Famous quotes by Temple Grandin:

"You gotta bleed 'em in 60 seconds or less."

"The head must be dead. I can't stress that enough."

"I'm wondering where the next Einstein is going to be. He's going to be driving a FedEx truck."

"I thought I could fix everything with engineering."

"A treatment method or an educational method that will work for one child may not work for another child. The one common denominator for all of the young children is that early intervention does work, and it seems to improve the prognosis."

"I am a big believer in early intervention."

"Normal people have an incredible lack of empathy. They have good emotional empathy, but they don't have much empathy for the autistic kid who is screaming at the baseball game because he can't stand the sensory overload. Or the autistic kid having a meltdown in the school cafeteria because there's too much stimulation."

"Language for me narrates the pictures in my mind. When I work on designing livestock equipment I can test run that equipment in my head like 3-D virtual reality. In fact, when I was in college I used to think that everybody was able to do that."

"The thing about being autistic is that you gradually get less and less autistic, because you keep learning, you keep learning how to behave. It's like being in a play; I'm always in a play."

"People are always looking for the single magic bullet that will totally change everything. There is no single magic bullet."

"Autism is an extremely variable disorder."

"There is a tremendous range of children with a PDD label."

"Some children may need a behavioral approach, whereas other children may need a sensory approach."

"I get satisfaction out of seeing stuff that makes real change in the real world. We need a lot more of that and a lot less abstract stuff."

"What I've tried to do is combine both my personal experiences with scientific research. I like to cross the divide between the personal world and the scientific world."

"When you take a drug to treat high blood pressure or diabetes, you have an objective test to measure blood pressure and the amount of sugar in the blood. It is straight-forward. With autism, you are looking for changes in behavior."

"Children between the ages of five to ten years are even more variable. They are going to vary from very high functioning, capable of doing normal school work, to nonverbal who have all kinds of neurological problems."

"There tends to be a lot of autism around the tech centers... when you concentrate the geeks, you're concentrating the autism genetics."

"I had people in my life who didn't give up on me: my mother, my aunt, my science teacher. I had one-on-one speech therapy. I had a nanny who spent all day playing turn-taking games with me."

"Research is starting to show that a child should be engaged at least 20 hours a week. I do not think it matters which program you choose as long as it keeps the child actively engaged with the therapist, teacher, or parent for at least 20 hours a week."
