Temple Grandin Talks To George Stroumboulopoulos

[@ashleymarie6682]

This woman has taught me more about autism in 3 minutes than i knew my whole life

[@MissNurseNoir]

Thank you for wanting to learn. Sincerely, an autistic woman 🥰

[@suspicious2delicious]

Very understandable and to the point.

[@gamingwithkev8208]

Isn't she amazing?

[@crossefire01]

Over a decade later and this woman is still an inspiration.

[@billbowers7553]

Who is George? Holy cow he's the best interviewer I've ever seen.... no interruptions. Let's her go when she's answering before he finished his question. Wow....

[@reneenordeen9447]

This lady is absolutely brilliant and a gift to humanity. Unfortunately, too many people aren't insightful enough to realize it.

[@JP-lu9ed]

He’s such a wonderful interviewer. Asks good questions and doesn’t get in people’s way.

[@SaidAhmad]

Temple’s mom is also a hero! ❤

[@ecr7078]

She is not only a genius but has the humanity we all should have.

[@Burlykim13]

George is such an underrated interviewer. I feel like he should be easily recognized world wide.

[@LynnSandler-j9k]

This was a good interview where I observed Dr Grandin appears to be more relaxed its because he was calm with her and did not treat her like a child like many interviwers do.

[@LionelWayne-je4vv]

She is an outstanding example that with the right guidance people with autism have gifts that others dont and have much to contribute.Her mother is her greatest cheerleader and so were the many professors that saw her amazing abilities .❤

[@Burlykim13]

Beyond the fact that I absolutely adore Temple Grandin, and feel she is an intensely important human being, this also makes me feel better as a parent. What she talked about diet, exercise, education, and THEN a reserved amount of medication if needed after all other resources have been exhausted…that is EXACTLY the route I went with my son for his ADHD. She is 100% bang on about everything she talks about. What an amazing human being. ❤️❤️❤️

[@steveb0503]

I would more enjoy having a conversation with her than with 90% of people who would otherwise be referred to as "normal".

[@crisusf25]

steveb0503 yes you’re right👍🏻

[@WTH828]

Hi! I actually had the chance to interview her at one of her conventions. She’s very straight forward and to the point.

[@angelabritten48]

Me too. 😊

[@fiacmar]

I bet I’d enjoy a conversation with you Steve.

[@LiLaoda9]

She’s real!

[@yeahtoast2011]

I love her. She makes me feel not alone.

[@sirennoir258]

I hope you don't feel alone. I have a daughter with autism. You are not alone.

[@jenniferlappe5459]

You are NOT alone. EVER!!!

[@ProMachus6]

I am officially obsessed with Temple Grandin's work and her genius. She has contributed so much through all she has done. I especially admire her courage. She is my inspiration.

[@AlexReynard]

I can just _feel_ in how Temple speaks, her endless, heartbroken frustration that we refuse to do things that *work.* To her, it's so easy to look at a situation and diagnose the problem, because she can see it as a machine with moving parts. People's emotions get in the way of them prioritizing what works over what _feels like it _*_ought_*_ to work._ "It would be nice if things worked this way" isn't how things actually work.

[@joelavery2729]

Oh my goodness, she is amazing. If America is led by people like Temple Grandin, it has hope.

[@MrAtaguas]

I love to see people talk that are very passionate about what they do or life in general and I can tell you I don't know or never cared dick about cattle in my life ... but I was watching this entire interview listening intently all the way through with my jaw practically on the ground

[@Trundlecake]

She is amazing

[@elrey6650]

I am thankful for ppl like temple grandins mother. Such a superhero❤️

[@samanthacroucher2812]

As the mother of an autistic child this wonderful lady has inspired me and made push my son to do well in school and be independent. She is living proof that autism isn't always the end, yes it's going to be a hard road but so worth it

[@marciahamilton5502]

This woman fascinates me and I could hardly stop watching. She's brilliant and very compassionate towards animals. I also thought of the people who bullied her and what the think of what she's done with her life AND what they've done with theirs. I saw the movie some time ago and it was very moving. I have a deep respect for Ms. Grandin. Brava to you ma'am. She saw animals brutilized in the slaughter houses and sought a better way for them. The beef, pork and poultry businesses are going to go on. She developed ways of keeping the animals calm, and unafraid. Much more than many others had done and has developed ways to counter that cruelty. Yes, the business will go on, but let's give these animals the respect that they deserve when going to the end of their lives.

