Temple Grandin Talks To George Stroumboulopoulos 

I would more enjoy having a conversation with her than with 90% of people who would otherwise be referred to as "normal".

She is not only a genius but has the humanity we all should have.

I love her. She makes me feel not alone.

I love to see people talk that are very passionate about what they do or life in general and I can tell you I don't know or never cared dick about cattle in my life ... but I was watching this entire interview listening intently all the way through with my jaw practically on the ground

I am officially obsessed with Temple Grandin's work and her genius. She has contributed so much through all she has done. I especially admire her courage. She is my inspiration.

She was my professor for one of my college classes

Oh my goodness, she is amazing. If America is led by people like Temple Grandin, it has hope.

It's amazing how people can get off-topic so zealously about not eating meat. This interview was about her autism and the insights she provides about dealing with it. She is probably the most humane person you will ever hear about. Her understanding of animals, especially livestock, has improved their lives substantially and enabled them to be calm in various stressful situations, not just at a slaughterhouse. She knows about stress herself in ways you critics cannot imagine. Now go back and watch the video again, keeping focused so that you might learn something from this remarkable woman.

My boyfriend lives out in the Midwest and his mom has actually met Temple Grandin and heard her speak a bunch of times. (about 5 or so) and I am SO jealous!

This woman fascinates me and I could hardly stop watching. She's brilliant and very compassionate towards animals. I also thought of the people who bullied her and what the think of what she's done with her life AND what they've done with theirs. I saw the movie some time ago and it was very moving. I have a deep respect for Ms. Grandin. Brava to you ma'am. She saw animals brutilized in the slaughter houses and sought a better way for them. The beef, pork and poultry businesses are going to go on. She developed ways of keeping the animals calm, and unafraid. Much more than many others had done and has developed ways to counter that cruelty. Yes, the business will go on, but let's give these animals the respect that they deserve when going to the end of their lives.

this woman is a visionary. far ahead of her time. it is hard to live in an crazy world when you do not think like other people.

Temple Grandin is such an inspiration

this woman IS a true inspiration for autistic people including teens on the spectrum like me.i appreciate her greatly 😀😀😀😀☺☺👏👏👏

Among her many intellectual gifts is the ability to see the capabilities of the minds of animals. As humans, we tend to take for granted that we are always the "smartest" beings on Earth. Temple helps people understand that animals' minds are capable of thinking and feeling far more deeply than we give them credit for.

I really love how proud Temple Grandin is of her Movie. She references it quite a lot during interviews, it really has done her justice, an the fact that she approves of it (and films based on people rarely get a full blessing) show's me that it is a film you can watch and know your watching accurate history.

George is such an underrated interviewer. I feel like he should be easily recognized world wide.

OMG ABSOLUTELY AMAZING INTERVIEW... I am in awe...great human being..So happy George interviewed her..hope a lot of people see this interview.. Kirk..in Montreal

Wow. That actress played her well. Also why is she so adorable? XD

What a fantastic woman she us such an inspiration

I am thankful for ppl like temple grandins mother. Such a superhero❤️

As the mother of an autistic child this wonderful lady has inspired me and made push my son to do well in school and be independent. She is living proof that autism isn't always the end, yes it's going to be a hard road but so worth it

What a wonderful, inspiring woman.

You know when I was younger I probably would have avoided her, thinking she's not normal. Lucky enough with age one gets, hopefully, become to be wiser and I certainly hope I'm mature enough to accept people for their qualities rather than outside appearance...

My brain gets happy hearing her. She's awesome

She's definitely one of my most cherished heroes.

I have a lot of respect for her.Good role model for autistic people and I like how she has improved the handling of animals.

i only barely saw the moving but i loved the beginning.....i didnt even know she was a real person.

Great movie and Temple is an awesome woman!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THIS WOMAN!

today, i just got done watching a movie of her and i was like wow, i fill sorry for her at school being bulled and her favorite science teacher died but she is very very smart, i just learned a lot of her today!!!

She amazes me with her intelligence! I’m so glad George had her on his show. Her personality kinda reminds me of my dad haha.

I have a great nephew that has some disabilities. People with learning disabilities are usually smarter than the average person. I stress to him you may learn differently or it might take you a bit longer but there is nothing you can't do. I find such inspiration from her.

Beyond the fact that I absolutely adore Temple Grandin, and feel she is an intensely important human being, this also makes me feel better as a parent. What she talked about diet, exercise, education, and THEN a reserved amount of medication if needed after all other resources have been exhausted…that is EXACTLY the route I went with my son for his ADHD. She is 100% bang on about everything she talks about. What an amazing human being. ❤️❤️❤️

Such an amazing woman and a real hero! I love Temple Grandin

she has no problem looking him in the eye...great for her

wow! that was great

Charming.....both of them.

what an inspiration Temple is. Im a fan.

I find her simply inspiring and fascinating

Really nice interview. Thanks for the upload.

love you temple

I love the way she dresses. Her shirts are cool. It's like they define her.

George, as usual, nails it. What a great interview of a fascinating person!

this woman's views gave me courage to believe in my son whom many said couldn't do school work of his peers four years later he not only does it but is getting b's

A wonderful lady.

