"talents are like fragile flowers" YES. she's right, don't punish kids by restricting the expression of their talents. my parents did this and I lost my talents.
I've just watched the movie about her and it was great to find this video... very useful information, thank you very much! "It is just another door..." THIS is self control!... and Temple's life looks just as a result of her strength and will to give those words such an AMAZING power by REALLY believing in them. ... WONDERFUL..!
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 :)
@hyperbolaisagraph, I think you're wrong, vaccination and autism are directly linked because the vaccines contain heavy metal, which stick to the brain, which is the triggering factor of autism for a child who was susceptible to develop this handicap. The 3 Major vaccines are important, however the others are just pieces of shit.
@BioGirl33 I have autism. You're an idiot. The mercury salts used in MMR are no more a danger of mercury poisoning than people are danger of getting acid burns whenever they take a pill on account of a formula ending in "HCl". It's a good thing that science is based on evidence and independently-verifiable results instead of the fraudulent research of Andy Wakefield. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you can make up whatever fantasy you want to fit the void.
@BioGirl33 Andrew Wakefield (the so-called 'doctor' who created this BS MMR-Autism link) has done more damage to humankind than any other hack doctor in the world. His research was based on 12 individual cases, which is nowhere even close to being a big enough case study population and has since been rescinded by the New England Journal of Medicine and denounced by all doctors worth their salt. Research the idiot who came it up with this crap before you believe him or any other organization.
The thing I find most fascinating about her (and all autistic people) is the inability and inherent disinterest in forming complex emotional/social relationships. The woman is a bona-fide expert and font of information, but she's simply not capable or interested in bonding with other humans on any level. Temple's been quoted as saying "the part of other people that has emotional relationships is not part of me." Never married, honestly doesn't value or care at all about friendship or love.
@EntropicMisanthropic Actually, she and other autistic people are interested in emotional/social relationships. When she came and spoke to us, she said she enjoys praise from others and she really thrives on it. She may have a harder time interacting with people, but it doesn't mean she doesn't want relationship with them or love from them. I know people who aren't autistic who don't care to get married. I know people with autism who long for relationships, and some who are married.
@EntropicMisanthropic and my son has Autism and is very loving and emotional. I think it's a big misconception that people with Autism are incapable of love or uninterested in forming bonds with other people.
Is there ever any "concrete" evidence for Autism? Or is Autism just a label(disease we made up,) that we give people who act a certain way. And yes, from reading about Einsteins childhood he did seem to show a lot of characteristics of being what we call autistic. I personally think it is just a chemical imbalance in the brain or nervous system of some sort that causes this behavior that we call "autism." I guess that goes with a lot of diseases.
@CheddarBob39 If you look at brain scans, an autistic brain is actually larger than a "normal" brain, especially in the frontal lobe and in the area that controls emotions. (can't remember what its called at the moment) Also, if you compare at active brain scans of people in emotional situations, there is a massive difference!
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
I found a much better interview about Temple Grandin. It's 20 minutes so you can watch the whole. The interview at youtube URL /watch?v=3oc63WPCVHo&feature=feedu is much more helpful for a parent with autistic children, a person with autism or someone who just wants to find out more about Temple Grandin.
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!
I've had 40 years of experience with Aspergers. Bless Temple for teaching people that Aspergers and Autism can be thought of as being different...not wrong! Teach and train to a person's strenghts. Stop shoving concepts down a person's throat that they will never need. Everyone should get the elementary basics and then we learn to sort out for abilities (not disabilities).

Gotta say I only checked this out cuz I wanted to see what she actually looks and sounds like because I watched the HBO movie about her,but I quickly became interested in what she had to say and ended up watching the whole thing. I learned quite a bit about something I knew little about which is always good :)
My boyfriend is autistic. He asked me to watch this video saying "I learned something about myself." I love him so much and I would never change anything about him. He is perfect just the way he is. (:
@bukifuriku Hi, I didn't go out socialising as I always felt out of place. I also found things to talk about difficult too. Sometime my hearing is hyposensitive which means that I listen to what people say but sometime the message gets muddles and I don't understand what they say, so I just end up smilling and nodding but don't have a clue to waht I'm nodding at !!!
I always felt different to others at school and as an adult but did not know why. Then when my son was diagnosed as AS I finally knew why. I see so much of my self in my son and have taken a number of test which strongly suggest I am AS too. This was a result of watching this video and listening to Temple Granding and her experiences of growing up.
It feels like a huge weight has been lifted of my shoulders as I now understand why I was never interested in going out socialising.

