Interesting info. I really appreciated Grandin's perspective and learned a lot. I didn't know that there were hereditary components to Autism, nor that the Autistic Brain grows differently. (Seriously, I knew NOTHING about Autism before my son's diagnosis, and the "Newly Diagnosed" parent packet from Autism Speaks was less than helpful.) There were some really interesting neuropsych tidbits here.
I also like her parenting suggestions for parents of Autistic children with low support needs, and her list of career ideas for visual/object thinkers, pattern thinkers, and word/fact thinkers. I have always been fascinated by Temple Grandin and so admire the way she has made her way in the world.
