It is a honor and privilege to hear Dr.Grandin speak.
I LOVE this lady. She is a genius of the first order.
As an autistic teenager I find her extremely inspiring!
This women is awesome she didn't let her disability define her life.
One smart woman. While watching her interview, found myself nodding my head and saying out loud agreed, agreed, agreed. Seems to have the same style and humor as Joyce Meyer.
Heyyyyyyy..... I see it! ❤ I think partly the southern speech rhythm and teacher tone... But yes. Totally!
I'm 74 and recently diagnosed. I can resonate with all of this. I really could have been helped more throughout life. But now I'm being helped.
In Temple Grandin's time, there were more jobs for kids period. There were paper routes, housepainters used to hire teens, carwashes hired 14 year olds, you could wash dishes at the diner if you were 13. Nowadays it's impossible for teens to get jobs, especially in the cities.
Born into an impoverished neglectful family, tried to find work from ages of 7 - 18, old enough to work now, to late.
@@GoldBold563 Happened to me to. Was incredibly hard to get a routine in my mid 20s, even though I was capable if there had been opprotunities when I was younger.
Well, do volunteer work instead. I lead the youth group in our church, played in a band, etc. Got an internship. Yes, nowadays kids don't get paying jobs as easily. But they still can gain life skills that way.
I've only just discovered this Woman exists. She's awesome, wish i had heard of her before now.
She is my hero! She makes me feel like that I am not alone. Ive gotten a great understanding.
I too am autistic. I have Aspergers. So I dont hear things and see things like everyone else. I make reborn dolls. I have been made fun of because each one is important to me. After I put in their eyes especially, I can hear them speak to me tell me their name, their story.
On Ebay and ETSY people tell me they cant afford my dolls, but they love the stories.
I dont do it for money, I do it so I can do it. If I make a reborn I have usually spent more than $100 to do so. I need to be able to afford it. But I only charge the cost of the doll, the fee from the listing the shipping and a small stipend so that I can continue to do it 100% of the time and not be beleaguered by other expenses.
I am not popular with many of the artists because they say I set the bar too low and cause people to question their pricing. I cannot be bothered with that thinking. So I am not.
When I send out a package I also include some special gifts, like for my Magdalene Abby reborns I include the movie The Magdalene Sisters. With an Avatar I include the movie.
But I want to include Temple's movie. Can you tell me where I can get an affordable quantity of these movies so everyone can get one. I need this message to go with my dolls. It is important.
Do you have a website? I'd love to see your collection and read their stories.
I love Temple Grandin! And I am honored to be able to be in touch with her every three months! As I am an autistic person myself, she is my inspiration and my role model!
Overlooking skills is an understatement. My experience in the workforce is a lack of accepting that people might actually be on a higher plane than others around them, but because of bullying, misinformation, misunderstanding and rejection the person with aspergers in particular will struggle because it is in the foundation of learning that habits are established. It is not always about routine, it is about the environments which people have become familiar in . Perhaps teaching us to cope with change will be of more assistance than anything else.
Thank you Temple xox If it wasn't for you, I never would have known that I was also on the spectrum. I was diagnosed last year at 37 years old.
If I may ask, and if you care to answer. You made it 37 years perfectly fine without knowing of your disorder. Autism is such a broad thing. Letting knowing you have it mess with your daily life seems weird. We're all a little bizarre ya know?
It's ignorant to assume I made it perfectly fine without knowing why things were so hard for me, why I never fit in, why I was so suicidal, why I was afraid of people, why I was too sensitive to certain fabrics, why I couldn't sleep unless i had white noise, ear plugs, tranquilizers, why I needed a fan running, but not pointed me because it would hurt my skin..........YOU may think it's bizarre to want to know why you are different from others. Different to the point where you can't hold a job, can't sleep, can't hold friends, can't last in relationships, can't etc....... But I think finally understanding why I am so different clarifies every single thing in my life. It has helped me adjust my life according to the things I can handle, and it also helps me understand why I can't handle certain things. What is bizarre to me is someone who wouldn't want to know the unique things about them that also makes them different than every other person around them.
