I picked this TED talk video because I thought the subject was very interesting. Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism as a child and she explains how her mind works differently. Thinking with pictures instead of verbal language and being able to solve problems most people will not even see because of how their minds work. Autism minds pay attention to details instead of just the broad scenario. She talks how important is for kids to have good mentors that inspire them to learn and be better. She thinks doing hands on activities are very useful specially for kids with autism and unfortunately these days things are getting too abstract and they are getting rid of such activities.
The world needs to accept all the kinds of minds and make them work together for a better future, her words touched me since I have attention deficit disorder and while growing up I struggled with school in the verbal language area and I also thought in pictures.
I haven’t watch the movie of her life yet but now ill definitely see it, she is inspiring.