Temple Grandin's books were a revelation when I was raising my young son on the spectrum. Raising horses taught my son empathy and responsibility. Early intervention starts with infants and face-to-face interaction. Forget the computers, get into nature, read Temple's books and remember the love.
You know, some people actually do grow out of it. I know I did for the most part. Unfortunatly though i'm 16 and still spin. I'm going to get some professional help when i'm older and can live on my own though. I know it's not going to just go away. When I do this so much pent up emotion/energy or whatever is released and I feel an empty okness again. Maybe this has to do with brain chemistry? idk it's really frustrating/embarrasing so i've never talk about it with my family or anything. :-/
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!
If you get the chance, read her book Thinking in Pictures. It's a brilliant insight into the mind of a high-functioning autistic individual. Her story is truly magical. I adore the book.
I got to see Dr. Grandin live yesterday, and as an Aspie that was absolutely wonderful! there's no "autism 101" like the version from somebody on the autism spectrum. For all the skeptics that cry foul and insist that the autism spectrum is fake, this is the most definitive proof there will ever be. This is something that simply cannot be faked.
A question that I have if anyone can help me is this. Dr. Grandin emphisizes the importance of early intervention, what I need to know is what are ways I can repair or cope with the consequences of the neglect and abuse I expeirenced throughout my life and what skills should I be learning? All my life I have felt like an alien and mostly people have told me to just get over it, everyone has problems.
my sister has autism, her writing isnt the greatest, but she draws what she's feeling, its like every drawing she does is her way of writing in a diary :)
Temple Grandin is a fascinating individual. It makes me wonder how many potentially brilliant, high-achieving people are out there that received poor support in their early development.
I can imagine that one day we may evolve (or be altered by genetic means) to an ideal point where our minds are able to work with the these higher performing verbal, visual, or auditory cababilities associated with certain autism cases without the same side effects such as stress and social problems.
@rdouglas41 well, most people are either amazed by our intellect, or, they just antagonize us.... We, on the other hand, really don't care about what people "think" we should do, but hey, thats why we, with asbergers, are noted to be inflexible and unadaptable.... But, even with this fact noted, we still don't care.... I think, the best course of action for us, would be to avoid antagonists....
@000Winter000 Autistic people are exactly that, PEOPLE. Some people are douchebags, some people are saints. Some autistic people are raging assholes, some autistic people are great people. Having a disability of any stripe does not automatically turn someone into an introspective, deep person, and it certainly doesn't mean they're automatically worthy of praise and adoration. Temple Grandin is an outstanding woman, but it's not because autism solely defines who she is.
@000Winter000 Not all people appreciate the same things. I love this video as well, but to say "Anyone who doesn't appreciate this is probably empty inside" seems to be awfully judgemental: just the opposite of the quality you praise in others. Odd, no?
I have Asperger's Syndrome and was diagnosed a month ago. I am very proud of my abilities with this condition. Dr. Grandin is amazing as well as Rudy Simone. They both are great inspirations to me. Joyce
@JoyceLynne1 I have autism from the vaccine I was non-autistic so I can smoke pot and get drunk, be more outgoing and do interesting stuff that normal kids do when I mean normal popular kids.
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.
I have asbergers. Can not stand it, hate my life, hate being alive, hate not wanting to be alive, hate being anxious hate not being able to explain it.
@george1punk2 The Aleph (1949)....We all have our required place in existence, once this is accepted alot of hindrances of reality goes away. Have the patience to keep looking my friend, never underestimate the potential you posses. L. Carrol aptly placed it as "do not lose your head falling down the rabbit hole". (Paraphrasing, lol :D )
I hear you, If there were a cure for Aspergers I would be one of the first people to line up. However I love listening to Temple, she addresses that its ok to have Aspergers, and that there is nothing wrong with being different. Its very encouraging. There are some great gifts that come with Aspergers, thinking outside of the box is one of them. Just take a look at people like Einstein, Michelangelo and Bill Gates. =)
When I read about the lives of the greatest artists & inventors, I find that many of them are not "family material." They don't socialize, don't marry or have families because they devote themselves to their work full-time. But if they were social & family-oriented, they wouldn't have time for their work, and we would be missing many great scientific & artistic achievements. I don't know how many of these folks were/are autistic, but clearly, autism can serve a purpose.
I am also on this scale.I did at one time see it in a negative thing.But now that I see my strengths and my talents,I wouldn't trade my autism for anything! I just herd about Temple.I wanna see her movie badly.
