Home & Family - Temple Grandin

Temple Grandin, Ph.D. offers key advice to parents of autistic children.

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!

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 

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.

I was diagnosed with ASD at age 61...changed my life because I finally understood that I was not dumb, a problem child in class. I no longer hate myself...
Anxiety is a daily struggle but listening to her has given me hope.
She's an amazing women.
I think in images too.

I have to say this is a great woman. She is a perfect example that greatness can come in many forms.

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.

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.

The resources she had were such a blessing- God provided knowing what she would do for animals.

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.

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.
