In this episode, Harold Reitman, M.D. speaks with celebrated autism advocate and author Dr. Temple Grandin. The two, who have previously met and presented along side each other at conferences, had a chance encounter in an airport that they decided to turn into an episode of Exploring Different Brains. Because of this the audio of this episode is not up to our normal standards, but we hope you will still enjoy it and benefit from Dr. Grandin’s wise words. She discusses the importance of people on the spectrum learning how to have a job, the need for job and social skills to be taught to children, and the need for people on the spectrum to move outside their comfort zones.
