destroyed me completely. To be different from pretty much everyone was as though I had gone from just being a kid then just been sent directly into a living nightmare. No words.
Good job temple grandin you made me feel good inside I'm autistic to
Thank you for posting this for us. I have a beautiful granddaughter who does not have a diagnosis at 5 years old but has so many autistic characteristics. I am grateful for the insights that are plainly evident through Temple Grandin's presentation. I love her passion and apparent dedication in clearly expressing concerns for anyone who struggles with this disconnect in their brain.
I have Aspergers, Temple Grandin is an inspirational woman.
She proves what we are capable of doing.
Ms. Grandin,
You are inspiring! Thank you for sharing your brilliance in understanding and knowing how to help others with Autism. I have a grandson who is under occupational and speech therapy weekly for possible autism. He is two years old. I have seen great strides in eye contact and showing more emotions with others. Thanks again for your insight and knowledge. I thank you for all your research and work.
Love the vivid speech. Alone her sound is freshing up the soul.
Bravo to you and your mother! I love to hear about parents of children with Aspberger's and Autism who take the time to listen, talk, and work around and through what other's may believe is just too difficult or impossible. My son is an amazing person, and I honestly and fervently believe probably the best person I will ever meet in this world and he makes me so proud every single day!
Love this!
A very enlightened individual, it's inspiring to see someone with her condition be so successful and to go on to help others.
So thankful for Temple Grandin! Thank you!
Beautiful lecture. Those of us who went through our adults life without diagnosis and have accidentally found some of the coping mechanism the Dr has in the lecture.
I really like Temple Grandin, but honestly going through middleschool and highschool would have been social torture for me without video games. The only reason I had and still have friends is because of videogames, it gives me something to talk about and something to do with people. I wouldn't be able to have the social life I have today if I only played video games up to one hour a day.
Read a book. Join a book club.
Agreed. Video games gave me a great escape when I needed a break from reality, they helped me develop skills with hand-eye coordination, they introduced me to a lot of characters I still love, they gave me inspiration for artwork, and they helped me meet friends who I love very much.
It's probably a side effect of the video being 14 years old, but I feel the anti-video game stance she has aged very poorly.
she is an amazing speaker!! i am in my school's forensic team for 3 years and i've never heard anything like this!! its incredible!!! i wish i could meet her!
Temple, thank you so much for your advocacy and sharing your story. My son is a child with Autism and you have given me so much insight into his world. Thank you!
This woman truly has the ability to express and explain through her own highly educated mind and soul, about the people who live through and experience autism. She's got brilliant metaphors, gestures and phenomenal thoughts on how people can improve themselves mentally... Temple Grandin might have experienced her own autism, but now she's able to finally help every single person in need. She is a miraculous human being. God bless her.
I have learned more information from Temple in these videos than any other Dr. or website out there! Thank you, this will really help me to cope and work with my son.
This is brilliant. Everyone needs to watch this to understand human interactions and themselves. I know someone who is just like her. Now I understand why she can't explain or teach what she can do. And I met someone else like that (an artist).
We all learn by association.
I have a visual issue. I thought it was dyslexia. You were blessed to have the family you did.
She is one of the most incredible people alive!!! Her mind is brilliant and Claire Daines did an amazing job playing her! What a brilliant mind she has :)
Yes, I experienced very mild visual-spatial difficulties, due also to being born with a very mild Cerebral Palsy. I'd have benefitted greatly with a note-taker at school, as looking at the board and copying notes was very time-consuming for me. I cannot stand going in to department stores like Target, and used to tell my mum I could 'play' with light when I was very young. I would make 'clouds' and see 'auras' around people. I can remember a location by the okay of light in the place, and when my parents divorced, I always tried to replicate the play of light and atmosphere of my childhood bedroom at home into my new bedroom
In every volunteer role Ive been in, I make a clear and step by step list of the role to help the next person out. I hope it's been helpful, as I would have liked a list just like it
About the Irlen lenses, my optician places a blue tint on mine, and I believe this really helps my concentration. Not sure about the effectiveness in reality, but I do believe they have improved my productivity. Also, kinesthetic activities and games are fun for all the children in your early years class, they help with concentration - "con-cen-tra-tion! Concentration! Ready-begin" clicks or claps is a great reminder you can use in class. We use these firm cushions with a textured seat for young children who need help focussing on task. The students use them on the floor, or even on their chairs. A piece of carpet mat can replace this...make sure your child chooses the mat he or she will like the feel of. The feeling helps them to be present,and this technique is very effective for 4-6 year olds
So clear and candid and all the things Temple said about her early years with Autism, I recognize in my daughter. Thank you so much Temple... I now know what my baby is facing and am better able to help her. Thank you so much!
