What an exceptional guest! Professor Grandin is truly remarkable, and I value the straightforward answers and her wisdom she conveyed in this brief interview. I wish it could have been extended; I'm puzzled about why it was cut-short. Rarely, have I witnessed an interview led by two women that held my interest. What a treat, to see this on a Monday morning and save two snippets for my personal notes... pheww... Thanks for sharing the interview!
She gets it, and is one of our greatest advocates. You have to let us get there at our own pace. The parameters constructed by society are maddening. We all get there eventually, you just can’t force it, that’s when you ruin everything.
My son failed math, bc he wouldn’t show his work…even though he could do the problems, in front of them, in his brain, w/o paper. They insisted that he needed to show how he did it, so they could “make sure he was doing it right & understood it.” 🤦🏽♀ We took him out of school & started homeschooling him.
There are more than three types of learners who are autistic just like me. For some reason auditory learners and read/write learners are not talked about in this video about the different ways autistic people learn.
Thank you pbs for highlighting this jewel of a human being! ❤
Yet another example of why Rocky Mountain PBS is the best public television station in the nation. I'm a proud out-of-state supporter!
Wonderful interview. Thank you!!
Fantastic. As a parent to an autistic child, Dr Grandin is changing the entire world. I am so grateful. Thank you!

Thank you so much for having Dr. Grandin. She is an amazing woman.

I became aware of Dr. Grandin a couple decades ago because of my involvement in horse training. Her knowledge continues to be invaluable.
Love her she is awesome! My son is also autistic and he looks up to her.
Thank you!!! ❤❤❤

Now I know why I failed algebra and why when I got the answers right I wasn't able to "prove my work". I could visualize it.
I feel that!!

My grandson has autism and your videos and interviews and lectures have opened an entirely exciting new world for us. Thank you so much!
