One of my sensory problems was hearing sensitivity, where certain loud noises, such as a school bell, hurt my ears. It sounded like a dentist drill going through my ears.

More quotes by Temple Grandin
There is three different ways that autistic kids will interact with animals.And they also need to make sure that they're not getting too rough with their animals - they need to learn how to pet the dog properly, they can't be pulling its ears and things like that.

My life - autism's an important part of it, but it bothers me when I see kids where autism and their autism is the only thing they think about. I'd rather have them think about, you know, some art work they were gonna do or some science they wanted to do.
Temple Grandin
What I've tried to do is combine both my personal experiences with scientific research. I like to cross the divide between the personal world and the scientific world.

People are always looking for the single magic bullet that will totally change everything. There is no single magic bullet.

I am much less autistic now, compared to when I was young. I remember some behaviors like picking carpet fuzz and watching spinning plates for hours. I didn't want to be touched. I couldn't shut out background noise. I didn't talk until I was about 4 years old. I screamed. I hummed. But as I grew up, I improved.

A treatment method or an educational method that will work for one child may not work for another child. The one common denominator for all of the young children is that early intervention does work, and it seems to improve the prognosis.

Us visual thinkers like me, be good at things like industrial design, graphics, art, those kind of jobs.

I'm a visual thinker, not a language-based thinker. My brain is like Google Images.

One of the ways to reduce that barking would be to have volunteers come in especially for hte for the dogs and take each dog out for 45 minutes each day and spend quality time with the person - that would help reduce the stress and in fact, one of my students did a study on that.

Some teachers just have a knack for working with autistic children. Other teachers do not have it.
Temple Grandin
I use my mind to solve problems and invent things.
Temple Grandin
I don't define myself as autistic first. I don't want to be a professional autistic. I think it's important to have a real job.

Research is starting to show that a child should be engaged at least 20 hours a week. I do not think it matters which program you choose as long as it keeps the child actively engaged with the therapist, teacher, or parent for at least 20 hours a week.

I'm pure geek, pure logic.

The squeeze machine is not going to cure anybody, but it may help them relax and a relaxed person will usually have better behavior.

If you start using a medication in a person with autism, you should see an obvious improvement in behavior in a short period of time. If you do not see an obvious improvement, they probably should not be taking the stuff. It is that simple.

Lets get into talking about how autism is similar animal behavior. The thing is I dont think in a language, and animals dont think in a language. Its sensory based thinking, thinking in pictures, thinking in smells, thinking in touches. Its putting these sensory based memories into categories.
Temple Grandin
To understand animal thinking you've got to get away from a language.
Temple Grandin
I think that the definition of autism is too broad. You got to remember, autism definition is a behavioral profiling.

Cats are great with clicker training. There's a great video you can get called Clicker Magic. There's a scene in that video where a cat is trained to go through a mini dog agility course - it's all done with food motivation and clicker training. You can train them to do all sorts of thing.
