Lecture delivered by Temple Grandin, a noted expert and author on early intervention, educational strategies, visual thinking, social skills, medications and mentoring. Grandin presents around the world and is the author of several books including Emergence: Label Autistic, Thinking in Pictures, Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships, co-authored with Sean Barron. In addition to several DVDs, her recent release of Animals in Translation maintained a top 10 position on the New York Times best-seller list. Based on statistics provided by the Autism Society of America, it is estimated that one in every 150 children born in the United States has autism and approximately 1 million in this country have this disorder, which does not include Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), Asperger's and other spectrum disorders. A new case of autism is diagnosed nearly every 20 minutes, meaning approximately 24,000 new cases diagnosed in the U.S. per year.

    Amazing speaker! Brilliant and to the point. Much of what she says doesn't only apply to people on the autistic spectrum. Everybody needs to be understood, cared for, and have strengths built upon. We need to focus on developing the children we have and not the child we think we should have.

    Temple Grandin has given me much hope that I didnt have before that my son with Aspergers can and will grow up to do great things. Not understanding Autism scared me into thinking that it would be too hard for him. Thank you

    i hear music very well, and i usually focus more on the notes people make when they talk more than the words. sometimes its hard to make out words, especially when there are other constant sounds that interfere.

    I had my hearing checked as I could not hear conversations and everybody else could! Only now listening to temple do I find that a lot of other Aspies have the same problem.

    When I first saw this video about a year and a bit ago, this was just after being diagnosed with Aspergers, I took this video the wrong way because I did not know temple had autism, I just assumed she was like some person who thinks she knows a lot about something - making bold assertions.

    I was very wrong about her, I guess I was kinda rebelling in my own way, I still act very much like a teenager sometimes and I'm nearly 27. I saw the movie based on her, I found it inspirational, great video

    Awesome. She is so insightful and I love the way she trusts her OWN instincts about things instead of what so-called experts claim. I tend to do the same thing and it ALWAYS works better for me too. Nobody can know you better than yourself....except maybe Temple Grandin!

    I can relate to so many of the things she talked about. I wish I had known these things when I started college.
