More quotes by Temple Grandin

I'm seeing too many kind of socially awkward kids that get through schools and then they can't hold a job because they haven't learned the discipline of get up in the morning.

I feel very strongly that if you got rid of all of the autistic genetics you're not going to have any scientists. There'd be no computer people. You'd lose a lot of artists and musicians. There'd be a horrible price to pay.

I'm a big believer in getting kids involved in things where there's a shared interest because that's where they can have friends.

The autistic brain tends to be a specialist brain, good at one thing, bad at something else.
