This is where I am right now, here in my 20s proving every single one I am not stupid despite my autism spectrum. I may not have started talking till I was 4, had learning differences in my education, but an individual with the spectrum soon enough pulls out the extreme intelligence by having a mind like an encyclopedia. I am not stupid, and I never have been. Thank you Temple
I have never met one human being who is ordinary. You my friend are extraordinary just as we all are, every human being who had ever lived. We are all made to be different. that is our gift to the world. We all have purpose and meaning. If we didn't we wouldn't be here or have once been here (passed away.) When we compare ourselves to others we only see our own interpretation of them but not who they really are nor how they really feel think and perceive themselves or others let alone their thoughts. Our gifts are given from God to share to Our family of humanity. Whether or not we choose to let renew us and change us so we can use our gifts for good lies in freewill. Never forget you are always loved. Live is greater then any force in this universe.
Me too Evan
My son has aspergers and she is right. Everything has to be taught. Every expression, every turn of phrase, every manner.. it can be very overwhelming but he is the sweetest boy and unlike all his normal friends and classmates, he would never hurt anyone (feelings or otherwise) on purpose. He loves more than any other person I have ever heard tale of.
I love this lady, my son has autism, she has given me hope for him...
Paul Schmur why didn't you have hope for him before, you should believe in him no matter what
Paul Schmur Its good you're visualising his future, but I have autism, and he needs hope in himself, so don't verbalize your love too often and give him as much space as possible and don't worry about getting love back, because they will never owe you anything for breeding so don't remind them of when they were a baby. That's a hard pill to swallow, but he has to breath to grow.
Berzerk0566 Uncertanty and fear of making someone useless to themselves, but you can drown out their will to develop with helicopter parenting, and it's good of you to notice a needy parent especially with someone who will have to LEARN diciplin and not be tot it.
Godbless you
My maternal grandad, my mum, and my brother are on the spectrum and so is my husband. Neither of them are handicapped and my husband is a genius.
I am supposed to be neurotypical but people like Temple Grandin not only look perfectly normal to me, I am more comfortable around them than I am around neurotypicals. I'm drawn to honesty and logic.
The most important thing is to understand that autism isn't anything to be cured. Accept your son isn't neurotypical and that's perfectly OK. Love him and raise him as a father should, discipline included, but do not try to turn him into a neurotypical.
Please do not drug your child. Read The Myth of the Chemical Cure.
I know what this lovely lady has lived through. Animals have a natural affinity for the autistic people. They communicate with each other. My husband was born in 1928, when Autism wasn't even known about. When we married, we dug deep, and finally found out about his being autistic. Once he knew what it was, he became focused on finding a way THROUGH it. He passed away in March at 86, a man who knew he was loved, and how to trust and love in return..He had, like all autistic challenged people, an incredible mind! Multi-talented, and knew so much about the universe, and it made sense tohim! These are not handicapped people...they are challenged, and in return, God has given each one an awesome talent. People need to RESPECT and LOVE these awesome people. I did, and it made my life so much better...I was loved beyond measure. Isn't communication what life is all about?
What a lovely story!!!
We are only challenged to fit into society. If we lived on a world where only autistic people lived, it would be the finest world in God's universe. Stop calling us challenged and handicapped, we just think and see things differently than the 'so-called' normal's. What if the Autistic's were the normal ones and the rest of you are flawed? Now, there's an interesting thought.
@Aryan Ranger What's a raccoon? NT is not understood.
@Aryan Ranger NT is figure?????
Very inspiring story! I appreciate how you and your late husband grew and thrived with the knowledge of his neuro divergent mind. I can't imagine the hardship he went through in his childhood or how hard it was for him to form a loving and sexual relationship with someone at a time where his mindset was completely misunderstood. It sounds like he thrived with what God decided he must suffer through. I hope you are thanking God for all the pain and suffering he went through his whole life so it could make a cute story about how he is one of the ones who made it. If you had a choice to put your children through that I hope you would not. That all powerful daddy really seems to like toying with his pets. All credit to you and fuck God for putting you two through that. Also thankfully god isn't real.
