More quotes by Temple Grandin
People on the autistic spectrum tend to get fixated on what they think.
Temple Grandin
I think there's some kids that need to go from being a child to being a grown-up. You get out in the tech communities, the parents just apprentice their kid into the industry and they just skip being a teenager.
Temple Grandin
If I did not have my work, I would not have any life.
Temple Grandin
The world needs different kinds of minds to work together.
Temple Grandin
There tends to be a lot of autism around the tech centers... when you concentrate the geeks, you're concentrating the autism genetics.
Temple Grandin
People wouldn’t have become who we are today if we hadn’t coevolved with dogs.
Temple Grandin
I can remember being bullied and teased. It was absolutely horrible. I got kicked out of ninth grade for throwing a book at a girl who teased me. It was absolutely terrible.
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'd rather have a kid come up to me and tell me that he loves dinosaurs or he loves airplanes or he likes training dogs or I like Shakespeare. I mean, just something.
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
I'm pure geek, pure logic.
Temple Grandin
I played around with vegetarianism back in the '70s. One thing, my physiology just got to have animal protein. I get hypoglycemic, I get all light-headed unless I eat animal protein.
Temple Grandin
The dog is more social. I am not saying that cats are totally unsocial but dogs are more social.
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 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
I'm a visual thinker, not a language-based thinker. My brain is like Google Images.
Temple Grandin
You have to get autistic kids out and expose them to things, but do this without any surprises, so they know what to expect. You have to find skilled mentors to teach them things. For me, it was an aunt, and it was my science teacher. You need to find the things they're interested in and good at and expand on this.
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
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.

Sometimes you have to go outside your field of study to find the right people.
