Temple Grandin at TED2010

  • Speaking at TED2010
  • February 2010
  • Long Beach, CA

The world needs all kinds of minds: Temple Grandin, diagnosed with autism as a child, talks about how her mind works -- sharing her ability to "think in pictures," which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case that the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky kids.
