Talk Like a Mother: Parenting Autism Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
We had the fantastic opportunity to speak with Dr. Temple Grandin. We are in awe of her wisdom and learned so much not only about her path in this world but the path our children take. A life-changing experience for the five of us at the Table. We discussed sensory input, the frustration around communication, giving limited choices, transitions to adulthood, and how when you are looking for nothing, you might see everything.
Dr. Temple Grandin is a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. Facilities she has designed for handling livestock are used by many companies around the world. She has also been instrumental in implementing animal welfare auditing programs used by Mcdonalds', Wendy’s, Whole Foods, and other corporations. Temple has appeared on numerous TV shows, such as 20/20 and Prime Time. Her books include Thinking in Pictures, Livestock Handling and Transport, and The Autistic Brain. Her books Animals in Translation and Visual Thinking have been on the New York Times Bestseller List. Temple was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in September 2017 and, in 2022, was named a Colorado State University Distinguished Professor.
"Single most important picture that the Hubble took, and I learned about the story behind, and I wrote about the story behind that and wrote about it in my Visual Thinking Book. The scientist who did that wanted to take 10 days of precious observing time and point the Hubble at nothing, at nothing, and reviewers went you can't waste time doing that. When he pointed it nothing, he saw everything." Temple Grandin