She's so helpful. I felt teary when she talked about some childhood things. I remember agonizing over things when I was young and undiagnosed. Thank you for sharing.
Everything about her growing up and her thinking and actions, it's like she's reading my mind. I'm not autistic but I swear me and her have alot in common
No, you don't.
Yes😊
Rock on lady! I am so impressed with her. She is good at what she does and she does it without all of the social bs. I don't think she smiled even once and it didn't matter at all. Wow!
How wonderful it is to have CZcams so that you can watch an awesome presentation like this in the comfort of my home. I tried to go to this presentation in my hometown, but it was sold out. Temple is a wonderful role model for all, but especially for the autism community!! Thank you!

A Is for Autism, F Is for Friend
What a great storyteller Temple is. I learned so much from this and could listen even more.
Temple is truly a blessing, and an inspiration to those of us in the spectrum!
For the moving letters and dyslexia aspect two of our kids strongly benefited from Irlen Syndrome glasses.
I have learned so much from Dr. Grandin's speaches. My daughter has many of the struggles of Asberger's Syndrome but with her family, school support team of specialists and doctor's I know she will go far. Everyday I see something amazingly unique and feel blessed with every new acomplishment she makes.
I have high functioning Autism so this lecture really did speak to me.
Temple, You are indeed a great person. Temple Grandin is one of my favorite movies of all time. I have autism as well. I have been in similar situations you have been in. I am sure we would have great discussions when in it comes to autism.
I was not bad at algebra, but I was REALLY good at trig and geometry. I failed geometry in high school the first time through due to bullying by the students and teacher. I signed up again the next year with a different teacher, and sailed through. I'd have the homework done before we left class (teacher gave us the assignments 5 minutes before the end of class so we could ask questions).
Trigonometry is absolutely essential for the fields electricity and electronics. Geometry teaches excellent logic concepts.
Temple is a wonderful person who has been very helpful in offering suggestions that have helped us in assisting our son with his emergence from the autism disorder. If you get the chance, go see her speak. She one of the most dynamic speakers I have had the opportunity to see.
Appreciate you so much. Have a grandson with Asperger's and it has been such a fascinating journey to get him ready for a successful life in the world.When he saw the movie of your life he instantly identified. Your practical approach coupled with research is most helpful. Tyhank you for sharing your experiences. It is helping us all so much. My grandson is well on his way to becoming a sucessful wildlife photographer and much of our journey was based on following your kind of approach.
I have high functioning autism and loved the this movie because I could relate. I was always more shy and reserved and I love animals and whenever I get anxiety or upset petting animals would always calm me down. I had bad temper tantrums and was very sensitive. I have overcome a lot of things but there are some areas I struggle in. I have always struggled with loud noises and socializing. I only get close to a few people. I am very sensitive to loud noises and get startled by loud noises.
Also I have never been much of a touchy person and I get really tense when I receive an unwanted hug or physical interaction.
The most amazing thing from this entire video is that she has a sense of humor.