im adhd and have high functioning autisum, and man i knew i was different, temple totally understands the struggles and the hardships autistic children go through as children, granted i had early intervetion and senseory intergration,and speech therepy to learn social cues and i hated change, but i am thankful for all those things, becaused it has pushed me to go futher than the doctors thought. I am pursuing a BA in special education because i want all children to know i know what its like
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.
At first when I found out I had Asperger's Syndrome I was angry with myself for not being normal. I thought I should be punished ofr being a burden on others because I was so different. But now I am at peace with my Asperger's, and I love the fact that I can see the supernatural where others don't. It's frustrating but no one but ourselves can realize how incredibly lucky we are to see the world differently. :)
@JobecRichardson It's actually very frustrating the first two years after I was diagnosed. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was six and diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was thirteen. And I'm still a teenager. Sometimes I would be angry with myself, sometimes I would be okay with it and someone I would wake up one morning and realize "Oh my gods, I'm not normal." I still do, in fact. It's still hard but it does get better.
@FreedomSoarsTheSky I knew that there was something up like when i was 10, my parents just thought it was ADHD. I took a ADOS test like not so long ago, and that's when i got diagnosed. I try to embrace the fact i take a different stride at life, but it's kindda hard if you just don't know when to shut up or just have a hard time with the simplest of things.
@JobecRichardson Argh, that is the hardest. I remember talking about my obsession to a friend back in sixth grade. I kept rambling on about it (and mind you at the time she certainly did like the things I did) and while I was talking she cut across me and totally talked about a different subject to a different person. That's when it hit me and I realized not all people want to hear me talk about what I like. That's why I try to as unselfish as possible in public.
@FreedomSoarsTheSky Worse thing is when people treat you like your 5. The majorty of the time i'm proably more intelligent that most people who call me names like "Retard". I bet you've proably had that as well. I just hate the way people aren't open towards others. By the way, Sixth Grade is what year again?
@FreedomSoarsTheSky Ah i had the same. Bar my family, i have no borthers or sisters. But it ended for me when i figured out how violent i get when people can push me over the egde. You know how emotions vary, sometimes your emotions are really strong, sometime your just a blank slate. I hate the feeling of being devoided.
I love her ideaologies... a lot of things she says are so true.... children needed to be suported and mentored in what they love to do...I love to art, music and most of all, dancing! I saw her movie two weeks ago and I was so inspired by her. Temple did not stop and kept going no matter what others said. That is why she where she is today, revolutionizing animal science, the world of autism, and learning.
I'm not autistic but have a godson who is on the spectrum, he has Asperger's Syndrome. He is my inspiration to what I want to do in my life. Since I got to know him and watch him grow up, I knew I wanted to work with children who are autistic or have Asperger's Syndrome. I have decided to study Psychology so I can work towards becoming a ABA Therapist for children with autism or asperger's syndrome. I recognize that those on the spectrum are not less than us. As said "different, not less".
@MrsMKP You might want to rethink doing ABA because it basically is like teaching a chicken to sound like a duck, walk like a duck and act like a duck in the hopes it will become a duck which it won't. Furthermore ABA targets a person's stimming not the stress which often is the reason for the stimming so essentially when someone is put through ABA they are being told your stressed but so what your not allowed to do that which brings you comfort and pleasure.
Grandin's, without a doubt, advanced the way we think about children with autism well past light years... amazing. Here we are worrying about social skills and etiquette when we should've been looking at intrinsic sensory issues.
@Exclusiv3king She really has but she has also done something more important she has severally crippled the notion that you have to be "normal" to have worth and to do great things and also by crippling that foolish notion she has also weakened extremist and those who are peddling snake oil treatments so she has done a great service to all of humanity.
@blackstarzero I completely agree, blackstar. Those deemed less than normal are usually cast aside, either as "useless" or "lepers" ...even both at times. Grandin grew up in the 40's and could've easily been lobotomized for her autism (even if it was Asperger's). Thank God that didn't happen.
How she hasn't gotten a Nobel is beyond me; as you've alluded to, Grandin is certainly a credit to all of humanity.
@Exclusiv3king I really believe that people still do not realize the full extent of what changes have occurred because of what she has done and I believe that is why she is has not been given proper recognition as of yet, but no matter what happens she will one day get the recognition for all that she has done.
