Temple Grandin

Post Reply New Topic

Hey! I'm glad WP is back! We have a "Sensory Store" opening today here and I didn't even know about it. Some friends saw it and asked me if I wanted to go with them to check it out. I did! So, I go in and standing right there, being interviewed was none other than THE Temple Grandin! It was very busy in there so I didn't want to A) be awkward standing around waiting for her to be done getting interviewed, and B) add to any overwhelm with the crowd, but I was able to tell my NT friend about her. I wish I could have shook her hand and thanked her for all she's done to help the community. So, I'm putting that here instead. Thanks for listening! Wow! What a cool lady!!

Jealous! I'd love to meet Temple Grandin, I really admire her. I like that she discourages defeatist attitudes and encourages playing to one's strengths.

Thank you! She really IS amazing! I didn't actually MEET her, I just walked past her as she was being interviewed, but it was still VERY cool!

That is such a cool experience! I'm sure if I ever saw her, I'd be too intimidated to say hi. But I think that sounds great you were able to talk about her with your friend.

Yes!! You never know, my friend might just look in to her and read about or listen to something she's said. I feel like NTs everywhere should HAVE to listen to at least one of her lectures.