I have autism and was just diagnosed at age 49. It is such a release to understand my thought process. I hear every instrument in original songs in my head but failed every music class and the ability to learn scales. I am glad I now know that my neuro system is designed a certain way, for a reason.
I was just diagnosed a few weeks ago, it seems to explain why I couldn't hold a job, im wondering if this diagnosis might help me to get and hold work
That’s a social issue so it would be best to seek the online GRASP group so that you can meet with others and discuss the best way to socialize in public settings.
I'd love to hear you talk one day. Or maybe write a book on your experiences, please!!!
I’m glad you could learn that about yourself and understand yourself more. Modern psychology is a blessing!
Carol Thomas The only real reason for its design, if it differs at all, which it does not, is, in the eyes of autism's own subscribers, to mark you as inferior and justify your lifelong mistreatment, and by extension the eternal existence of the concept itself. I worked this out because my mother is narcissistic, sociopathic, and brutal.
I can seat here & listen to her forever... What interesting woman Dr. Temple Grandin that is!!!!!!!!!
I love Temple Grandin - she's my hero!
Mine too. Have you met her before?
I wish!
To me she is my autism role model, I have autism as well, and I respect her so much.
Temple Grandin will go down as one of the greatest of all times. People will still be talking about her and her work 300 years from now!
She's a beautiful person, I love her.
Temple is an Amazing example of someone who overcame the things that limited her to be able to utilize her incredible talents to the fullest. And those Roy Rogers rules for life ought to come into popularity again - we could all do with a good dose of those. 👍🏽
Temple Grandin is an inspiration to many!
***** No thank you.
Betsy Collins Typical bottom feeder of bullshit joy comment. We will know to be inspired without your reminder.
It always interests me to see the different ways we atypicals find to deal with the fact that society expects typicality... I think, if "normal" people really appreciated just how much we're capable of, they'd be a lot more intimidated by us. To wit: I was a quiet kid, socially awkward, couldn't stand to pick up the phone for anything, basically only spoke when spoken to and sounded like Data from Star Trek when I did (ie. stilted and formal). I got a job in a call center, and within less than a month, that all changes. If I didn't mention I'm an Aspie to someone at this point, they'd have no idea.
I learned a number of useful skills, but the biggest one I learned was how to be both a talker and a listener simultaneously. We already have these amazing memories, and we can put them to good use by letting someone get the part of the conversation they want out of the way and then bring up what we'd wanted to talk about from the start without them even realizing we'd meant for that to happen. We're still able to fluently follow and contribute to the conversation prior to that injection, no less, and even go back to it once we've said our piece.
What we have is no disability. We're effectively running on a different code base and with slightly different hardware. That just means we have to find interesting ways to get our code to imitate their code. When you approach it that way, emulating "normal" becomes less of a chore and more of a potentially fun challenge.
Thought everyone was doing all that. Lol. Yikes.
Great clip reinforcing why families, schools, and communities need to teach social skills on a regular basis. I agree with Temple Grandin about the harm coming from "reality" shows. I believe that many of them are teaching kids (and adults) that it's OK to be intolerant, obnoxious, and unkind. Reality shows often encourage bullying and abuse.
I too am on the spectrum and what I like about her is that she is so positive and a good mentor figure for the Autism community. Not only to those on the spectrum but to others as well.
Im an incredibly mild aspie myself with above average IQ of 135.
But im still very un social even though I play in a band and don't really hang out after.
I do come off as rude.
Im quite stubborn and arrogant sometimes to.
+GamerDares Wins Kinda comes with being that smart, I think. I get that.
Same
I'm like this too... Ppl are kinda intimidated and in awe and shun me at the same time. Realizing they look to you and need your mercy helps. And when you don't reach out and spend time with them it feels personal because for them to do that they'd have to not like the person.
