Kids Careers Turns

More From Temple Grandin

I'm seeing too many kids where they get fixated on their own autism. i'd rather have them get fixated that they like programming computers or they like art or they want to sing in the church choir or they want to train dogs, you know, something that they can turn into a career.

Sometimes, when we're terrified of embracing our true calling, we'll pursue a shadow calling instead. that shadow career is a metaphor for our real career. its shape is similar, its contours feel tantalizingly the same. but a shadow career entails no real risk. if we fail at a shadow career, the consequences are meaningless to us. are you pursuing a shadow career?

I turn sentences around. that's my life. i write a sentence and then i turn it around. then i look at it and i turn it around again. then i have lunch. then i come back in and write another sentence. then i have tea and turn the new sentence around. then i read the two sentences over and turn them both around. then i lie down on my sofa and think. then i get up and throw them out and start from the beginning.

Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don't get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. the very same people whose evenings begin with melted goats cheese... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.

Is there any indication we shouldn't be depressed - are you living on the same planet that i am? do you ever think that depression might be the reasonable human response to the crap we're going through as a species, meant to propel us into the next evolutionary step, or at least into taking some different course of action so we might survive? do you ever think that maybe it's the happy people that are really screwed up in the head?