Free energy technology exists!But some very powerfull ppl don't want you and me to be free from energy costs,if you want a real Free energy Magnet Motor, get the blueprints at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the energy revolution!
@DeaneRenata You can pretend to be normal, in fact there is a very good book about Asperger's that *everyone* should read called "Pretending To Be Normal" but that is all it will ever be: pretending. The problem isn't with the autistic individual, but with the "normal" people who can't deal with someone being different than them. It's better to focus on the good things about yourself and the benefits autism gives (things like creativity) than it is to get drawn into negative thinking. Good luck!
Autism and Asperger's Syndrome are basically two neurological disorders (can you say mentally handicapped?) -- Well I am 23 but they told me I had it. The not knowing social cues, the wanting to play by yourself, also having the thinking and the judgment problems - may be a cause of Autism. Yes, I wanted to become "normal" too.
i was born with autism at its fullest, but capable of hiding it so doctors cant even figure out whats wrong with me, if i try to speak to them about it i cant find the words and i just say "i dont know" and they say "why do u always say i dont know are u trying to hide something?" not even doctors understand.
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.
@AutismIsMercury I see by your username you've been keeping up with the thiomersal theory for autism. :) I did some research on this myself. I hope some results do come through.
I learned SO much from her speech and this had a LOT of information in this hour and twenty minutes that is very helpful- she is an amazing person to have gone through this and is now helping others with the same plight.
Wonderful. Just wonderful presentation. Straight forward, clear, and wow did she cover a lot of ground. I'm so glad I saw this. Thank you for posting 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.
Well its not like i deliberately try to cause trouble its just that I don't have a normal brain. I got to live with it. it impacts my life. Sometimes when dad talks to me I can't even think.
Congrats Temple! 5 Emmy's! She also wrote the foreword on this new book coming out in the fall by Rebecca Costa. Temple is a hero to everyone dealing with Autism or who has a loved one who is Autistic.
Also everything she is talking about was originally part of Richard Bandler and John Grinder's work with Neurolinguistic Programming. But why should anyone ever give those quacks credit for anything
@herdondoozer By being oversensitive to physical stimuli, thinking in pictures instead of words, being unable to read emotions... Weren't you paying attention?
I have autism. Lots and lots of therapy led them to diagnosis me with aspergers instead. I always wondered if I could make some sort of shot (a painless lethal injection) for cows that would not be harmful to other animals. I dont like seeing them scared before going into the slaughter houses. Hopefully, I can do it someday.
I am also on the spectrum, and I can tell you that it is VERY real. However, I don't see it as a negative thing. I like having a beautiful mind, and seeing things in ways others don't. Dr. Grandin is amazing, and a true inspiration.
I spent 13 years as a loner. Most of my childhood, and all of my teenhood. I am 23 now and things have no really changed. When you have Autism I guess you are really self involved? Not sure. They think you are just supposed to automatically wake up and know how to talk to people. I think I need to take a socialization class. Oh yeah I am kind of quiet. I need to learn how to talk to people. Nope, it was me myself and I.
Very informative. I have always been interested in the subject of autism. It's especially good to hear from someone who has autism and is able to tell us what it is like for them. I suggest Ellen Notbhohm's book: Ten Things Every Child With Autsim Wishes You Knew. A lot Dr. Grandin talked about is mentioned in this book.
If Claire Danes does not win an Emmy for her portrayal of this amazing woman, then there is no god. Really loving watching the real person here, she's so much more deep and interesting.
Interesting because D. Grandin received the treatments for her autism spectrum condition that are only now becoming mainstream and allowing these children to function in the real world. Behavioral intervention and it must be EARLY. I like her emphasis on the benefits of "50's" teaching of manners as beneficial to autism spectrum individuals, very good point.
I fear that a lot of children who do not have autism is being medically incorrectly diagnosed with it.
Pharmaceutical, Doctors, Psychiatrists and various drug companies saw an opportunity to profit. Normal kids and adults having childlike tantrums and poor behaviour, and even normal withdrawn behaviour found normally in some children, is being medicalised and turned into a disease.
So keep this in mind because you may be treating your child for autism when in reality they do not have it!
@The1Antonio1 totally agree! Not taking away from those who really do have autism. Everyone has there quirks, OCD like traits, etc. Doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with them! There are introverts and extroverts, to each there own. Just because someone doesn't go out of there way to be social, or might do something alittle more obsessively then someone else, doesn't mean they need to be labeled.
isn't abilify a good medication for autism

