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.

More quotes by Temple Grandin
The animal that I have worked with the most is beef cattle, so that's my favorite animal, but I like all animals.
Temple Grandin
The most important thing in a shelter is that volunteers, especially with dogs, come in everyday, take that pet out for an hour of quality time.
Temple Grandin
Well the dog that is the most is the a Labrador retrievers because they tolerate kids tugging on them and things better than other dogs. They are a real good natured. They’re also real calm and sometimes when working with autistic children that’s probably more popular dog breed - now there are different ways to use service animals.

If by some magic, autism had been eradicated from the face of the Earth, then men would still be socializing in front of a wood fire at the entrance to a cave.

Autism is part of who I am.
Temple Grandin
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.

The dog is more social. I am not saying that cats are totally unsocial but dogs are more social.
Temple Grandin
I am much less autistic now, compared to when I was young. I remember some behaviors like picking carpet fuzz and watching spinning plates for hours. I didn't want to be touched. I couldn't shut out background noise. I didn't talk until I was about 4 years old. I screamed. I hummed. But as I grew up, I improved.
Temple Grandin
Us visual thinkers like me, be good at things like industrial design, graphics, art, those kind of jobs.
Temple Grandin
I'm seeing too many kids where they get fixated on their own autism. I'd rather have them get fixated that they like programming computers or they like art or they want to sing in the church choir or they want to train dogs, you know, something that they can turn into a career.
Temple Grandin
I think one of the worst things schools have done is taken out all of the stuff like art, music, woodworking, sewing, cooking, welding, auto-shop. All these things you can turn into careers. How can you get interested in these careers if you don't try them on a little bit?
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
People are always looking for the single magic bullet that will totally change everything. There is no single magic bullet.
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
The most important thing people did for me was to expose me to new things.
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.
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
The squeeze machine is not going to cure anybody, but it may help them relax and a relaxed person will usually have better 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.
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.
