OMG--I am so glad that Temple Grandin and her life story is being brought to the general public--the new movie about her is coming out soon. This talk should be required for all teachers to listen to. Her book, Thinking in Pictures, should be required reading for teacher candidates. It is far more enlightening than 3 weeks of learning about autism. Click this link and watch!

Creativity, PSSA's and childhood squandered
Please go to You Tube to see this talk on how education quashes creativity--funny and thought-provoking

You will then want to go to the TED website to view other fascinating talks on the human potential, technology, education, and the creative process. Try this one http://www.ted.com/talks/blaise_aguera.html
A student's blog on his 'Life on the Spectrum' of autism is also well-worth a read.
