We’ve got to work on developing all these different kinds of minds”

Temple Grandin is a Dr, a specialist in designing animal handling systems, and also autistic.

Listen to her thoughts about how the world needs many kind of minds, and gain a greater insight not only into autism but also different ways of thinking:

On a personal note, I especially appreciated her suggestion on educating children by increasing arts and also including TED talks in the classroom to “get these kids turned on” – to engage the different types of minds… ideas worth spreading!
