We were given the rare opportunity to share breakfast with Dr. Temple Grandin at one of our last public gatherings in 2019. She gave us insights on everything from Greta Thunberg to her FMRI on 60 Minutes to how to get teens on the spectrum more meaningful employment opportunities. Temple also told a great story of how she learned how to drive a truck at her aunt’s farm. Here are two excerpts from the conversation with guests including Dr. Mary Kientz and Susan O’Neill. #autismawareness #autismacceptance #faces4autism #lifeonthebrightside #autismspectrumdisorder #truckloadsofacceptance

Today’s t-shirt is Autism and lots of other words that go with it. Hope. Acceptance, Love. Awareness. It’s about the people who are there for you throughout the lifespan. Mothers take on the task in various ways, and selfless behavior often goes unrewarded. Take time to allow weary caregivers to respite, renew and rejoice in their down time so that they can be their best selves. #faces4autism #lifeonthebrightside #caregivers #autismacceptance #selfcare