Gotta say I only checked this out cuz I wanted to see what she actually looks and sounds like because I watched the HBO movie about her,but I quickly became interested in what she had to say and ended up watching the whole thing. I learned quite a bit about something I knew little about which is always good :)

@bukifuriku Hi, I didn't go out socialising as I always felt out of place. I also found things to talk about difficult too. Sometime my hearing is hyposensitive which means that I listen to what people say but sometime the message gets muddles and I don't understand what they say, so I just end up smilling and nodding but don't have a clue to waht I'm nodding at !!!

I always felt different to others at school and as an adult but did not know why. Then when my son was diagnosed as AS I finally knew why. I see so much of my self in my son and have taken a number of test which strongly suggest I am AS too. This was a result of watching this video and listening to Temple Granding and her experiences of growing up.
It feels like a huge weight has been lifted of my shoulders as I now understand why I was never interested in going out socialising.

Temple Grandin's books were a revelation when I was raising my young son on the spectrum. Raising horses taught my son empathy and responsibility. Early intervention starts with infants and face-to-face interaction. Forget the computers, get into nature, read Temple's books and remember the love.

I'm going to get some professional help when i'm older and can live on my own though. I know it's not going to just go away. When I do this so much pent up emotion/energy or whatever is released and I feel an empty okness again. Maybe this has to do with brain chemistry? idk it's really frustrating/embarrasing so i've never talk about it with my family or anything. :-/

I got to see Dr. Grandin live yesterday, and as an Aspie that was absolutely wonderful! there's no "autism 101" like the version from somebody on the autism spectrum. For all the skeptics that cry foul and insist that the autism spectrum is fake, this is the most definitive proof there will ever be. This is something that simply cannot be faked.

A question that I have if anyone can help me is this. Dr. Grandin emphisizes the importance of early intervention, what I need to know is what are ways I can repair or cope with the consequences of the neglect and abuse I expeirenced throughout my life and what skills should I be learning? All my life I have felt like an alien and mostly people have told me to just get over it, everyone has problems.

Temple Grandin is a fascinating individual. It makes me wonder how many potentially brilliant, high-achieving people are out there that received poor support in their early development.
I can imagine that one day we may evolve (or be altered by genetic means) to an ideal point where our minds are able to work with the these higher performing verbal, visual, or auditory cababilities associated with certain autism cases without the same side effects such as stress and social problems.

@rdouglas41 well, most people are either amazed by our intellect, or, they just antagonize us.... We, on the other hand, really don't care about what people "think" we should do, but hey, thats why we, with asbergers, are noted to be inflexible and unadaptable.... But, even with this fact noted, we still don't care.... I think, the best course of action for us, would be to avoid antagonists....

