More From Temple Grandin

The thing is, autism is all different, you know, variables. and you start out with a certain amount of, you know, the point where the differences in the brain are going to just be a personality variant and, like, for very mild asperger's. but you get into more severe kinds of autism where there's obvious speech delay, obvious abnormal behavior in a two and three-year-old child, you know, the initial neurology is different from case to case. but all children with autism are going to do better if they get really good educational intervention.

My life - autism's an important part of it, but it bothers me when i see kids where autism and their autism is the only thing they think about. i'd rather have them think about, you know, some art work they were gonna do or some science they wanted to do.
Art Kids Thinking
When i was diagnosed, mothers were blamed for causing autism. there was no autism support. they'd put autistic kids in institutions. i had severe autism. but my mom wouldn't accept that. i was put in speech therapy. my mother was always pushing me to do stuff.

Mild autism can give you a genius like einstein. if you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. you don't want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. but if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldn't have science or art. all you would have is a bunch of social 'yak yaks.'
Art People Giving

If i had been a different sort of person, maybe less impressionable, less intense, less fearful, less utterly dependent upon the perceptions of others - maybe then i would not have bought the cultural party line that thinness is the be-all and end-all of goals. maybe if my family had not been in utter chaos most of the time, maybe if my parents were a little better at dealing with their own lives maybe if i'd gotten help sooner, or if i'd gotten different help, maybe if i didn't so fiercely cherish my secret, or if i were not such a good liar, or were not quite so empty inside... maybe.

Kids, she says. when they’re little, they believe everything you tell them about the world. as a mother, you’re the world almanac and the encyclopedia and the dictionary and the bible, all rolled up together. but after they hit some magic age, it’s just the opposite. after that, you’re either a liar or a fool or a villain.