[@MiyahSundermeyer]

+Marcia Hamilton I am insterested in what happened to that first roommate in college who walked into their room while Temple was in the squeeze machine and freaked her out.

[@PrincessTinkerbells]

My boyfriend lives out in the Midwest and his mom has actually met Temple Grandin and heard her speak a bunch of times. (about 5 or so) and I am SO jealous!

[@MiyahSundermeyer]

+Meli Krupp You will and she's worth it believe me because she's very friendly and generous

[@christophernavarro6121]

I said you are with somebody who is not a waste of space.

[@17025601]

It's amazing how people can get off-topic so zealously about not eating meat. This interview was about her autism and the insights she provides about dealing with it. She is probably the most humane person you will ever hear about. Her understanding of animals, especially livestock, has improved their lives substantially and enabled them to be calm in various stressful situations, not just at a slaughterhouse. She knows about stress herself in ways you critics cannot imagine. Now go back and watch the video again, keeping focused so that you might learn something from this remarkable woman.

[@GsBBoyDan]

So humane she comes up with ways to kill animals.

[@joannenugent8495]

I agree

[@videogameguitar-matt]

Ways of stopping animals from suffering as much, i don't remember you ending the meat industry? By that logic every doctor is a murderer.

[@elaineeike5363]

I have no idea what you are trying to say...the meat industry is here and now. What does the comment about the doctor mean?

[@evanvorous]

Well said GizmoBee!!

[@RhythmeSeban]

this woman IS a true inspiration for autistic people including teens on the spectrum like me.i appreciate her greatly 😀😀😀😀☺☺👏👏👏

[@chrisangus463]

She's in inspiration for everyone

[@rhymeandreasoning]

OMG ABSOLUTELY AMAZING INTERVIEW... I am in awe...great human being..So happy George interviewed her..hope a lot of people see this interview.. Kirk..in Montreal

[@The111Queen]

this woman is a visionary. far ahead of her time. it is hard to live in an crazy world when you do not think like other people.

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

I really love how proud Temple Grandin is of her Movie. She references it quite a lot during interviews, it really has done her justice, an the fact that she approves of it (and films based on people rarely get a full blessing) show's me that it is a film you can watch and know your watching accurate history.

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

I worship the film as I myself have Asperger's, and it really helps, she must have felt so alone and shitty as a kid, but it's people like Temple that make me feel a part of this world, and hopefully one day I'll put my mark on the world too.

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

+David Sage, well there are a lot of horrid people out there, I hate to also sound like your Dad, but he's right, just ignore them. Half the people who insult you will never admit to being wrong anyway, so you really are just wasting your time.

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

+David Sage, Well that's called pride, and pride can be a good thing, or it can really mess with you. Sometimes you have to swallow your pride, as that's the only way to be a success.

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

+David Sage, I used to bully my sister when I was a kid (forgive me, I was a kid), an when she got a bit older (like High School) I found it hard to bully her, as she would avoid me. So realistically, if you wanna win, ignore them and walk away.

[@maineabelle4151]

Temple Grandin is such an inspiration

[@sincitystangLOL]

saw her movie

[@LynnSandler-j9k]

Dr Temple Grandin

[@LionelWayne-je4vv]

She is an oustanding example thay with the right guidance people with autism have gifts that others dont .Her mother is her greatest cheerleader and so were the many professors that saw her amazing abilities .❤

[@WTH828]

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Grandin. ❤️❤️ I hope I get to meet her again one day. ❤️

[@dogtorjoy]

She was my professor for one of my college classes

[@deannacunningham3078]

She is awesome!

[@GINGERBREADWHY]

What a wonderful, inspiring woman.

[@alwaysflushinpublic]

I received a weighted blanket for my birthday. I am 45 years old and for the first time I do not fear sleep and require less medication. I am thankful at how far the research has come.