Do you block everyone that asks you an honest question?
I didn't block you so I'm not sure why you'd ask me that..
For some reason I cant respond directly. But anyways, In response to you I now know more about your struggle and I thank you for sharing but dont get me wrong, all people stuggle with something. My curiosity lies in how quick we are these days to diagnose things expecially on children. I remember being 8 and my mother taking me to get screened by a psychiatrist and he said I was attention deficit luckily I had the drive to rebel against treatment as a kid and I am fine if not better than I would have been. Now, looking back on kids I see daily they are all zombies because people assume things are wrong with people who are a tad different ya know?
you inspired my daughter to succeed not only with basic skills but also in the show ring with her animals!
SO inspiring! I love what Dr. Grandin has to say about how best to help children with Autism. It's all about giving them the tools to reach their fullest potential. Sounds like what every parent needs to do for their child--typical or autistic! GREAT interview Nancy!
I agree with Grandin. I dont think we should have removed aspergers. I have a daughter who has classic high functioning autism and then I have a son who has autistic tendancies, but because he doesnt have any speech delays and he is very social, the developmental doctor doesnt see that. But when it comes to sensory issues and his emotions, he doesnt know how to control them. He gets overwhelmed very easily. My daughter was very easy to diagnose. mMy sons us very mild. because of that Im wondering if he is not really getting the services he needs.
I have son too...The same like your,in sensory,no speech 10 y old.But we ar in Croatia and sistem is a week...They say that maybe not autism....???!
"I dont think my son is getting the services he needs" that's exactly why the high functioning and low functioning labels were removed. Not to mention what you see as "mild" is most likely masking. There's a reason it's called autism spectrum disorder and not autism sliding scale disorder.
"Mild autism" is a misnomer. Someone with "mild autism" still sees the world entirely different to a normal person and has many challenges keeping up the face of normality in society.
Emotionally moving and enlightening movie.
Always got time for Ms Grandin.
I've spent my whole life wanting to be somewhere else, but never knowing where that somewhere else is.
And whenever I arrive somewhere, I find myself wondering why I bothered.
With people: why don't they speak to me, and when they do, go away. Push/Pull.
Like living on a strange planet, I don't know the language, and when I see the way some people behave all I want to do is leave.
But I promise you're not alone! ❤ I have the same thing.... But just focus on the people who are kind... Remember them when the average people are on your case. Notice the difference in someone who's almost always kind and someone who's rarely kind. Then when an almost always is not perfect, you won't feel like running and hiding so much because you'll know they're acting out of character and just having a weak spot... And you'll not have to work so hard wanting to change the mean ppl. Or change the world. Just find the few. It's hard too because it's natural to want to fix the "cracks" but it doesn't work that way with humans. They're free to go on being dull and cruel. They probably don't even know they're doing the BS. They cannot see!!
I'm seeing her on Friday, January 25th and I cannot wait.
Excellent interview and she is absolutely right!
Pure inspiration manifested in a human body.
Holy shit everything she said here is truth. Mad respect
Dr. Temple Grandin you are an ispriation to to me. Hope one day I get to meet you.
Love her!
Amazing woman!!
Every word counts. Dr. Grandin, thank you.
This woman has contributed so much in to the austism community.
She is amazing! And speaking from listening to her experience and it clearly is based on her background has worked!!!!
Thanks for putting this up. Dr. Grandin has very useful insights.
just found this lady. I was diagnosed as having learning difficulty in the 80s and now I'm older I get what that means, but I think being treated as slow in school was the biggest factor in my schooling failing me. starting to think its time to flex my brain you have a new digital staler Dr. Temple Grandin
Craige we have a whole playlist of videos with Dr. Grandin.
I grew up with horses and showing and cleaning stalls and showing at quarter horse shows and, I would not be how I am today had I not been involved with that.. my anxiety and depression was so severe, and without my horse and dogs and responsibilities associated I would not function as I do today!!
She is just incredible well said
This is fantastic! What a brilliant and beautiful woman.