An inspiring woman.
What she says about the dreadful values transmitted by shows like 'survivor' etc. is so true and important
she is great! I want to watch her movie tonight. I also love animals and just want to look after my elderly dog and animals. I have been farm sitting the last 3 months and i love it. The owners aren't much of farmers but I like helping them and just being on the farm and not having to go anywhere. IF it was my farm it would be a lot different. We need to treat farm animals better cause a lot of them are very sweet and gentle in their own way. I want a farm one day, I love doing farm work and taking care of my elderly dog and farm animals
50s had more "values" pounded into society - besides the problems and ignorances, there were a lot of quality values we need more than ever today.
Dr Temple Grandin is relaxed in this interview, the interviwer is calmly asking questions to learn.
She's so well-spoken, articulate.
Thank dog she can communicate and thereby share her insights and genius with others.
So many are denied even that seemingly fundamental aspect of human interaction and development due to a minute difference in their chemistry.
We have an almost limitless horizon of work to be done to even begin to understand the workings of the brain.
I'd highly recommend her book, "Thinking In Pictures"--the book that the movie was based on. I have such huge respect for Dr. Grandin!
I watched the movie and I just love her..
Anybody else find yourself replaying from 0:34 on? Aspergers! Mark Zuckerberg! CLASSIC!
The way he's leaning towards her is making ME nervous
Awww I liked it. Made me feel like he was appropriately excited about how awesome she is.
She is one person I'd definitely like to meet and hear her speak in person. My 11yr old son is also on the spectrum.
i fully share temple’s feeling about some type of shows. i’ve never gotten what’s entertaining about causing problems for people just living their lives.
claire danes did such an amazing job in this movie. i've been around autistic people for a long time, and this woman is truly amazing.
He's a sharp and sincere interviewer! Nice pace editing too!
Extraordinary Attorney Woo definitely nailed her
Strombo shows his interviewing chops by offering a few key questions and letting Temple Grandin speak her piece. Good interview and a fascinating interviewee.
This woman is amazing! I watched the movie and hadn't even known who she was. I can't believe they don't teach about her in school! She is incredible!
It makes a lot of sense
Amazing woman. Since my son was diagnosed with autism, I have read several different books about the subject and the one that I recommend the most is by Temple Grandin titled "Thinking in Pictures". Great insight and highly informative! Thank God for Temple Grandin.
I love how Temple Grandin shows how proud she is of her accomplishments. She does it without seeming arrogant.
Best name ever!
1:32 I saw "The Weakest Link" one time. It was so disturbing, just how mean the host could be. She was horrible. I don't know her personally, so I can't say that this is her true being. What I can postulate, however, is that she was being this mean in order to get ratings.
What this informs us is that our society, as a whole, approves of crushing weaker people. It approves of bloodbaths and throwing the homeless to the lions.
This is why I did not watch any of these shows, either.
Now, we've got the star of "The Apprentice" as our president. This is someone who was also cruel on his show [based on clips], but now we understand that this cruelty is a part of his inner essence and being.
I think it also shows just how low the general self-esteem of America is right now. When Donald Trump fires someone on his show, people get giddy.
Why?
It's partly because it's not them [the viewers], and they sincerely believe that it would never be them. It's also because when someone gets knocked down a peg or two, the viewer sees this as themselves being BUMPED UP a peg or two.
They need this because their self-esteem is in the toilet.
No president can change this. No television show would try to change this, as it would be bad for ratings.
Only the people can change it.
And people like to say that America is a "Christian nation." People certainly don't act like it. I'm an Atheist, but I've read the bible, and I know that this is not what Jesus would do. Not at all.
People should be ashamed, because we live in shameful times, and it's due to the behavior of the majority, who ironically enough declare themselves to be "moral." They are not.
DrumWild Yeah cause the 1800s,1900s were so fucking great weren’t they?
Temple, you and you family are great! Thank you so much for all you are teaching us.
