5. Don't forget to check her out on TEDtalks
Edited on Fri Oct-08-10 10:29 AM by txlibdem
She did an informative talk on the different kinds of thinkers and how that relates to Autistics' and Aspergers ability to excell in certain areas.
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/temple_grandin_the_world_needs_all_kinds_of_minds.html

Her point: We need all kinds of different thinkers to successfully attack all the problems facing society today. NT's do not possess the ability to see the pitfalls or the necessary level of detail.
