Tune in for this unusual presentation on autism by someone with autism. Animal Science professor Temple Grandin, who designs livestock handling facilities, discusses the value of early intervention in autism, and about medications. Other topics include her sensory sensitivities and how she manages them, how she and other autistic people think, and social relationships and careers. Series: “MIND Institute Lecture Series on Neurodevelopmental Disorders” [6/2007] [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 12868]



Some will remain profoundly affected, while others will advance, or were born more advanced. The difficulties are still there, but less pronounced. My family is full of Autism, from the very severe to Aspergers. I understand where you’re coming from, but I do disagree. There are differences in severity in most disorders. It is,however, unfortunate that the lowest functioning are often overlooked.
I hear what you’re saying…I’m sorry, I come across snappy about all this..probably because I’ve spent so many years isolated and trapped in this intense, insane world that I have a hard time understanding how high F autism has anything to do with what we go through….plus, I’ve seen too many kids diagnosed with autism that are clearly NOT autistic–aside from a few speech delays they recover from. All this, angers parents of severely autistic children, as to us: .autism is a serious disorder
i meant to do thumbs up srry
Temple Grandin is amazing!!! Screw all the haters
SHIT FUCKING BITCH DAMNET
Temple stated laptop computer light is better because the light doesn’t flicker. Apparently she doesn’t know that laptops use a fluorescent bulb behind the screen. Just like the 60hz tubes on ceilings.
Maybe it just doesn’t bother her as much.
@Resistoon
Not anymore, most newer notebooks have LED backlighting, making it flicker free, a whole lot more energy efficient, and brighter.
Did you hear her talk about the frequency? What is the frequency of the light in a laptop? Do you think she is lying? Ya fuckin’ stooge.
she is amazing.
Apparently you don’t know laptops use LED back lighting.
I wouldn’t say she is autistic. God prepared her for being significant in the society, and like her many autistic will follow. She just opened the door first in many aspects.
youtube users all have autism
I JUST saw the movie Temple Grandin,. IT made me cry because it was wonderfully courageous and insporational. Made me search her and find these clips on you tube.I think she is an angel of God sent here to have this, and share this so that HOPEFULLY, people will learn from her and I hope appreciate, and believe her. I think she is WONDERFUL !!
Im autistic, and I know my tinted glasses help out greatly. I didnt know other people couldnt see the flicker of lights, or hear the ringing of CRT TVs.
What I got from the Grandin video is that autism covers a very wide spectrum from severe to mild and can overlap with other disorders such as anxiety. Some autistics become more functional with physical and pharmacological therapy. The Autism and Aspergers debate is not what Dr. Grandin is discussing. More research is needed to understand how other disorders affect people with various developmental disabilities so that treatment programs can be developed to make people more functional.
I felt the same way after watching her movie. I can’t begin to explain what an affect she, and the movie had on me. I think you right about her being an angel of God. My friend’s son is autistic and I’m definetely going to have her watch this movie. Temple is an inspiration to all!!!
yes she is an ispiration to all!! she is trully a gift from god… everyone can learn a lot from her
@doggzilla1 I can hear the ringing of CRT TVs, in fact even if one is hidden in a room I can tell if one is on… Sometimes I can hear other types of electronics; I thought EVERYBODY could hear that, whether they were autistic or not?
Temple Grandin, I have all kinds of respect and admiration for this woman. She could just sit back and do whatever interests her but she continues to teach and help us and people with these problems. God Bless You TEMPLE!!
Temple Grandin is truly one of the heroes of the human race.
i’m not austic but sometimes i can hear them
Wait, you mean they can’t? I hear televisions all the time…hm.
@Lizsilas I forgot to mention…I am not autistic.
I can’t watch past 48:48 just thought I’d share…I would really like to finish watching this vid.
