temple grandin @ TED

TED is that genius conference they have every year
where people with IQs higher than measurable
something i will never attend no doubt
get together to share, learn, and grow
i love watching the videos online
this year -- temple grandin spoke
AMAZING

if you can, you really should
try to find the time and watch this
it's less than 20 minutes total

i'd also recommend "the woman who thinks like a cow"
a great doc about her life...BBC i bet its online 4 free
the HBO bi-op pic ain't to bad either
but this is HER in all her light
worth every second



Temple Grandin, diagnosed with autism as a child, talks about how her mind works -- sharing her ability to "think in pictures," which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case that the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky kids.
