More quotes by Temple Grandin
There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN do, instead of what he cannot do.
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.
Temple Grandin
As you may know, some of the stereotyped behaviors exhibited by autistic children are also found in zoo animals who are raised in a barren environment.
Temple Grandin
I'm a believer in biochemistry. But I tell people to try only one thing at a time to see if it works. And if you do give a powerful drug to a kid, it better have a big wow factor.
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
People can live up to high standards, but they can't live up to perfection.
Temple Grandin
The big companies are like steel and activists are like heat. Activists soften the steel, and then I can bend it into pretty grillwork and make reforms.
Temple Grandin
The dog is more social. I am not saying that cats are totally unsocial but dogs are more social.
Temple Grandin
You can't punish a child who is acting out because of sensory overload.
Temple Grandin
The squeeze machine is not going to cure anybody, but it may help them relax and a relaxed person will usually have better behavior.

One area of study that still needs to be done is the kind of autism where kids have speech and they lose it. Some parents say it's happened right after vaccines. That group needs to be studied separately from others.
Temple Grandin
we raise them for us that means we owe them some respect. nature is creul but we dont have to be. i wouldnt want to have my guts ripped out by a lion. i'd much rather die in a slaughter house if it were done right.
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.
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.
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.
Temple Grandin
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.
Temple Grandin
Us visual thinkers like me, be good at things like industrial design, graphics, art, those kind of jobs.
Temple Grandin
People need to learn how to work, learn how to support themselves. I think it's just fine to be eccentric.
Temple Grandin
Curiosity is the other side of caution.
Temple Grandin
here's certain things that are similar to cats and dogs. Dogs are just hyper social and they have a want to please you way more than a cat does.
