TEDxDU Temple Grandin -- Different kinds of minds

A tireless advocate for people who think differently, Grandin makes the case that we need the collaboration of all kinds of minds to solve problems, prevent disasters, and accomplish objectives. Diagnosed with autism and someone who "thinks in pictures", Grandin sees the value in every individual's ability to make a contribution. See complete bio and view all TEDxDU Talks at www.tedxdu.com.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

LOL @ "I wanted to give the movie to everyone, but we couldn't figure out how to order it from the Borg at the Time Warner building." I can't believe no one laughed at that.
