S.O- This video gave good insight to autism.Temple Grandin did a wonderful job advocating for autism and early intervention.In the beginning of the video where she said ,”What is normal?”That is where it really sparked my interest.We all really wanna know what is normal.I also agree with the fact that almost everyone struggles with a little autism.Some of your most famous people have had some mild forms of autism.There is a large spectrum where some are very accomplished and some need therapy or live in assisted facilities. Before this video I can honestly say that I struggle with understanding autism and Grandin really broke it down for me.I remember back in the day people thought it was because of the parents or it was just bad behavior.I agree and understand thinking while using pictures, pictures in your head.It’s like having a mapped out plan, knowing ahead of time with no surprises and trying to keep things as consistent as possible.
K.W- My attention was drawn to the interview on C-SPAN with autism advocate Temple Grandin because of her insightful perspectives on autism and how it impacts how people perceive the world and how they interact with it. During the interview, Temple Grandin, who herself is on the autism spectrum, explained how she views the world in a unique, visual manner. According to her, whereas neurotypical people tend to process information verbally or abstractly, individuals with autism tend to think in pictures or patterns, which can be both a strength and a weakness at the same time. I gained a deeper understanding of autism through this idea, especially the fact that sensory overload and social cues can be extremely overwhelming for those with autism spectrum disorders. In my opinion, what stood out the most was Grandin’s emphasis on recognizing the differences in thinking styles and creating environments where neurodiverse individuals can thrive and thrive together. It was through her own visual reasoning that she was able to develop innovative livestock management systems, illustrating how thinking differently can result in extraordinary contributions to society. Furthermore, Grandin stressed the importance of focusing on an individual’s strengths rather than only addressing their challenges, which I felt was particularly inspirational for me. I have become more aware of neurodiversity as a result of her perspective, as well as strengthened my belief that individuals with autism deserve acceptance and support.
No specific format for either parts. It will be copy & pasted into a discussion post, so no headers or anything is needed. You can just type it straight into a word document.
