I am different, not less
Temple Grandin
Autism's a very big spectrum. At one end of the spectrum, Einstein would probably be labeled autistic, Steve Jobs, half of Silicon Valley, you know, Van Gogh. And at the other end of the spectrum, you got much more severe handicaps where they never learn to speak.

People need to learn how to work, learn how to support themselves. I think it's just fine to be eccentric.
Temple Grandin
I use my mind to solve problems and invent things.

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 dog is more social. I am not saying that cats are totally unsocial but dogs are more social.

People on the autistic spectrum tend to get fixated on what they think.
Temple Grandin
Autism is an extremely variable disorder.

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.

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.
Temple Grandin
Social thinking skills must be directly taught to children and adults with ASD. Doing so opens doors of social understandings in all areas of life.
Temple Grandin
People are always looking for the single magic bullet that will totally change everything. There is no single magic bullet.
Temple Grandin
I tend to be much more in the present and my emotions are simpler. I can be happy, I can be sad, I can be depressed, but there's a complexity that I don't have. I don't brood the same way. Fear is my main emotion.
Temple Grandin
I think that autistic brains tend to be specialized brains. Autistic people tend to be less social. It takes a ton of processor space in the brain to have all the social circuits.
Temple Grandin
There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN do, instead of what he cannot do.
Temple Grandin
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.
Temple Grandin
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
Nature is cruel but we don't have to be
Temple Grandin
I believe there is a reason such as autism, severe manic-depression, and schizophrenia remain in our gene pool even though there is much suffering as a result.
Temple Grandin
You have got to keep autistic children engaged with the world. You cannot let them tune out.
Temple Grandin
