I feel that the big hero in the Temple Grandin story was and is her mother who, against all the dismissing of women in the mid-twentieth century, pushed through and got Temple what she understood she needed. Dr. Grandin then took it further educating the rest of the world all about autism. I thank them both for all they have accomplished!
Dr. Grandin, you are a human treasure. I stumbled onto the HBO movie and have been a dedicated admirer since then. Your influence on the humane treatment of stock and your livestock design business is spectacular. Thank you for the hope and direction you can give to parents struggling to understand their children.
My son was just diagnosed with Aspergers and as a Motherly instinct, I always knew. He is at a genius level and was just accepted into a gifted program. I just discovered this woman and I get her hands in approach. My son is a lego master...has been since they were a choking hazard lol...he cannot have someone put anything together for him. He basically has a panic attack because he wants to do it himself.
The interviewers, especially the woman, were ill prepared for this gifted woman. Temple shines in her intelligence, leaving the interviewer in the dust.
Wow. Just wow. Such an inspiration. She has such a gift by being able to actually vocalize her experience with having autism. This is going to change the way we all think of not only what it is to have autism but how to parent or teach children who have autism on any end of the spectrum.
Autism is not a mental health problem it is a neurological disorder. I have two boys with autism. They talked late but were very smart. They loved legos at an early age.b I loved her movie and it is very inspiring to me. One don is a math thinker and the other knows all about science and facts. Dr. Grand in is so right about everything she says.
Love the advice to build on your strengths! Makes me feel less guilty for always doodling during math class. Now I have a full time career as an animator.
Doc Grandin is one of the most amazing people i could have ever hoped to have met and worked with. have worked with her in several instances and she also helped give my PACCO training last month. shes an amazing person and and inspiration to all in the livestock industry. and on a side note commerce is a pretty cool place also.
When she talks about associating things with other things. That's how my mind works. I associate someone or something with something else. I also feel like a human encyclopedia sometimes.
Thinking in visuals is exactly how I think, or screenshots of my past as I call it. No diagnosis of autism just how I think, always have and always will. Thank you for sharing!
Who is this woman interviewer? Someone who just happen to be walking by the studio? She was unprepared and added nothing. The guy was professional and did his homework. It's always a treat to listen to Ms. Grandin. She's always has very interesting subjects to discuss.
Wow, I am I’m pressed with your life and it’s work and your education. With only a bachelor and associate degree I admire your pushing on and thru life and not letting anything stop you. My hats off to you.
I finally watched Temple Grandin, the HBO film, it was really good. I first heard Dr. Grandin in a NPR interview 15-20 years ago, what an amazing woman, I’ve been a fan ever since. Interestingly enough, the issue with the asymmetry in her brain ventricles, I have the same condition. I have never been diagnosed, but have come to think I am “on the spectrum”. We are lucky she came from a family of means, others would have been institutionalized or given menial lives, wasting the talents she possesses.
I think in pictures as well--I had no idea that others could misspell words because I saw words as images, written down. Letters weren't a thing--I memorised words as written because to me, they looked like images. Weirdly enough, I worked in radio for nearly 20 years!
Dr Temple is a visual thinker and a brilliant human being truly an inspiration,an inventor and author. Consider the book "the Autistic Brain" Dr Grandin explains in detail how to better understand Autism.
The female host says “great movie” and moments later was asking how Temple got into livestock. It’s in the great movie lady! Ironic we’re talking about thinking minds.
She's very lucky that her family was so supportive, back in the day, people weren't as educated or understanding about things like Autism, learning disorders, etc.
My 7 year old diagnosed with ADHD when he was 3 and my 3year old was diagnosed with autism spectrum when he was 2 she is awesome she saying everything I was told about my kids
I think it is disrespectful to introduce her as Temple versus the distinction of her Doctorate. Dr. Grandin is an extraordinary human being and we are so lucky to have her talents.
Oh no! Where is the second half of this? O we Miss Christine and Mark! I cannot believe the interview Temple Grandin this is so amazing! I am sorry I did not see this earlier! 2 amazing journalists and one amazing scientist!!!
It would've been nice if they knew ANYTHING about the woman before they interviewed her. Hadn't heard of the movie, didn't know she has designed the gold standard contraption for humane cattle treatment, etc. Pitiful preparation. Shows the conveyor belt process of these empty, vapid daytime shows. Ugh.
@@annatavoletti4637 I agree they weren't quite prepared because they couldn't even quite grasp what she was talking about... But we might want to take it easy on them. Lol. They're local daytime talk show ppl not Neurosurgeons or air plane pilots or heads of state. 😂
I believe they are encouraging her to express it herself and not talk over her. They asked her to mention the name of the movie so she could promote it, not that they don't know. She IS autistic and needs a certain approach. I recently attended a webinar with her and she told us she can only answer specific type questions. She had a hard time with the freeform questions and it was difficult for her to stay on track. I say this because she was very up front about that from the beginning. I think they did a good job here, and I'm sure had to prepare fairly well to be able to let her shine.
I remember Ms. Grandin speaking about 'playing sharing games' as a child, something autistic children do not normally do. Social deficits can often be far more crippling than any problems with 'IQ' (whatever that means!
I do exactly the samething. Someone will say something and vivid pictures pop into my head from past experiences. It works with words too, but it's more like a short video and only when I hear them in audio form. It wont work with text for some reason. I scored in the top 95% on verbal tests and my vocabulary is pretty extensive. Though you wouldn't know it from my comments as i'm to lazy and dyslexic to write in an Elegant way. When I was 8 years old I had the vocabulary of an adult; I hear any word I can store it in my memory and pull it out when needed without hesitation. Anyway, sorry for the off track slightly extraneous babbling. I find the greatest advantage to my autism is my ability to blend ideas together in my head. I can take a photo realistic image right out of my head and blend it with other images and ideas. I can literally see the things bending and mixing. I can see the tiniest of details on any object while only ever seeing that object once . As you can imagine this is very useful in abstract and paradoxical thinking. Lets just say I only ever got A+s in art and writing. Sadly I'm not so hot at maths, but i'm improving that everyday because I'm studying for my masters in theoretical physics.
I'm like this too. But can sometimes apply to text but had to be very deliberate or in COLOR. I started to increase my reading when I. Began to highlight things. I would highlight almost a while text. Switching colours. It gave me a chance to focus on the words and I learned to sight read that way and learned to turn everything I read very rapidly into little movies in my head. Then I could always always recall the movie. I would ace any exam doing this.. Errors were only there if a teacher did multiple choice that included my images but with something else ambigous I could rule out. Also multiple choice could mess me up because the teacher could have faulty logic in that normal minds wouldn't think about. Can't think of examples now. But I'm sure you understand based on what you wrote.
Middle School/Jr. High School was not?! Do you consider Jr. High School part of High School? Was that how the people thought then. (I'm a history/facts guy, I struggled with math and formal logic/philosophy classes).
The host isn't even listening, Temple clearly said "build on what they're good at" and he nods in agreement while saying "balance", which is pretty much the opposite of what she just said.
She's off the charts killing it with what she was given to work with. Most people don't interview this well or handle the unprepared interviewers this well. Or give public talks and etc. Asks be a fancy designer.

