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.

More quotes by Temple Grandin
Some autistic children cannot stand the sound of certain voices. I have come across cases where teachers tell me that certain children have problems with their voice or another person's voice. This problem tends to be related to high-pitched ladies' voices.

When kids are really little, they all look the same. No speech, no social relatedness, cannot emphasize enough the importance of early educational intervention.
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.

Animals make us Human.

Everything I think is in pictures.

I would never talk just to be social. Now, to sit down with a bunch of engineers and talk about the latest concrete forming systems, that's really interesting. Talking with animal behaviorists or with someone who likes to sail, that's interesting. Information is interesting to me. But talking for the sake of talking, I find that quite boring.

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

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.

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.

Some teachers just have a knack for working with autistic children. Other teachers do not have it.

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.

I've got a lot of people that are really good at taming animals and working with animals and they can't explain how they do. They just get a feeling from the animal.

People wouldn’t have become who we are today if we hadn’t coevolved with dogs.

One of the big areas I'd like to see a lot more research done on is the sensory problems, and it's real variable. One kid's got sound sensitivity another one can't tolerate fluorescent lights. I can't stand scratchy clothes.

A real common problem with a lot of animals is that guys are bad, hate to say it, but they will tune into some big feature like the glasses, maybe the beard, baseball hats, you know some unique feature like that. And they'll generalize like, Okay! All people with baseball hats or black rimmed glasses are bad.

My grandfather was an engineer who invented the automatic pilot for airplanes.

To understand animal thinking you've got to get away from a language.
