My favorite video: Understanding Autism

One of the most influential women in the world of autism is Temple Grandin. This woman surpassed the expectations that society placed on her due to her disability, and became a renowned scientist in Animal Husbandry and Autism.

When I first started working in the field, I worked at a Non-Public School for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, and got to experience different forms of autism, and its many differences and similarities. It was difficult in the beginning, but as I began to understand how autism impacts an individual, I was more readily able to assist these kids succeed. 

Being introduced to Temple Grandin changed my life. I began watching all her lectures, and videos, hoping to learn more. She is so intriguing, and has revolutionized the way many of us understand autism, and how we approach those with this disability.

This lecture video is my favorite lecture, and was the one that made me yearn for more knowledge.
