Hi Everyone,
         I have known Temple since the 1970's.  She is amazing, certainly
worth hearing in person. You can rent, borrow or watch thru
Netflix the movie about her 
http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Temple-Grandin/70132542
I have seen her talk so many times, I am not interested in going up to
Fond du Lac, she spoke at a conference I organized back in 1986, and
stayed with me!! That was a long time ago, for sure.
         She has given professionals and families associated with autism
so much insight and a great deal of hope.

> Hi Lekooks!
> I just found out that Dr. Temple Grandin is giving a lecture on May 20th
> at Marion University in Fond du Lac.  The lecture is about autism and
> Savant Syndrome, and Dr. Grandin is well-known for her own unique
> abilities with autism.  The lecture goes from 7-9pm and is free to the
> public.  I learned a lot about Dr. Grandin while in vet tech school (she
> has done many studies regarding animal handling and has re-invented a lot
> of methods for the most humane treatment of animals - cows, pigs, sheep,
> etc. - going to slaughter).  Even though this lecture is mainly regarding
> autism, I'd really like to hear her talk.
