I never liked Temple Grandin much anyway. Or mixed feelings, at least.
(She has a lot of good things to say. And you can't deny that she's intelligent and knowledgeable. But using intimate knowledge to lure your friends into a slaughter house just bugs me.)


She's a hypocryte and says things I disagree with. I NEED to stim whenever I feel the urge and video games help me decompress. Temple Grandin is a a curbie and I personaly can't stand her. My parents want her to be my idol but she isn't. I can't really think of anyone who is my idol other than Saint Francis of Assici and people involved in the ALF but she will NEVER be one of my idols.


Wait, how is she a curebie? o_O


She has a curbie mindset when it comes to things like stimming.

Wanting to curb stimming isn't the same as wanting to cure autism.

No-one is intimate friends with a cow, or at least not legally.

I bet that all that money went to Autism Speaks. Every time I see one of their ads, I want to sue them. :evil:

The word, "intimate" does not mean sex. It can include sex, but that's not the main thing.

Facebook terrifies me.

I dont know how people can keep on using it knowing that employers are always looking at it and not to mention the number of suicides in teenagers it has been causing.