My son is 5 and was diagnosed with level 3 autism. The road has been hard for us he was 2.5 when Covid started and so the only option I felt safe with was virtual speech therapy because he wasn’t diagnosed with autism at the time. It definitely really effected my son and now I’m just trying to pick up the pieces and get him help and also myself because it takes a toll on parents especially when your on lockdown it caused lot of stress and anxiety for both of us.
Yes. You are not alone. I hope you can get services started to support you and him.
You are one of our brilliant minds, and I agree that to an extent as you explain, minds are not to be defined
Brilliant
Why do I feel like the interviewer is speaking to her as if she is a child?
Jamie Raymer Because she is talking to her like a child.
Jamie Raymer I feel like she's talking to her more in fascination than like a child. Do you see parents talking to their kids respectfully and asking them straight forward intellectual/inquisitive questions?
Jamie Raymer you’re imagining it. lol.
My granddaughter is 19. I've raised her. She has Asperger's. She got her driver's learners permit. I am teaching her to drive. She's doing absolutely awesome! I WILL NOT put her in a box and limit her. She's brilliant but guirky.😊I will see she goes far. I'm 64 and raised 3 children of my own. The Lord God and I raised her while I worked. The Lord God guided me/us and still does. To Him be the glory!
the thing is that now there are many people with high functioning autism who have been coddled, and pampered and become just as narcissistic as anybody else except people always give them a free pass. “ there is NO excuse for bad manners” isnt that one of the rules of TG’s mom y
that saved her!!!!!
7:28 amazing
I love this interviewer
That's the most sane attitude towards Asperger's I have encountered in ages. I should really start to say I have aspergers instead of autism. Screw the new DSM.
She is my idol.😊😍💕
Dr. Grandin, you're a wonderful inspiration for me. I have Asperger's Syndrome, and I sometimes think that people assume I'm more disabled than I really am. Do you have any advice for me?
Lable jars not people,man I married school in the 50's said ,he could be a garbage collection person,well he held tolerances of 50 mill,worked for arospace,all problems came to him✌️👍
I watched your movie and it was amazing!!!!!
If you have on autistic child and he/she wants to go to college, they should understand that getting a job will be almost impossible. I have a child that graduated with a bachelors degree in business administration and the only place that gave him a job was Walmart as a personal shopper. I have reached out to almost every single non profit organization and the department of disabilities and they just sent greeting emails and they don't help at all. Over all, I understand now that when companies and non profits make you think that they want to help, it is just a front. My young man is a highly functional kid and very smart but in the real world that doesn't matter if you are autistic. If you have money to put your kid through college that's good, but if you don't have that type of money I would be careful in getting in debt.
Why is the interviewer talking to her like this?
Michelle Aguilar its so annoying...
Humberto Cobian 😮
@@humbertocobian4740 This lady probably has a higher degree of intelligence in the dead cells of her finger nails then you have in your whole brain and you believe she needs to be talked down to like she is a toddler
What did Humberto say?
@@happypiano4810 don't feel the trolls (my recommendation only)
You alright, they are great
DARS that helps disabled - including those with autism - now has (at least in Roanoke, VA) started a new program for those "all over the spectrum" to be in a program that teaches job skills through art. I am a client of them, already. And, they just told me about this, yesterday. I start those new 4 month classes this Monday. So, please research this information via calling them, yoyrselves to verify this. Then, please update your information. Thank you.
great interview
Dr. Grandin is an amazing woman. I would love to see her be POTUS !
Awesome
Does this interviewer speak to other people like this? Seems patronising. She is not speaking to a child.
Strange Dog I know, like can she stop smiling at her like she’s smiling at a toddler? lol
Temple probably prefers one question at a time. She is helping Temple by being concise and direct. Get it now?
@@MrTonaluv The gestures and facial expressions don't really help her develop the question. It's like she's trying to attract the attention of a child. For some reason, you seem to think this treatment is appropriate. Frankly, it's insulting to someone as logical as Grandin.
