This was a fascinating hour of info. Having worked with autistic children some of the information was well-known. However medicine and the world of science has come a long way since those working days and there was much here that gave a more in-depth understanding of Autism and Aspergers. Thanks for posting this Sean.
Janice, glad you found it fascinating. Yes, most people - including myself - would not know much about autism and Asperger's; that's why I offer(ed) the video. It's, of course,'awful' long and not many visitors will (have/take the time to) watch it. As said: it's an offer. :)
I deleted my comment (and the correction of her name) because I felt it didn't say well enough how admirable Temple Grandin is. She prefers solitude, yet, she goes public to discuss what can be achieved with autism and aspergers. It's a great encouragement for parents and children.
I love her independance and strong will in living her life according to her own tastes in clothes, housing, work and companionship. I'm deeply impressed.
This is still a very imperfect comment for a "wondrous posting". Thanks, Sean.
Claude, you may sometimes, with hindsight, be not 'happy' with this and that what you've written. Same with me. Still, isn't for a perfect life imperfectness a conditio sine qua non? :)
I am glad you are as fascinated as I am. Thank you.
