VIDEO: Temple Grandin on Autism – The World Needs All Kinds of Minds

Autism activist Temple Grandin talks about how her mind works – sharing her ability to "think in pictures," which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case, in this TED Talks presentation, that "the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart and geeky kids." (TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, but covers the entire spectrum of "ideas worth spreading." For more, see www.ted.com.)
