Temple Grandin: The World Needs All Kinds of Minds (Part 1 of 3)

To mark National Autism Awareness Month in April, Colorado State University and Rocky Mountain PBS have teamed up to produce and air a documentary about the influence of Temple Grandin, CSU's world-famous animal scientist who has overcome struggles with autism to revolutionize farm-animal welfare.
The documentary is narrated by actress Claire Danes, who played the role of Grandin in an acclaimed HBO biopic.
Grandin's work as a pioneering expert in livestock behavior and humane handling is explored in the documentary. It describes Grandin's difficulties with autism, and the persistence she summoned to dramatically influence animal agriculture while also becoming a hero to people with autism and their families.
The documentary is part of the "Women and Girls Lead" initiative supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. "Women and Girls Lead" is a multiyear public-media initiative meant to celebrate, educate and activate women, girls and their allies to address modern global challenges.

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!! She is amazing and inspiring. If you haven't seen the film with Claire Danes, see it. It's wonderful. I am not autistic (I have bipolar disorder though), but my admiration for Temple is endless. She inspires me to try harder. Thank you, Temple.

Temple Grandin is amazing. I'm definitely a fan. So nice to see Bernie Rollin, my old Honors Science Biology/Psychology professor. He tuned me in to animal rights and I have great respect for him. Rock on, guys! :)
