  • I think the under appreciated fact (by the public) is the support and encouragement his parents gave to have Daniel flourish despite their lack of regular income and his father's own health problems -- not to mention all the other siblings.

    The mother of Temple Grandin is also an amazing woman who spared nothing to reach into her daughter's enclosed world and helped a brilliant woman emerge.

    Most parents would have either given up or floundered in mediocrity.

  • "For all my eccentricities, the Lithuanians thought that it was just part of being British."

    As another Brit, that is brilliant :-)

    I think the same. My brother has autistic syndrome, and with my mother's and my efforts, he learned many things that doctors first said he can't.
