Reply With QuoteI love Temple's outlook and her ability to relate what it is like to have Autism and live with it. I have watched many of her lectures on youtube, an invaluable resource for parents and friends of people on the Autistic Spectrum.

Temple Grandin - Focus on Autism and Asperger's Syndrome
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgEAhMEgGOQ
Sharing a link I found on Autism and Aspergers which is apparently a very good source of information.
Lecture delivered by Temple Grandin, a noted expert and author on early intervention, educational strategies, visual thinking, social skills, medications and mentoring. Grandin presents around the world and is the author of several books including Emergence: Label Autistic, Thinking in Pictures, Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships, co-authored with Sean Barron. In addition to several DVDs, her recent release of Animals in Translation maintained a top 10 position on the New York Times best-seller list. Based on statistics provided by the Autism Society of America, it is estimated that one in every 150 children born in the United States has autism and approximately 1 million in this country have this disorder, which does not include Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), Asperger's and other spectrum disorders. A new case of autism is diagnosed nearly every 20 minutes, meaning approximately 24,000 new cases diagnosed in the U.S. per year.
