Temple Grandin is an inspiration to all women.  She has come through some hard times and has risen above.  My daughter was fortunate to see her at a symposium when she was in college.  I would love to see her presentation someday.  I also need to find some of her books to read.  Thank you for sharing the interview.

I bought, but haven't yet read "Thinking in Pictures". Good one to pick up this fall...things are supposed to slow down some...soon?!?

I think this is what makes her so innovative...she sees the world in such a different way. It is a good example of what I mean when I say that sometimes, what looks like a disability turns out to be an extremely extraordinary and beneficial ability. The movie made some good attempts to illustrate how her mind processed situations very differently.