@@stevehairston9940 It's a typo. The original sentence was "It's a mix, northern and western USA.", but thought I needed to be specific because there are many northern and western accents. Went back and filled in details without wiping out the first sentence.
@@MichaelCorryFilms I think TX. Didn't she say the stoplights were in San Antonio? Edit... Oops... It was Fort Collins. I was influenced by the shirt I think!
She's funny! She gets lots of laughs at her talks. She cuts through crap like a hot knife through butter. That makes ppl laugh when someone makes something simple that most ppl complicate. Plus the drama that comes with that mind... It's like being in a movie all the time.
I love Temple Grandin but these hosts seem like the fakest most un-genuine people ever. Notice the lady says her movie is great but doesn't know about her livestock business.

Most of us defectives are dependant on our mothers.
She was really fortunate to have the family she did and the upbringing she had. It should be used as a basic model for all kids nowadays

+GizmoBee1702 I love that woman. She is simply amazing!
I have PDD NOS and I live in Philippines. I was a pioneer student and student council officer

So happy that Temple exists and that she had such an amazing family.
I have to say this is a great woman. She is a perfect example that greatness can come in many forms.
Wow. Just wow. Such an inspiration. She has such a gift by being able to actually vocalize her experience with having autism. This is going to change the way we all think of not only what it is to have autism but how to parent or teach children who have autism on any end of the spectrum.
I’m grateful she is still here with is today. She lived an amazing process of history, being herd and got people to understand her.

