Wolf-
Yes, Temple Grandin is an amazing individual. I am glad you know her story. It's comforting to me that in spite of this disability, many have overcome it to a point of being able to live happy and productive lives. My son is only 5 and I'm having trouble with the school district wanting to change or should I say drop his AU dx because they are so impressed with his amazing intelligence (they suspect he's highly gifted-I do too) and see him as only "odd or eccentric". I honestly think thats a mistake and wanted to find a place to discuss it with others who might be able to be more objective or knowledgable.