[@ThunderPants13]

Among her many intellectual gifts is the ability to see the capabilities of the minds of animals. As humans, we tend to take for granted that we are always the "smartest" beings on Earth. Temple helps people understand that animals' minds are capable of thinking and feeling far more deeply than we give them credit for.

[@kimberlyaccurso1921]

Thank you for this fantastic interview! Thank you Temple Grandin for creating machinery that treats our beautiful animals with understanding & respect … I can’t wait to see the movie!

[@joannenugent8495]

I have a lot of respect for her.Good role model for autistic people and I like how she has improved the handling of animals.

[@joyelmes7814]

This is so spot on, exactly what is happening. They are taught they can do anything they want to, but unfortunately not how. You cannot be proficient at anything without practice, repetition, spending time, learning patience. Only magic is instant, real life takes time. So many lives being wasted just waiting for a miracle.

[@tannerbrackelsberg2676]

today, i just got done watching a movie of her and i was like wow, i fill sorry for her at school being bulled and her favorite science teacher died but she is very very smart, i just learned a lot of her today!!!

[@bandagewaster2636]

*feel

[@angelwood7729]

Tanner Brackelsberg It's a shame that most autistics will experience bullying in their lives. I know probably lots of people will but that's for different reasons. And yeah, she's had quite a "sad" life with bullies and her professor dead but look at her now.

[@ciarawalsh366]

What a fantastic woman she us such an inspiration

[@gmaureen]

Really nice interview. Thanks for the upload.

[@53leeann]

Great movie and Temple is an awesome woman!

[@chuckchugumlung773]

Such an amazing woman and a real hero! I love Temple Grandin

[@patientzerobeat]

George, as usual, nails it. What a great interview of a fascinating person!

[@nataliecp1050]

Although the show with T. Grandin aired in 2013 and I missed, being able to view it ..today was absolutely a delight, George you have beautiful mind and are an excellent host, you made that interview so delightful that's the word for how watching and listening made me feel, thank you so much

[@topgazza]

Beyond inspirational. Wonderful person

[@pirjoioannou1435]

You know when I was younger I probably would have avoided her, thinking she's not normal. Lucky enough with age one gets, hopefully, become to be wiser and I certainly hope I'm mature enough to accept people for their qualities rather than outside appearance...

[@hollybenson958]

Pirjo Ioannou sasrAssaaqqqsesddffddddpp:/-----0

[@gordonagent7037]

What a national treasure and precious person, honest, down to earth, insightful. I read a book about Temple when I started beef farming and I implemented as many of her ideas into my farm, in particular my handling of cattle and I think I can say I had the calmest cattle you’d ever meet as a result. She is definitely one person I would love to meet and chat with for a while.

[@cianainnichole3386]

you are flat out a need in this world today. i love you i think you are loved pretty much everywhere always be you, the world needs you

[@laurelbush1672]

I have a great nephew that has some disabilities. People with learning disabilities are usually smarter than the average person. I stress to him you may learn differently or it might take you a bit longer but there is nothing you can't do. I find such inspiration from her.

[@miuzefreak]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THIS WOMAN!

[@imacommenter1255]

Wow. That actress played her well. Also why is she so adorable? XD

[@margaretfleming3554]

Would that all human beings viewed animals with the same love and respect this remarkable woman does.

[@allab0ut-fl0wers-74]

i only barely saw the moving but i loved the beginning.....i didnt even know she was a real person.

[@Emac951]

I find her simply inspiring and fascinating

[@Smiles4lifepkn]

Really good interview of Dr. Grandin. Loved the points you asked about throughout.

[@SpinyNormanDinsdale]

She's definitely one of my most cherished heroes.

[@TomMannis]

Amazing human being. (And the film about her is beautiful.)

[@trishhutchens420]

Her mother must have been amazing.

[@donnaly5146]

wow! that was great

[@nogames8982]

I love this lady. What she has done for animals and autistic people and just people in general is absolutely amazing. I recommend any of her books. I’ve read most of them and I love them.

[@wendymiller2133]

Outstanding, Amazing a true hero.

