The world needs all kinds of minds

Hi,

View this mind blowing TED video. It will forever change what you think about autistic children in our classes and in our midst.



Dr Temple Grandin is very famous for her quote: "Autism is part of who I am." She has done much for animal welfare, PETA and general understanding about autism in children and how they can be helped to contribute to society as they have been since the beginning of time. Autism was not a problem until people became abstract thinkers of recent times. Famous autistic/ Asperger's syndrome/ dyslexic people who had to grapple with learning difficulties include Richard Branson, Mozart, Tesla and Einstein, to name just a few movers and shakers in human civilisation.

Dr Grandin is passionate about having good mentors good teachers lighting the spark of learning and motivating children in schools.

Cheers and happy Good Friday.