Chelle Weatherspoon when did your kids start talking? TIA ..just curious because my son is diagnosed with add too
What age did your kids learn speech.thanks
Did your little one eventually learn to speak 🙏
Dr. Grandin is dedicated to improving the humane treatment of animal slaughter. She is an amazing person. I admire her.
Dr. Grandin you are an inspiration on Earth Angel and my new hero🇨🇦
Love the advice to build on your strengths! Makes me feel less guilty for always doodling during math class. Now I have a full time career as an animator.
The resources she had were such a blessing- God provided knowing what she would do for animals.
I am new to learning about Dr Temple Grandin, her story is inspiring, amazing and she deserves the nobel peace prize.
she is such an amazing woman... we owe Temple SO much...

She deserves to be recognized as a national genius and national treasure.

I absolutely love temple. I wish very much to meet her one day.
With Temple Grandin to be advocates of people with pervasive development disorders, you are a voice for mei important and authoritative!
Thank you :-)
Love Temple! She's such an awesome person!
Temple Grandin is just amazing I have done so much research on her and she is just amazing
True genius! What a god sent gift! God bless this wonderful gifted woman! Gotta Love Dr. Grandin!
She is so inspirational and truly remarkable.
She’s a hero to many of us on the spectrum!
Wow temple is so amazing I just love her

Live live livestock? Like livestock?

Thank You Temple Grandin ❣️
Very brilliant lady. Plain and simple
Claire Danes was awesome playing her in the movie Temple Grandin.
I'd love to meet her. She is awesome.
Temple Grandin is amazing! I would love to have her mind for just a day.

That's called "sight words" I think. Like its the shape of the word. Curious... Is it hard to read all caps or new weird fonts?
You are a lovely woman Temple!:)

I think she did that to help the audience. She's a journalist doing a great job. I was taken back by that at first as well
She's very lucky that her family was so supportive, back in the day, people weren't as educated or understanding about things like Autism, learning disorders, etc.
We need to change the way to teach our children in school.
What an inspiration.
Dont forget shes a Dr/professor. Amazing
My 7 year old diagnosed with ADHD when he was 3 and my 3year old was diagnosed with autism spectrum when he was 2 she is awesome she saying everything I was told about my kids
Cows are Temple Grandin true soulmate.
Yall gotta watch her movie.
I think it is disrespectful to introduce her as Temple versus the distinction of her Doctorate. Dr. Grandin is an extraordinary human being and we are so lucky to have her talents.
Grandin is amazing, she kinda reminds me of myself
The HBO movie is FANTASTIC. I highly recommend it to everyone.
"Which HBO movie?"
"..........the one that was named after me."
These interviewers are really, really bad.
That’s a really cool way of thinking!
Tempe is a treasure.
Oh no! Where is the second half of this? O we Miss Christine and Mark!
I cannot believe the interview Temple Grandin this is so amazing! I am sorry I did not see this earlier! 2 amazing journalists and one amazing scientist!!!
I can't believe he is doing an interview and didn't see the Claire Danes movie. Way to be prepared and care.

Could it be that the talk show hosts wanted Temple to explain it not themselves?

Dr Temple Grandin explains how to better educate and inspire parents with that have children with autism.
Brilliant and nice

The host is Cristina Ferrare. She was married to John Deloren, maker of the Delorean car as seen in the movie Back to the Future.
Ayfkm?
“Great movie” Seconds later - how did you get into livestock.
How much does it cost to get a brain scan done, to see the areas of the brain that is stronger? I always wanted to get it done.
I wish sometimes you could pick more med stuff like this. Get random CT's and stuff. Lol. Docs have to order everything!
Who looks socially awkward here?
It’s not Temple.
She was like the grandmother of us.
Of ppl with autism?
The rest?
Middle School/Jr. High School was not?! Do you consider Jr. High School part of High School? Was that how the people thought then. (I'm a history/facts guy, I struggled with math and formal logic/philosophy classes).
Temple is the brilliant autistic girl untill she became PhD and professor of Colorado State University just like Helen Keller

shes an ableist
She comes from a wealthy family.
Before you interview someone please research them
The question: " what movie?"
This was an embarrassing interview
Much of what she tries to get across is damning indictment of our very weak public education system - and not just autistic children either
I think these two interviewers know little bout her,it is a shame.
I love Temple Grandin but these hosts seem like the fakest most un-genuine people ever. Notice the lady says her movie is great but doesn't know about her livestock business.
These hosts are terrible.
Who is this female interviewer, not the sharpest
