Dr. Temple Grandin is a woman with Autism who is the subject of an HBO movie with her name as the title. Claire Danes stars in it and it won several Emmys. I have not seen the movie, but I plan to. This is a lecture she gave explaining a little about how the brains of people who fall within the Autism spectrum are different, and why the world needs people with Austism and Asperger's. She is very successful in her field of work, and she attributes her success to Autism. She is an advocate for kids like Ben. I don't always have much patience for lectures, but this is pretty fascinating and insightful. Please check it out if you are interested.
