More quotes by Temple Grandin
I get satisfaction out of seeing stuff that makes real change in the real world. We need a lot more of that and a lot less abstract stuff.
Temple Grandin
These diagnostic profiles like depression, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, it's half science and the other half is a committee of doctors bickering over what it should be, and it has changed. It's not precise like a diagnosis of tuberculosis would be very precise.

The reason why feral kitties are hard to tame is because they have missed socialization the period - you need to be touching and petting those kittens when they are real young.
Temple Grandin
It's very important for the parents of young autistic children to encourage them to talk, or for those that don't talk, to give them a way of communicating, like a picture board, where they can point to a glass of milk, or a jacket if they're cold, or the bathroom. If they want something, then they need to learn to request that thing.

People talk about curing autism. But if you got rid of all those traits, who's going to make the next computer?
Temple Grandin
I strongly recommend that students with autism get involved in special interest clubs in some of the areas they naturally excel at. Being with people who share your interests makes socializing easier.

Fear was my main emotion until I started taking anti-depressant medication. And I was one of the people where, as I got older, the fear got worse and worse. So I can really relate to an animal getting, you know, scared and traumatized.

The most important thing people did for me was to expose me to new things.
Temple Grandin
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.
Temple Grandin
The autistic brain tends to be a specialist brain, good at one thing, bad at something else.
Temple Grandin
To understand animal thinking you've got to get away from a language.
Temple Grandin
I feel very strongly that we need to give beef cattle a really good life. When they go to slaughter, it needs to be painless.
Temple Grandin
There are three basic ways [to use a dog to work with autistic children], one is just to be companion person and I'm thinking now more of autistic kids not somebody in a wheelchair or the dog belongs to a therapist and then it's used as an ice breaker to get the kid talking and get the kid interacting.
Temple Grandin
Just think about it yourself you don't want to put the [cat's] litter box down the basement because that's too far, on the other hand you don't want to put where everybody is traipsing in and out the back the door.
Temple Grandin
Sometimes you have to go outside your field of study to find the right people.
Temple Grandin
Some children may need a behavioral approach, whereas other children may need a sensory approach.
Temple Grandin
I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we've got to do it right. We've got to give those animals a decent life, and we've got to give them a painless death. We owe the animal respect.

Autism is part of who I am.

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.
Temple Grandin
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.
