http://www.ted.com Autism activist Temple Grandin talks about how her mind works -- sharing her ability to "think in pictures," which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case that the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky kids.

Thank you for sharing this. I absolutely loved her movie and I plan to share all this with my AS group when next we meet.

She was a hit! The audience which was probably 30 percent Aspie and 50 percent Nerd gave here a standing O.

She is a living Goddess to the Aspies and the Nerds.