The difficult thing about my high school..I came in, wanting to make friends, try out for everything...while, inside, I was a trembling mess...my school had ridiculously perfect standards for all its activities on offer ..from long distance running, to school musical; debating and public speaking, to library or office monitor. I failed at all of these things, and also struggled to make friends...by year 11, I was a library helper, but that was the only thing I achieved...the bullying intensified, as well, but at least I completed Year 12, and with exams on top of that. I didn't make it into the degree course I wanted. I would have benefitted from some one to one assistance, particularly in note-taking, with all the subjects which involved physical strength or fine motor dexterity, in the maths and sciences, and in social skill development. Otherwise, the staff did not understand why I excelled at some things, and struggled to keep up in other areas. My frequent trips to the bathroom - I had severe period problems, and a bad case of what was believed by my doctor to be Irritable Bowel - were strongly suspected to be caused by an intense case of nerves. My worst grades were in Art, where my creative ideas got me through, but my pencil skills failed me - and math. I had been in remedial math all through primary, and had real difficulty catching on to long and short division, for example. I couldn't memorise the formula, and never knew how to ask, or what to say to get the help I needed. I was unable to handle a car or a hammer, due to my tiny stature, and the English teacher thought I excelled at reading at a high level, but my comprehension, literacy and grammar skills were way below grade. School was a nightmare, but I fulfilled my passions after completing it and passing out of high school - joining every theatre group imaginable, working with radio for the blind, assisting with children's learning at a church, volunteering here there and everywhere. Those experiences saved me
I have found that what works best for me in controlling the debilitating anxiety (in addition to several other things, including problems with memory and focus), is to maintain a 100% plant based diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, eliminating all refined carbohydrates and other processed foods (i.e., no artificial coloring, flavoring, preservatives, etc.), adding freshly ground raw flax seeds and/or chia seeds and/or walnuts to my meals for the Omega-3s, and adding daily probiotics (I take Klaire Labs Ther-Biotic powder dissolved in water). Also, I find it essential to go for several walks a day outside in the sunshine, preferably 3 times per day for at least 15-20 minutes at a time (or longer, if possible). Additionally, because I have the MTHFR gene mutation (heterozygous C677T), which is very common for those on the autism spectrum, I have to get biweekly glutathione IV pushes with B complex added to address deficiencies in those areas. I also take methylated B12 supplements, and my multivitamins contain L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. I am also doing chelation therapy to eliminate toxic metals in my body.
I didn't figure all of this out on my own, of course - I've been seeing a naturopath for the past 2 years, who has helped me to determine what my personal issues are and has treated me for those. I would highly recommend that everyone see a naturopath to help them find a treatment program that is tailored to their own needs.
Debbie Prince i wish common doctors commonly looked into such nutritional details
Super lecture by a fascinating personality. Learned so much. Keep up the Great work Temple.
An amazing woman, a true gift . . .
Fascinating to hear someone with autism describing in such detail what it is going on in the autistic mind. It is so rare for them to be able to verbally express the roots of their behaviors and reactions. Grandin has connected the dots for me in so many ways in my relationship with my autistic son. Lots of "oh...that's why he does that!"
As a mother of a son who has ASD, she gives me hope. I can't watch the movie without crying, it showing at times how the world is to those with this condition.
Thank you so much for posting this video. My son, Jovan, is 12 and was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism a year ago. Before that he was mis-diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 4. I knew there was something more. I just wish there was more people helping in Vancouver, Wa.
Yes but Temple’s parents had NOBODY helping back then. They did not have professional clinical degrees but they got the help they could and did much of the work themselves.
I am always so inspired by her talks. She is so incredible.
Awesome...how awesome...a gift she is to us for the education from the inside that she provides the world regarding autism.
What a brilliant and impressive woman!
Temple Grandin, I am thoroughly enjoying your lecture. I am a visual thinker, and I use colour to remind me about things. Yellow is getting up. A bright purple reminds me to be mindful. A deep green reminds me to get back to nature, and blue reminds me to cool down, and be myself.
You are right! She didn't smile and we sense she is someone we can trust. You are right she rocks; people rock whatever they are when they work hard believing in what they are. Each one of us is blessed with our special, customised ourselves-ness, I think. When we see an "extreme case" such as Mr. Einstein and Dr Grandin, we will be reminded of the resources we each must be abundantly given ʕ•̫͡•ʔʕ•̫͡•ʔ.
This is incredible.
I can relate to sooooo much of this and I've never been diagnosed on the autism spectrum.
Excellent video, very engaging. She does an excellent job of explaining the different types of autism what we need to being focusing on for future research. Thank you Dr. Grandin
I've got some sensory problems to this day, and I'm 18. Temple Grandin is awesome in the sense that she's making things clear for people who don't understand sensory problems OR autism.
I wonder how you are now as you reach your late 20s ?
As someone with the assbergers(top rung of the spectrum) this is all me; I use it to connect with brute force but pouring ideas in the heads of others and using their mental source code to spit back a thought further along the process. The length I do this that depends on what I'm wondering why, when and how I can get the to engage, but overheating of both parties has been observed.
very great video and valuable information , i can't understand how can someone would dislike this video if you are not interested in the topic don't watch it ....but as a mom of autistic child this is very helpful
My son has just been diagnosed and this has been a tremendous helpful look itno my son's world. Thank you
Oh the irony! I have Asperger's myself and the opening music to this video is excruciating.
it's probably that high 11,000 cycle electronic chime part. it's annoying i would say to a lot of regular people too
chavruta2000 what makes you ”regular”, and us abnormal?
