  • As a person with Asperger Syndrome, I am inspired by this woman.

  • I Love The Video A Conversation with Temple Grandin It Can Increase My Knowledge

  • Steady I Really Like This Video recently held the Chicago premiere of the new HBO Films production, "Temple Grandin", which depicts the life of animal scientist and autism icon Temple Grandin

  • Your Video recently held the Chicago premiere of the new HBO Films production, Temple Grandin Is Very Useful Sharing

  • I wished people who has nothing to do with autism, did understaind what she is telling! I think she is verry good and she helps me a lot.

    Mom of 2 autistic sons

  • I have autism and she is so inspiring!

  • My son is 3 and Autistic and Temple is such an inspiration ....it gives hope knowing that my son has the chance to be amazing just like her.

  • @msartlit im over ten years younger then 23 and i go grocery shopping. I just walk to the nearby store. I always fold my laundry- i have since i was 7. But i dont have a job- lol too young! ;)

  • @dshplS: That's not necessarily true! My son is autistic. I don't like saying he "has autism" because it sounds like he's afflicted with something, but autism is who he is! He will always have it & it's part of what makes him so unique & special. He not "afflicted" with some horrible disease. He's autistic! And I love him just the way he is!

  • I am 37 with Asperger's. I've made 79 puff quilts without a sewing machine in 6 years for Free. It's important for adults with asperger's to know that the world will accept what we have to offer, we have only to offer it, much as Temple Grandin has done. The more we speak out, the more children will understand that having Asperger's is having a Superbrain. Look what we can do...then to the child..What can you do? Show me, I Love you Baby (my son is 7 with Asperger's, too)

  • Holy crap!!! THIS WOMAN IS A GENIUS! She's very descriptive about what she's experienced and learned.

  • I have worked in a variety of special school. Alot of the work I have done has come from Temple's instruction. Deep pressure - aka her hugging machine strategy, is used daily in every school I have been in. Every child who is on the austisic spectrum is different, every single one of them. I could say that each one is a gift as well but you all already know that ;)

  • that interviewer obviously hasnt a clue about austim!!!! Thank you Ms Grandin for being an inspiration

  • i love, i am autistic

  • this is ok movie..watched the full movie in webmovietube for free

  • @cheryklemish95  su quale LINK???? grazie

  • I actually heard her speak a few weeks ago in Vicksburg, Mississippi. A truly remarkable woman. From one Aspie to another, she truly is inspiring.

  • Temple Grandin is a very inspirational lady.

  • njoyed this great movie in webmovietube

  • Temple Grandin - there's nothing wrong with being different. She is incredibly smart.

  • Note that she's talking to the camera and NOT to the interviewer. She's amazing.

  • Your kids are star childrens.Talk them metaphysics principles

  • Thank you, Dr. Grandin, my son has Asperger's and is highly intelligent and I am learning how to engage him, slowly, this is very new to me.....and listening to those who are now a part of society and have Asperger's encourages me

  • this is amazing advice for kids without autism too

  • She is just amazing!  I love her.

  • It's good ta know that there r those AS kids outthere that r gettin the help.I was raised by my paraplegic grandmotha,bless her, along wit both my brothers in Canarsie wilse my moms was in & out the loonie bin an pops is waistn in the jack.Im 19 now an iv'e had 5 different jobs since i was 12 years of age.I just got the dignosis bout a year ago

  • It was a requirement in HS to read "Thinking in Pictures" and since then, I have followed Dr. Grandin. Dr. Grandin learned some basic skills that "normal functioning" persons do not posses i.e., getting to work or school on time! SHe does not appear as flighty as Claire Daines portrayed her however I still enjoyed the movie.

  • After hearing Temple actually talk as opposed to the actress in the movie I feel I can no longer tolerate the movie. I understand what they were trying to do but the actress who portrayed Temple sounded like some bewildered chicken and almost had a few of the mannerisms ta boot. I figured it had to be close to the truth, since this was the kind of movie where tasteful depictions were crucial to it's delivery, but it just doesn't seem that way.

  • @TheJMachine

    its possible that she's getting older now and she has more experience of talking in public than she was in her younger age.

  • @TheJMachine You have to remember that the real Temple is now older then her character version is in the film. I think she has more experience now in talking in public/for interviews, her voice may have calmed down, so to speak :-)

  • @TheJMachine Because she's being in the public eye for such a long time she's able to be a lot more talkative, heck she's a professor at a University in Colorado. It's not surprising that she isn't a "bewildered chicken" anymore. As for the film I thought it was dead on, I can't bare most biopics because it's all crying no show. In the biopic it actually shows what she did and why she's such an incredible woman. The only other film I've seen that did that was probably Milk.

  • @MsUmlaut

    Chris Chan is already a lost case. Damaged goods. Even professionals would have a very hard time merely IMPROVING him, even if he WANTED to cooperate. And Chris Chan will end up in a mental institution sooner or later.

    However, what ms.Grandin says does really help autistic KIDS. It doesn't garantuee their success at adults (nothing can GARANTUEE that.), but it seriously improves their CHANCE at success as adults. And that is very important.

  • i love the movie

  • politicians should be autistics.....

  • This movie made it possible for my b/f to take in the information. Not only is a movie visual to begin with, but it showed her thoughts in visual ways as well. My b/f is an undiagnosed Aspie and I love him, but I cannot make everything in the world intelligible for him. I just don't have that kind of dedication. I have my own life to live and things to concentrate on. I wish there were teaching videos for Autistic adults - not just children's care-givers.

  • I am now teaching an autistic child one on one (never had experience with it before. THIS video interview has taught me so much (including which areas to focus on).

    Thank you.

  • ...wonderfulll!!!!!! ...and claire danes made a such a good job!

