TED Talks

One of my favorite web sites is: www.ted.com. This site features amazing talks given by all kinds of fascinating people.

Recently, I saw this talk by Temple Grandin, who was diagnosed with autism as a child. She talks about helping autistic children find their niche, and how teachers can help them succeed. It's very interesting to hear from someone who experiences autism and has found a way to use it to her advantage. I like how she doesn't think of it as a bad thing - it's not something to be ashamed of, or is holding her back. She has really embraced the way she thinks.

Check out her TED talk here.