Think of it more as "regular or enhanced" ;-)
I skipped all of the intro stuff and jumped right to where she starts speaking.
YES! And my daughter, who had headphones on, took them off to ask what I was watching as the “screechy music” went straight through to her nerve centre too! I has to fast forward it.
I have 2 children with Autism, and I only wish I had head her speak before now! She answers many questions that I have always had, and does so in such a simple way. The way she describes the Autistic mind, and reactions of a person with Autism is EXACTLY how my children are. It doesn't matter if you are a neurologist, psychiatrist , or psychologist.....I LIVE it everyday, and have for 11 years.....she is right on the money. She is amazing.
I love this woman and feel like she speaks my language. Some people (that are different types of thinkers), are extremely hard for me to understand, yet I can follow everything that she's saying.
My 3 year old has just recently been diagnosed on the autism spectrum and this and others like it have given me a glimpse of his world. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to live in his world when he has such difficulty in mine.
I've gotten the most pleasure from "grown-up" courses....from necessary courses like First Aid(needless to say, the comprehensive one, not the day block!) to Spanish language, which I've never been able to use over here, but love to read a great deal en Espanol. Never studied at University, because of fear of failure, but I hope, someday, to study early childhood development further, maybe even complete a teaching degree. I took theory in Childcare, but struggled to complete the final assessment ,- managing a room of children, and directing staff on what to do. That was difficult to do, because I had so many ideas, and little confidence to bring my ideas in to being. We were to concentrate of observing children, and setting up to meet the needs of each child. Staff feedback was that my plans were too complex, I was unable to manage time or other adults, and that my relationships and work with the children were excellent, but not good enough to become a teacher. I struggled to overcome each of those blows from the director of child care. I'd have been suited to library, but our local library had extremely high standards for staff. I'd have been considered 'too weird'. I attend all our local libraries regularly, just adore reading and book resources, but I don't feel confident with the adult people there. Tried working in a few of our bookshops, but seriously struggled with the money handling at every job, and there were specific guidelines for displaying books in an exacting way. This was a struggle. I've learned how to restore old books, which I do in my spare time
I felt the same way after watching her movie. I can't begin to explain what an affect she, and the movie had on me. I think you right about her being an angel of God. My friend's son is autistic and I'm definetely going to have her watch this movie. Temple is an inspiration to all!!!
We just watched HBO's Temple Grandin and WOW is the movie stunning and well performed. A truly amazing insight to another world, another mind of unique and seemingly endless intelligence! 5/5 stars!
Excellent program! Thank you, Temple!
She's a inspiration. I saw the movie about her yesterday with Claire Danes( which was AWESOME ) before that I never heard about her , but I was so moved by her story. C'mon if she could achieve all the things she did and she had this "problem" imagine what everyone can do if they have no health problem at all, We just need to try it because you can do whatever you want and you are healthy.
I am also on the Autism Spectrum (milder end, used to be Asperger Syndrome). Temple Grandin mentioned sensory issues. When I was younger, I preferred sitting in the back on the school bus, because I couldn't stand the noise from the engine at the front. For a lot of people who are sensitive to sensory input, these sensitivities are not just about 'liking' or 'not liking' these types of sensory input. For many of us, these types of sensory issues may cause uncomfortable physical sensations, like pain or feeling sick.
Another thing neurptypical people should understand about people on the Autism Spectrum is that, although many of us can (and do) understand most rules, knowing when certain rules don't need to be followed is very difficult for us. We may get VERY MAD if you do something we remember asking you not do do (or making it clear that we don't like). This might be because the adults and older kids in our lives have always taught us that you shouldn't do things you have been asked not to do (or if someone has made it clear that they don't like it). We may not understand that this may be a situation where that rule doesn't need to be followed, even if you explain your reasons for doing it.
Another thing we may take longer to understand is that everyone has different ideas about what is right and wrong, and that different families and households have different rules for children. We may think that whatever we have been taught, everyone else has been taught the same thing. We may not realize that someone else may have been taught that it is OK to break the rules as long as s/he is trying to keep someone safe or keep a situation from getting worse, and there is no other way to do so, that will be as effective. If we have been taught to always follow the rules, we might think you have also been taught to always follow the rules, and that you understand this in the same way we do.
Wow that woman is amazing. I didnt feel the need to swipe to a different video. Inspiring and very insightful.