Dr.grandin speaks the truth.

you are flat out a need in this world today. i love you i think you are loved pretty much everywhere always be you, the world needs you

This was a good interview where I observed Dr Grandin appears to be more relaxed its because he was calm with her and did not treat her like a child like many interviwers do.

Thank you Dr Temple Grandin for educating and empowering families how to navigate the autism spectrum. I agree having responsiblities when your young is key because it prepares young adults for growing up as they are aging. I absolutely agree the young must be stretched to learn. board games are way to get them to think, get the young kids away from the texting and kids interested in nature, science, art, sports, history, writting get young adults motivated and inspired. Dr Temple has written a book called "the Autistic Brain" If you ever get bullied and cry that is ok, its better than throwing a temper tantrum. Dr Temple Grandin is a brilliant and inspiring individual.

I have so much respect for this amazing woman!!!

I LOVE smart people.

Although the show with T. Grandin aired in 2013 and I missed, being able to view it ..today was absolutely a delight, George you have beautiful mind and are an excellent host, you made that interview so delightful that's the word for how watching and listening made me feel, thank you so much

Absolutely amazing. She seems like such an inslireing soul.

I received a weighted blanket for my birthday. I am 45 years old and for the first time I do not fear sleep and require less medication. I am thankful at how far the research has come.

Really good interview of Dr. Grandin. Loved the points you asked about throughout.

GREAT interview👍👍👍

what an amazing woman. great interview!

Temple is absolutely amazing love her.

Thank you GS

So impressive, and so right! ❤👍

A major perception changer for me anyway

love this.

So great

What a great interview!!!!!!!! Yeah.... Temple Grandin rocks!!!!!!!!

Amazing!

This is SO COOL! I wish I could see Temple's movie!

For 40 years i searched for answers. Tried every drug to self medicate. I read temples book and have been sober for 3 days. I don’t feel the need to get high anymore. I’m ok with the way I am now

She is a hero

She seems really cool.

So many amazing comments from people on here. I will just add, I agree with them whole heartedly.

her movie is amazing

Cow's are Temple Grandin true soulmate and the rest is history. Let the innovation begin. I wonder if she ever wore a makeup in the boys washroom. xx

I had known of her before the 'made for TV ' movie came out. I thought the producer/director did a good job. She's an amazing person.

saw the movie a while ago, really glad they got rid of the metal slides and put in the stairs

I was so confused when I never saw George Stephenopolus

The best quote is "you have to learn. " It's very hard to explain this to people who are wired typically. It's like trying to explain the color green in words. She explains this well for high functioning kids and adults.

I'm on my way through the Discworld series of books... and I have to say Temple Grandin IS Granny Weatherwax!! :)

She had active, disciplined parenting and an upbringing steeped in ethics. Not the norm these days.

Awesome story, she has the mind of the pro-engineer !

GREAT SCIENTIST TEMPLE I LIKE HER SO MUCH, I ALSO HAVE ASPERGER .

adorei todos, mas deveriam ser legendados

imbd: Inspirational movies "BASED ON TRUE STORY" brought me here

Temple is a great woman. I would love to meet her. What ever happened to Georgie Boy ?

Like Temple I didn't start speaking until I was 5

I love phantom of the opera

Same

I like as she see things and I read Listers books, of past

i wonder what advice temple would give to adults who were never diagnosed as children and are now struggling with not thriving in their lives because they weren't taught the things she mentions in the interview. can those skills be learned and detriments overcome later in life?

I love my autism but there's one thing I hate, one moment​ people think we're geniuses then the next we're a bunch of retards, we're neither and not two people on the spectrum are the same. We need awareness, understanding and acceptance. Sadly, we live in such an imperfect world. I wish to work as an actress, dancer, gymnast, author and an advocate for autism. (sorry for bad spelling or mistakes I wrote this after waking up)

Everything she says about kids with ASD and today's education and job skills ring so true, but unfortunately I don't think anyone is listening to her. I don't know why. As accomplished as she is, I get the feeling people still don't take a lot of things she says that seriously.

George Stroumboulopoulos' last name sounds like what someone would make up as a joke of a Greek last name like Nicholas Plopoulopodopodis

I LOVE the fact that she stresses she is into tangible results and improvements and NOT ideology. Ideologues are such a huge source of the massive shift to the problems that we are seeing in society and politics today. I wish more people would understand this.

Buenas noches como puedo mandarle un correo a grandin tengo una hija autistas

I'm 7 years late but hi

Is that his real name?

Great interview! Thanks. But should take out the advertising time periods, because they're just black.

The original Forest Gump!

whos here from a school thing lol

No magical turning point.. totally my personal experience w bipolar.. baby steps people!

"Autistic brain" is very very variable! Aw almost like the neurotypical brain is. Being on the spectrum is a normal part of biodiversity. It isn't a mental deficit. It's a different type of brain and it can be accompanied by deficits or genius traits as much as a neurotypical brain can. Except you are more likely to be a genius in anything that requires logical thinking with this different brain than with a neurotypical one. Edit: The most damage and problems people on the spectrum have is done to them by their shrinks and their parents who just want a normal kid and bully this perfectly normal but very different kid into mimicking neurotypicals. This makes the kid depressed and anxious,..., and then all the drugs that are given to their developing brains...
