Temple Grandin

Well, yeah, the feeling of self-worth and self-esteem.

I don't know if you've ever been in conversation with Temple Grandin about vocational and technical schools, but she, you know, she's autistic.

What she writes about or sort of hammers about is, and this again, it goes to the work that your administration did around infrastructure, but that we prioritize, and I'm a verbal thinker and you're a verbal thinker, But that our world is so organized around verbal thinkers, including people who are really good at algebra.

And then the system weeds out everyone who thinks spatially and visually and might be technically brilliant or really good at infrastructure.

you

know because even when I even when I was considering I was thinking no I can't be autistic because I'm not even by then it was like well there's Temple Grandin

a

woman but again I was like Temple Grandin and I there's still very very many degrees of separation there in terms of presentation so that didn't really help all that much

No, if anything, it can compound, you know, that feeling of, well, I'm not that either, you know, and I just, you know, looking for that affinity.

Yeah.

Sure, some of those labs are run by people who are not good people.

And like Temple Grandin would say, they need a managerectomy.

Like, It's really bad in some labs.

And I think labs as a whole shouldn't exist.

Donc qu'est-ce que la personne aime ? Ses intérêts.

Il y a une, une personne autiste de renom, Temple Grandin, qui dit beaucoup de se centrer sur les intérêts pour entrer en communication avec la personne autiste.

Et c'est vraiment une de mes, des meilleures recommandations qu'on a, qu'on, que j'ai lues puis qu'on m'a données.

C'est vraiment ça.

But know that that really can become something that is to their benefit in a field if they channel it right.

And I just think about all the different people that I've come in contact with, you know, even before we started rolling, talking about my interview with Temple Grandin.

That was one of my favorite interviews.

So like, don't.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And true to, to mention Temple Grandin too, because her, her genius has changed the world.

Literally.
