Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal carried an article on Temple Grandin, whom they refer to as, “the most famous autistic woman in the world.” I’m in the process (finally!) of reading Thinking in Pictures, in which she gives a very concrete glimpse into her mind and the mind of many individuals on the autism spectrum, so I jumped at the chance to read what she has to say. Some of the topics she comments on:
- Vaccines - “you still vaccinate. Delay it a bit, space them out.”
- Diet and medication, specifically, the GFCF diet and antidepressants, which have benefitted many.
- High expectations – “Why don’t you talk about becoming a chemist, or a computer programmer, or a botanist?” – and not letting the disability rule.
- The spike in autism – “You know the geeks have always been here…Now they’re getting labeled Aspergers.”
I recommend reading the article for yourself – Dr. Grandin holds much more wisdom than I can do justice to here. She’s an amazing individual, and I look forward to reviewing her book when I’m done. Have a great day!
Life is a spectrum disorder. Some people who are diagnosed with life function at a higher level than others. People should not view life as a handicap. If you have life, just play to your strengths and compensate for your weaknesses.

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a comparable one and i had been just wondering should you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you are able to advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.
Thanks for writing this it was used as a source for a paper I am currently writing for my thesis. Thanks
