Dr. Temple Grandin | Great Minds are Not All the Same | Talks at Google

[@LoveColorado]

I have learned so much about life from Ms. Grandin and found her honesty soothing. I was diagnosed not long ago with Autism, and I am almost sixty. Before the diagnosis, so much of what and why I did things led to many days filled with frustration while trying to fit the mold of the corporate world. I am starting to find support opportunities. Unfortunately, my family, including my kids (early twenties), don't truly get it, which has been the most challenging part of navigating the world. On the positive side, my son has told me for years that I have a super-duper wrinkly brain but also care too much about the world around me, so there's that. LOL

I love her message and how she’s bringing recognition to an entire category of the population that doesn’t fit into the mould society has demanded we fit into. That interviewer was annoying as Hell. I could never trust anyone that fake.

[@lwaxanatroi1987]

As a teacher I find her info critical to teaching undiagnosed students with motivational issues.

I truly appreciate Dr. Temple Grandin, thank you for sharing your life.

[@RathboneLevy207]

Thanks Temple. Thanks Jenny!

I'm definitely a verbal thinker, but I think I'm good at differentiating when top-down or bottom-up thinking is more appropriate. Like different types of writing projects require completely different approaches

l love you temple. l saw film about you. 😍😍😍😍

[@tjrmptti]

Reality is better than the film though...

Dr Grandin for president 2024 Actually, HA! 😂🤣🙌🏻 That gave me a giggle…she’s far too wonderful for such idiotic theater monkeys, slinging their poo at anyone who is foolish to push their heads above the surface. Out with the old ways, I’m with the new. Thank you for everything, Dr Grandin…you’ve inspired and taught me that my brain, ideas and heart belong with where we’re going into the future. Thank you times infinity ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Wonderful talk. I heard the complaint about kids playing video games a number of times here and in other talks. I wonder if that complaint could be turned into opportunity. Entertaining games could also be educational in a virtual sense racing games could teach driving skills, car maintenance skills, auto repair skills, etc. Medieval adventure games could teach plant identification, wood working, tracking, fishing, blacksmithing, etc. With the right designs many virtual learning experiences could be incorporated into these games which could inspire real world pursuits and at the very least give the players exposure to ideas and vocations they may not otherwise have gotten.

[@HappyKat-wc4ld]

My parents were video game haters, but they did let me play a lot of educational games where I could learn a lot of facts or work on solving puzzles/doing random daily tasks virtually. A good example would be the Nancy Drew PC games--they taught me so many random things! As an adult, I've realized that a large chunk of general knowledge I have comes from games from 20 years ago! When I was young, I had a huge capacity to learn and remember things, it's much harder now unless I'm obsessed with a topic. One thing I've realized in recent years is I need to double check on my facts every so often; sometimes I'll share a fact that was true 20 years ago, but it's not anymore! 😂

Excelente 🇧🇷

I have a question for anyone who studies or knows about the stuff that Dr. Grandin is talking about. Do you think that an autistic person in their late thirties/early forties could become a skilled trades person to in order to make up some of the gap in the generations that we are seeing now? Or is it more likely that it's too late for us ? Thank you

[@62Cristoforo]

Only you can tell. It’s tempting t9 look for easy and quick answers, outside ourselves. Better to rely on ones self for the answers.

[@MissingRaptor]

@@62Cristoforo That's fair, thank you

Everybody is on the "spectrum"

[@EuropeanQoheleth]

No they aren't. It doesn't work that way.

[@chancerobinson5112]

You lost me when you said this event was “virtual”. That is so 2020. Pretty soon Google will ask you to be satisfied with a “virtual job”. Trust me!😢

[@mangos2888]

Virtual jobs are already here. I had one in 2015.