@000Winter000 Autistic people are exactly that, PEOPLE. Some people are douchebags, some people are saints. Some autistic people are raging assholes, some autistic people are great people. Having a disability of any stripe does not automatically turn someone into an introspective, deep person, and it certainly doesn't mean they're automatically worthy of praise and adoration. Temple Grandin is an outstanding woman, but it's not because autism solely defines who she is.

There are some great gifts that come with Aspergers, thinking outside of the box is one of them. Just take a look at people like Einstein, Michelangelo and Bill Gates. =)

When I read about the lives of the greatest artists & inventors, I find that many of them are not "family material." They don't socialize, don't marry or have families because they devote themselves to their work full-time. But if they were social & family-oriented, they wouldn't have time for their work, and we would be missing many great scientific & artistic achievements. I don't know how many of these folks were/are autistic, but clearly, autism can serve a purpose.

At first when I found out I had Asperger's Syndrome I was angry with myself for not being normal. I thought I should be punished ofr being a burden on others because I was so different. But now I am at peace with my Asperger's, and I love the fact that I can see the supernatural where others don't. It's frustrating but no one but ourselves can realize how incredibly lucky we are to see the world differently. :)

@JobecRichardson It's actually very frustrating the first two years after I was diagnosed. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was six and diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was thirteen. And I'm still a teenager. Sometimes I would be angry with myself, sometimes I would be okay with it and someone I would wake up one morning and realize "Oh my gods, I'm not normal." I still do, in fact. It's still hard but it does get better.

@FreedomSoarsTheSky I knew that there was something up like when i was 10, my parents just thought it was ADHD. I took a ADOS test like not so long ago, and that's when i got diagnosed.

@JobecRichardson Argh, that is the hardest. I remember talking about my obsession to a friend back in sixth grade.

That's when it hit me and I realized not all people want to hear me talk about what I like. That's why I try to as unselfish as possible in public.

I'm not autistic but have a godson who is on the spectrum, he has Asperger's Syndrome. He is my inspiration to what I want to do in my life. Since I got to know him and watch him grow up, I knew I wanted to work with children who are autistic or have Asperger's Syndrome. I have decided to study Psychology so I can work towards becoming a ABA Therapist for children with autism or asperger's syndrome. I recognize that those on the spectrum are not less than us. As said "different, not less".

@MrsMKP You might want to rethink doing ABA because it basically is like teaching a chicken to sound like a duck, walk like a duck and act like a duck in the hopes it will become a duck which it won't. Furthermore ABA targets a person's stimming not the stress which often is the reason for the stimming so essentially when someone is put through ABA they are being told your stressed but so what your not allowed to do that which brings you comfort and pleasure.

@blackstarzero I completely agree, blackstar. Those deemed less than normal are usually cast aside, either as "useless" or "lepers" ...even both at times. Grandin grew up in the 40's and could've easily been lobotomized for her autism (even if it was Asperger's). Thank God that didn't happen.
How she hasn't gotten a Nobel is beyond me; as you've alluded to, Grandin is certainly a credit to all of humanity.

@DeaneRenata You can pretend to be normal, in fact there is a very good book about Asperger's that *everyone* should read called "Pretending To Be Normal" but that is all it will ever be: pretending. The problem isn't with the autistic individual, but with the "normal" people who can't deal with someone being different than them. It's better to focus on the good things about yourself and the benefits autism gives (things like creativity) than it is to get drawn into negative thinking. Good luck!

Autism and Asperger's Syndrome are basically two neurological disorders (can you say mentally handicapped?) -- Well I am 23 but they told me I had it.

I fear that a lot of children who do not have autism is being medically incorrectly diagnosed with it.
Pharmaceutical, Doctors, Psychiatrists and various drug companies saw an opportunity to profit. Normal kids and adults having childlike tantrums and poor behaviour, and even normal withdrawn behaviour found normally in some children, is being medicalised and turned into a disease.
So keep this in mind because you may be treating your child for autism when in reality they do not have it!

@The1Antonio1 totally agree! Not taking away from those who really do have autism. Everyone has there quirks, OCD like traits, etc. Doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with them! There are introverts and extroverts, to each there own. Just because someone doesn't go out of there way to be social, or might do something alittle more obsessively then someone else, doesn't mean they need to be labeled.