Very much agree with Temple’s sentiments that we should help the weak. The biggest problem today is we want to put the weak in charge. That’s the opposite problem, and a recipe for disaster. The strong should be in charge, but the strong AND compassionate. And no one is innately completely strong or weak - everyone ought to be able to develop their strengths to be able to contribute despite their weaknesses.
why they put the weak on charge, im autistic like and I know they do that, its because they feel pity for them?
@@benthomas6379 I think it’s mostly that there’s been a growing undercurrent of resentment in society for a long time. Some resentment with good reason (when the strong are cruel and use power for selfish and destructive reasons) and some with bad (that the weak prefer to stay weak because it’s easier instead of work on themselves to become strong and rule/lead with the compassion they want to see).
It’s not so much an undercurrent now as it’s a flood, and because there is actually more power given to “common people” now than most times in human history, the mob of the weak throws its weight around and forgets to be the “compassionate leaders” they crave. Power corrupts ideals, especially if those ideals are mostly for show to begin with anyway.
And we humans are not actually as smart as we think we are and we fall for a lot of the same tricks over and over again (look at the rise and fall of pretty much every “empire” we have built and destroyed through our history).
@@abigailstone823 so what do you think?
@@benthomas6379 see above
She is an amazing human being..It`s really cool to see her on a show talking aout herself & her views... Definitley have to check out the rest of the interview,..
What an interesting person, big high five to the hour for putting her on..
wow, so you didnt like it
Autism spectrum is very large indeed and so please to find someone on TH-cam that had taken all the stigma out of it even if someone on the autism spectrum like me which has high functioning autism to a person that has aspersers syndrome..
I was tested last year with a young psychologist.
Richard
Exeter UK
3:40 really hit home for me, especially since psychologists of my youth were set on persuading my parents to label me as mentally handicapped. After being diagnosed with Aspergers we found out that it was still in my medical records, and there's no way to completely erase it. :l
i believe the same thing, especially when my son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 1 and 10 months. parents just need to give such kids the intervention that they need and hone the skills where they are good at.
Wow she is amazing I respect her
I have high functioning aspergers when my parents couldnt understand me temple grandin kind of explained my life if that makes any sense.
Freedom is sanity. Know thyself. Love Thyself. Be free
"That's so - yeah, you're absolutely right." He stopped short on quantifying what she'd said and instead opted for agreement.
He seems so cool to me... Like excited about life.
Yeah...she has great insight through here own development "issues" It's ironic because she's actually an incredibly wise person because she's listens and learns first, then reaches conclusions. Autism is a disorder, not a developmental issue, and that's something that took a lot of people a long time to know the difference between. If more people thought like Grandin, our world would be a much much better place. It's a good thing Zuckerburg heads Facebook...he is of the same mind :-)
Ugh she's fantastic
There is a very significant under-diagnosis of Autisim in ethnic minorities, and at the same time over diagnosed amount in people with a Euro background. I completely agree with you zadeh.
Susan Boyle is austic too.
laurie Hulsey actually, she has Asperger’s (which is on the spectrum but it’s not full blown autism). I also have Asperger’s.
And so is Sir Anthony Hopkins, Darryl Hannah, and Guy Martin.
i cant wait till friday this is gonna be an awesome interview
@Ecosse57 i've read about scientist who said the reason the autism gene survived is as you say "their purpose is unique" so instead of getting left behind they got recognition for being what they were ;)
Incredible human she is too.
I have just started reading Animals in Translation. Cool!
This woman is so wise!!
I have Aspberger's myself and she is a great influence to me.
So do I. She is truly amazing!
What I mean is that "mild" takes away any sense of it being it's own thing, something special.
Simply fascinating.
Wonderful Human being....to say the least.🥰
I have massive respect for this great women
Mild autism, social rules and keep growing all of the time. In the 50s social rules were structured and values were taught, polite and kind to animals. Make real improvements is key!