[@krystalharwood2300]

she has no problem looking him in the eye...great for her

[@MiyahSundermeyer]

+Krystal Harwood She didn't learn not to look people in the eye until she found out the reasons behind.

[@LynnSandler-j9k]

Thank you Dr Temple Grandin for educating and empowering families how to navigate the autism spectrum. I agree having responsiblities when your young is key because it prepares young adults for growing up as they are aging. I absolutely agree the young must be stretched to learn. board games are way to get them to think, get the young kids away from the texting and kids interested in nature, science, art, sports, history, writting get young adults motivated and inspired. Dr Temple has written a book called "the Autistic Brain" If you ever get bullied and cry that is ok, its better than throwing a temper tantrum. Dr Temple Grandin is a brilliant and inspiring individual.

[@yerusalemabreha4578]

She amazes me with her intelligence! I’m so glad George had her on his show. Her personality kinda reminds me of my dad haha.

[@mowguy1]

what an inspiration Temple is. Im a fan.

[@charlieh7321]

Absolutely amazing. She seems like such an inslireing soul.

[@jenniferwesley8913]

I have so much respect for this amazing woman!!!

[@GinnyCarlsonOregon]

this woman's views gave me courage to believe in my son whom many said couldn't do school work of his peers four years later he not only does it but is getting b's

[@maggymay7827]

A wonderful lady.

[@christinagrooms510]

Wonderful interview and wonderful woman.

So impressive, and so right! ❤👍

[@mikeonwazee]

Thank you GS

[@r-ms2149]

So great

[@jws1948ja]

I remember being very unhappy as a child. My mother was of no use. She watch my father beat me. I did finish college, and I became a vocational rehabilitation counselor. That's where I found out about autism. There is a drastic difference between the verbal and performance I.Q. many times with autism.

[@stayjit1]

I had known of her before the 'made for TV ' movie came out. I thought the producer/director did a good job. She's an amazing person.

[@Jadefox2716]

Amazing!

[@jashilsdonmusic]

I LOVE smart people.

[@MarianoBulaBlackOrpheus]

Dr.grandin speaks the truth.

[@trescateta9575]

her movie is amazing

[@toddmarryatt443]

Her Mother sounds amazing. As does she. I have parts of the spectrum. Manageable but never diagnosed, also a mild case of dyslexia. All enough to give up on accomplishments in school. What was left was to get by with as little effort as possible. My mother has dyslexia and no doubt other oddities. The difference was she had to be strong and look at her future. One of her grandparents knew what she had and explained it to her. It has been in the family so he did not know much but enough to help her understand it. Obviously neither one of us are that bad but I wanted to do things I had no realistic chance of doing. I am like alot of people who needed earily development and did not get it. I moved around alot, army brat, and with all the teachers I have had...not one made that connection. I was a smart lazy student. I think there must be alot of people out there with similar difficulties who fly under the radar. I hold a fair bit of useless anger towards the teaching profession but if I had been diagnosed back then I would've been in the slow class and gotten no education.I don't have to be logical or consistent. I am human and it's not required or expected. I was once in the advanced class lol. Work excellent but sloppy, very. Lol I switched numbers alot. You know it's not encouraging to get a yurekka moment but then get the wrong answer because you reversed numbers somewhere in the equation. Probably why I don't have ambition. I wanted to do science but my talents were oddly with the arts. Oh well. A good therapy session. Same time next week. Oh yeah, I am 59 years old. In my day you didn't show weakness, especially mental or emotional.

[@lindahamilton800]

"There is no magic turning point." Wow. What an incredible realist.

[@zyxw2000]

Re:taking turns--Many drivers don't know how to take turns. They're constantly skipping ahead of cars in front of them, and they don't know or care how 2 lines of cars should merge. The point is to constantly squeeze in ahead of everyone else. So much for what they learned in school.

[@Trundlecake]

She is a hero

[@martyh5980]

Appoint Miss Grandin to the head of the Dept of Education.

[@bwenluck9812]

@marty Did you ever stop to think she may not be interested???

[@saracutiem.d.241]

Cow's are Temple Grandin true soulmate and the rest is history. Let the innovation begin. I wonder if she ever wore a makeup in the boys washroom. xx
