Seeing Temple Grandin tonight

[theoldchick]

I absolutely love her. I love her statement about cattle are individuals until the moment they die. Then they are a hunk of meat. Nature is cruel-we don't have to be cruel.

 

[AquaEyes]

yes, she echoed that tonight...

I just watched this:

A lot of what she went over tonight was discussed in this interview. She also went into a lot of things mentioned in Thinking in Pictures and Animals in Translation.

Very cool! Wish i could see her in person...

 

[oldchickenlady]

Totally cool! I would love to meet her, too. I just saw the movie where Clare Danes played her. It is very amazing that she was able to accomplish what she has accomplished when so little was known about autism. Just goes to show ya what a determined woman can do!

 

[theoldchick]

She had one very determined mother.

Wow, you lucky duck

Share what you can with us. My son is same as her and a real encouragement to all of us mom's of Aspie's! I can't believe that there were protesters! I thought she'd had enough bullying in her life...