I honestly wonder if she was offered the role Claire Danes ultimately got. Seems to me Temple could've actually played the lead role her own self. A good director would know exactly how to approach her to get a solid performance. And she's got the energy to be a great screen presence... Would've been quite interesting to see.
That would have been a bit hard for age purposes - the movie was based on her teenage years/20s, while the real Temple Grandin was in her 60s when the movie came out.
+lexi219 Make up! LOL! I'm Temple's age so, yeah, I couldn't play me at 20. LOL!
Temple you´re amazing !
Ahhhhhhmazing!!!! So brilliant.
i think he said thats so great
this woman is angelic, I absolutely love her
Such an amazing person
I have aspergers to me it is a case of ying and yang. As a child i was probably like dennis the menace. People are equaly smart, each person just excels and lapses in diferent areas. As i got older i became a social interaction sponge. I love learning how people behave and interact. But for me to be social i have to conciously revise these things. I hate when people don't like me just because i forget to be social. I am not a bad person just forgetful
She is just simply amazing I look up to her :)
She is a fantastic person.
dr. grandin is keeping it real!
Omg how did I never hear about this lady
Amazing, she's very fascinating.
She is amazing.
Gates. Einstein. Jefferson. Lincoln. Tesla. Turing. Franklin. Bell. Jung. Isaac Asimov. Daryl Hannah. Dan Akyroyd. Marilyn Monroe. Asperger himself. All obviously autistic; all undeniably successful.
"Normal" is relative....a proper term to use to describe someone who is not on the autism spectrum is "typical"...normal is a matter of opinion.
@chestercooner He really is a fantastic interviewer, but he didn't have to do too much here. Temple had her bullet points and she was hitting them all.
I somewhat agree since the term mild Autism can refer to an actual case of mild Autism or a higher-functioning Autistic disorder, such as Asperger Syndrome. But, technically, by saying mild Autism is bad you're also calling Asperger's bad, since it's considered mild Autism. I understand, what you're saying though, and I agree.
She is fantastic.
so great!
She is awesome!!!
I think he said "That's so..." and a mix of great/yeah.
I just love Temple - she is my icon
Neither of my kids who are highly functioning n 1 that has graduated with a reg diploma and is going to college, nor my youngest son has ever done the waving of the hands not even a little. everyone is different.
SHE IS SUPER COOL!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She's sure as he11 my idea of gorgeous.
Her name sounds like a Japanese Game show
+Rod Salka p4p Legend Haha The Grand Temple :D
@aussiemumism Forgot my s....She's 100% right... As a mum of an austic son, Temple is an inspiration!!!
since she got older she learnt to cultivate 'normal' mannerisms.
i've came to terms that i with my anti social aspie tendencies that i need to really be somebody and/or make a lot of money some day to really be accepted by people genuinely or not. if i was able to communicate better with others and feel a sense of belonging i wouldn't try as hard to become successful
I love her! She is amazing; outstanding!
at 3:02 that is so true
I Really Like The Video Animal welfare expert & autism advocate TEMPLE GRANDIN talks about overcoming her autism, the role of good old-fashioned values, and the HBO TV movie about her life From Your
I Love Her.
the movie of her was good
love her!!
1:14 an astute observation. there is a great hazard in having too “soft” of an approach with children with disorders and disabilities. certainly, we should care for these children (and all children) with compassion, kindness, and patience, but not at the cost of their own maturation and positive functional development. the “nerfed up” approach often hinders these kids even more - trying to to keep them in bubble wrap and indulging the negative aspects of their disorders rather than helping them with firm but kind discipline and structure so they can gradually develop self-control and self-regulating and eventually function and thrive in the real world. of course, the solution for too many people is to now try to bubble wrap the “real world” for us as well because we grew into an entire generation that cannot cope with harsh reality. this is a recipe for disaster for the entirety of our society and by extension the world. it will all course correct in the end, but at a pretty high cost the way we are going.
shes excellent bravoooo