  • I wish politicians spoke in such a plain, direct, substantive way.

  • Claire Danes did great because she did it right! She didn't go full on tard. Actors should never go full retard because it just NEVER works. Rosie O'donnell was a comlete mess when she did "Riding the Bus with My Sister". Big mistake. Sean Penn made a huge mistake and made all the other actors on "Sam I Am" look so uncomfortable and embarrassed. You can only go partial retard, like Temle and Rainman.

  • @Nicbookworm29 Autistic people aren't "retards" or "tards"...maybe read a book and figure that out before you spew dirt like this comment!

  • @tomcatgary1980 Agreed! There ARE retarded (mentally challenged, whatever you like) autistic kids, but to put them all in one general group is unfair. My brother is on the spectrum, and he's pretty brilliant. A lot of autistic kids are very intelligent.

  • @Nicbookworm29 you're the tard, not only because the movie is actually called "I Am Sam" but because you are like society and don't understand the difference between mental retardation and autism. Get educated. Autistic people are brilliant and beautiful- "different but not less." Recent studies have actually shown the have more neurons in the front of their brain making them smarter than us. You're an idiot and shouldn't speak unless you get the facts.

  • I love you Temple. ^^

  • Temple your an Amazing Person

  • Temple is absolutely correct regarding what ALL children need today to make healthy transitions to adulthood. I just completed my BA and am in a post-graduate program. Some of my classmates who are at minimum 23 years old have never held a job, done their own laundry, or gone grocery shopping and they do not have ASD's.

  • remarkable woman! remarkable film!

  • She makes lots of hand movements. But dang! She's smart!

  • Sounds like T. Grandin was raised right. I think that her parents helped her a great deal. Parents these days are too permissive and use their children's diagnoses as an excuse to let hem do whatever they want and however they want. These parents' laziness only makes life harder for their kids as they get older.

  • @KennyandGretel I would "thumbs up" this a thousand times if I could. You are so right.

  • 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.

  • So thrilled that Claire Danes got the Emmy for her performance of this amazing woman! Can't wait to get the DVD.

  • Highest esteem and honor to Dr. Grandin. She is well one of the most important people of our time.

  • Danes deserves any prize for her acting , just watched the movie and now i found this . it's like listening to exactly the same person.

  • The pink,

    Of course she's ridiculously smart! People with Autism are above and beyond smart!

  • quite inspiring :)

  • just finished her book "Thinking in Pictures" ..what an amazing woman! wonderful insight into how to teach people with autism life skills and socialization!! Thank you for sharing your story and giving people who work with autism a way into the mind of a person with autism.

  • What a great and wonderful woman!

  • she is awsome

  • She's so smart and she's autistic I'm impressed by her she's awesome!! 5 stars!!

  • inspiring..

  • I'm glad I was taught well at a young age.

    People can't even tell I'm autistic.

  • she has really influenced me. I am retarded and I am proud now.

  • excellent interview- good job- and her responses are brilliant

  • Doesn't this make you think you should never stereotype anyone?

  • Very honoured to have heard her speak recently - her intellect is awesome! She gives such practical advice, and is such an inspiration to parents of autistic children. Hope she keeps going for many years to come!

  • I met Temple today! It was amazing! She's really awesome. She signed a copy of her book I got

  • wow! what an inspiration

  • My gosh, she's AMAZING, and this is my first time learning about her. :)

  • Dr. Grandin was one of my teachers at Colorado State University

  • Comment removed

  • I take my hat off to this young lady. A great cowgirl and a grear Animal Specialist with those cows. Thumbs up to Dr. Temple Grandin as the bravest lady in the whole world. May the HORSEPOWER be with you.

  • I loved this movie and Claire Danes did an incredible job. I have worked with autistic children all over the spectrum and this is such a great story of what the human spirit can achieve.

  • @MrJessesm My cousin is autistic and I just love him! He's really into the civil war, Elvis and any kind of movie. He can act out scenes from all kinds of movies and he's just so loveable. I have also had very in depth philisophical converstaions with him.

    Temple is awesome! I have seen a lot of autistic kids who aren't really developed or understood. It just seems like some parents are overwhelmed and clueless as to what to do.

    Do you think diet is key for autistic kids as well?

  • @MrJessesm if you really did work with children with autism you'd know that it is improper to call children with autism "autistic"

  • I just watched the HBO film & I'm fascinated by her. Truly one of the great minds of our time.

  • I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!! I wish the school board in FL where I live would listen to her. They think 2.5 hrs a day of preschool is fine for those with ASD when they are verbal.

  • Im a fan!

  • I'm completely inspired by Ms. Temple.. I have two loved ones with some form of Autism. My nephew has the classic autism, and he's progressing beautifully. My fiancee has mild Aspeger's.

  • I Love Ms Temple.

  • I really enjoyed this movie! Thank YOU Temple and all the others that were a part of making this movie a success!

    My daughter is steadily improving thanks to you and many others like you! God bless you back!

  • people with autism can teach us patience, our society couldn't get too much of that. You go Temple Grandin, some of us will learn from you and others won't care but continue to try to help us help you guys.

  • wow! i'm just like her. when i was little, i used to have autism but now i don't. she really inspires me about life. Temple Grandin is my role model! =)

  • Dang...she is ridiculously smart.

  • @ThePINKwithasplash She is a doctor. They don't just hand that out.

  • Thanks to TAP and Dr. Grandin for posting this important interview. As a parent I especially appreciate Dr. Grandin's advice that a great teacher who is intimately involved with a child is the most important thing. Often we are so worried about locating (and affording!) the best treatment strategy; but as Dr. G. mentioned in the panel discussion, the best teachers can be successful by choosing parts of different methodologies and using them when appropriate for the student. thanks again!