Listen to what she is saying ! rather than the way she says it.
timeiswhat r
I stand corrected though I don't completely agree with Grandin. She says Aspergers was removed from the DSM-V. But why didn't she include the other 2 diagnoses which is Autistic Disorder (Classic Autism) and Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified? The DSM V did not exactly remove Aspergers or the other 2 diagnoses. It only combined the 3 diagnoses into 1diagnosis calling it the Autism Spectrum Disorder with all of the symptoms of all 3. Language deficits were removed from the Autism Spectrum Criteria, because there are a lot of other conditions that cause it besides Autism. And since I've got to know many with Aspergers and Classic Autism I soon realize that these 2 diagnosed groups in many cases have similar challenges and also a range of IQs from Intellectual Developmental Disorders to very intelligent and everything in-between. The DSM-V now use the Severity Levels for the Autism Spectrum Disorder. Apparently my neuropsychologist was using the DSM-IV where the 3 diagnoses were still separate diagnoses. But according to the DSM-V I'm now on the Autism Spectrum and is no longer a person with Autistic Disorder (Classic Autism. It makes a lot of sense to me that the DSM-V made these changes. But in the UK, Canada and other countries there are still 3 separate diagnoses.
True ending ♥
very very inspiring
sad thing is most nonAspergers/Autistic kids are not taught basic social skills like eye contact, plz, thank you , etc...by permissive parents terrified of being unliked. nothing says i love you like no.
I have autism too
The new DSM needs to come up with at least a couple different diagnoses, as she said. We wouldn't want to call it Aspberger's, per se, because of the dark history (Dr. Aspberger was a Nazi who developed criteria to determine which autistic people could be useful, and which would be exterminated). But, they could come up with another name for the condition. That would've helped my child tremendously. We couldn't get services because he had no speech delay. Ultimately, the delay in needed services has been devastating for my child.
Love the story I understanding of few things I never new great story. of this lovely lady in what true :)
There a lot of adults out
There that have autism but do not
Know it, I got diagnosed at 55 I'm 59
Answer a lot of questions
My parents brought me up the same way Temple's mother brought her up.
I wish someone tell me about my son's condition. He was diagnosed with autism and later with ADHD. He is smart yet some things,like for instance,algebra, is a bit difficult for him to understand. He needs someone to explain well the steps so he could understand. And it isn't easier with a classroom of almost 30 students. He was prescribed Risperdal (Risperidone) He says he has imaginary friends. At school,he plays alone. Sometimes he starts to laugh alone and I ask him why he laughs he tell me that he was thinking about funny stuff. He is in 7th grade.
Hi, I work with autistic adults. What you describe is very similar to a guy I support. We walk together everyday and he's mildly verbal, but he does make noises and often giggles and laughs out aloud. To people not on the spectrum this seems very peculiar and sometimes they can be weary stand offish or avoid. That's the bit that upsets me. A guy walking down the road laughing and smiling worrys people. But to him he shows no inhibitions to laugh out loud. He's immersed in his thoughts and they make him laugh so he does. Non spectrum people won't because they think they would get laughed at or society may ridicul them. Autism is fascinating and I love my job. But I also understand parents concerns. That's their little person and they want them happy and healthy. That's ok though for non spectrum people to want that. But learning to disconnect from society believes and values and this innate belief of understanding everything or trying too is our challenge. You may never find a concrete answer. I'm sure you do your best. Don't beat yourself up looking for it. Hang with them ask them things do things they like no matter how silly it seems to you. This may help them open up more. Sensory stimulants. Processing time anxietys. Particular ways routines repetitive behaviours. Likes dislikes fears pleasures. These are things you can learn and a good daily routine and doing things they enjoy. Avoid triggers. Things they dislike or worry about. These are things you both develop in time with better understanding. ✌️🤗
@@roddymac998 wow! Thank you very much. I love my son so much. The thing that worries the most to me is his future 😔. He says he wants to be a Dr. 🙂 But I can't stop wishing that I would like to be near him all the time to protect him because he is too innocent. In his previous school he was bullied. Thanks God in this new school he even has students that worry about him and help him. 🙂
@@morganix007 that's totally understandable you want to protect him. It's good he's at a school which seems to be able to support him properly.thats great he wants to be a doctor. If he's physically capable then that would be perfectly possible. It's all about developing confidence in both of you not just him. Communication with services he could utilise and develop his skills with them. I fully understand you will also need support . Even if it's just for advice from experienced people and even other autistic people who already function in soceity . That can be a great motivator for both of you. I hope you both achieve all the things you desire 🙏🤗
Thanks. Just so you know,I'm his father. My wife,his mother,is a Restrictive Cardiomyopathy patient,so she can't do much. But she do what she can.
