Autism is part of who I am.
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 squeeze machine is not going to cure anybody, but it may help them relax and a relaxed person will usually have better behavior.

When you take a drug to treat high blood pressure or diabetes, you have an objective test to measure blood pressure and the amount of sugar in the blood. It is straight-forward. With autism, you are looking for changes in behavior.
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.

If I could snap my fingers and be nonautistic, I would not. Autism is part of what I am.
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.

We've had several cats. I had a cat when I was a kid. My Aunt had lots of cats and I got lots of calls about cats.
Temple Grandin
Sometimes cats just avoid using a litter box but that [cat going poop outside the litter box but pees inside the litter box] is kind of strange. Most time people ask me why they go outside the litter box period.
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
The people that were socially awkward from my generation, they all had paper routes and that taught them the discipline of work.
Temple Grandin
You could train cats do things, a lot of people don't think cats aren't trainable. Cats can be trusted just a friend.
Temple Grandin
Who do you think made the first stone spears? The Asperger guy. If you were to get rid of all the autism genetics, there would be no more Silicon Valley.
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 am different, not less
Temple Grandin
There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN do, instead of what he cannot do.
Temple Grandin
People on the autistic spectrum tend to get fixated on what they think.
Temple Grandin
I think that the definition of autism is too broad. You got to remember, autism definition is a behavioral profiling.
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.
Temple Grandin
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.