@@morganix007 I hadn't really thought about guy or girl but thanks for the heads up. I hope you find good support. Sounds tough
Temple, please help. My friends grandson is 21, doesn’t work or drive. Stays in the basement playing video games 20 hours straight. Sleeps during the day. REPEATS over and over. Only comes out of the basement maybe once a week. Grandma says he’s no bother, no anger, but barely talks or communicates. She does hear him talking and yelling at night when playing videos. What can be done? Testing?
Just need stricter parenting. Haul him out of the basement, no allowance. He will be forced to work to make a living.

You sunshine 🌞💛🤗🤗🤗🤗
I wasn't diagnosed till I was in my 30s I was born In 1975 to a Hispanic family I was treated like a mentally ill child who should be beaten. I had a speech delay Also to do will being sexually assaulted as a 6yr old
انتى شخصيه رائعه حقا انا احبك كثيرا
And the interviewer does it: Talks to Temple Grandin, like shes a child. Why do people do that? It is so annoying!
I have pdd nos
yes yes I agree
6 :48 Literally?
So the first caveman who made the spear had as? Intresting.
In order to relieve symptoms of autism take an eyebrow
tweezers and remove the hair follicles of the body until the autism patients well
being and abilities are restored start with hands, feet, and wrist.
God bless you,

Fuckin angel of a human
I find the interviewer distracting in her facial expression and hand gestures. Dr.Grandin is awesome though
"We're becoming an autism nation" Ugh Ohh
At least that is what Tempo Grandin wants us to think. If you notice she uses the word "THINK" a lot because she can't back up her claims with proof. Tempo Grandin don't have a very good understanding of the DSM-5 either.
The interviewer is part of the problem. She condescending and speaking to Temple like she is a child. I guarantee her interviews with powerful politicians are completely different.
She continuously implied and contended that autistic people are completely different from normal people in every single respect, and when Grandin disputed the situations under which autistic people and normal people are indistinguishable, the interviewer yet again continued to nod in agreement but continued asking questions that already assumed the autistic experience to differ in the form of disability as opposed to alternative thought.
Autistic people aren't mentally retarded. They are the only "special" people that can consistently impress society with unexpected skills.
i'm not very expressive and tend to find it bothersome explaining stuff and end up having a hard time getting some of my points across
but mentioning autism seem to make some people assume they should approach me as if i was a child while completely neglecting what i say, seems like they double down on their lack of understanding.
lots of stuff about the diagnosis could be relevant but sometimes it feels like it's doing more harm than good.
I don't think it's a rare phenomenon.
The interviewer seems spectrumy to me.

The intervewer is awful as though she's talking to a child rather than an highly intelligent woman.
medical marijuana treats autism
TNTIV I agree with you. I was forced to smoke marijuana by 2 drug dealers that threatened me to smoke it and buy it. I felt nothing from it. I am glad I dont live in America: That country is all about money, organisations like the Illuminati etc. You pay WAY too much for medical treatment. Like 2000$ for a surgery that you need to live. My mother got surgery here in Sweden and stayed at the hospital for 2 weeks, she paid 20$ for everything. People even contaminate the drinking water in America so that you are forced to be sick and go to a hospital and make the rich even more rich. I got autism myself btw.
MrBlahOfTheFire illuminati called, they want you back
I have aspergers and I can confirm this. I smoke weed and it helps a lot with my disability, you wouldn't even know I have it unless I told you. And yes I do smoke illegally, but I couldn't give two fucks about that.
+Ongaku lol
+Ongaku Than you don't have a disability buster. You just wanted to find an excuse to smoke weed.
