I don't know if people will ever be able to talk to animals the way Doctor Doolittle could, or whether animals will be able to talk back. Maybe science will have something to say about that. But I do know people can learn to "talk" to animals, and to hear what animals have to say, better than they do now. --From Animals in Translation Why would a cow lick a tractor? Why are collies getting dumber? Why do dolphins sometimes kill for fun? How can a parrot learn to spell? How did wolves teach man to evolve? Temple Grandin draws upon a long, distinguished career as an animal scientist and her own experiences with autism to deliver an extraordinary message about how animals act, think, and...

Перевод статьи «Temple Grandin Reveals Her Advice for Educating Autistic Kids». Согласно Темпл Грандин, следует смотреть на то, что ребёнок может делать, а не на то, что он/она делать не может. Нужно в первую очередь делать акцент на развитии и расширении тех навыков, в которых ребёнок хорош. Такие ярлыки как дислексия, СДВГ или аутизм слишком часто ограничивают представления людей рамками, и они уже не в состоянии ничего увидеть за ярлыком. Навыки же детей, получающих такие ярлыки, зачастую неровны. Они могут быть талантливы в одной области и иметь серьёзные дефициты в другой.

Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is a gifted animal scientist who has designed one third of all the livestock-handling facilities in the United States. She also lectures widely on autism because she is autistic, a woman who thinks, feels, and experiences the world in ways that are incomprehensible to the rest of us. In this unprecedented book, Grandin writes from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic person. She tells us how she managed to breach the boundaries of autism to function in the outside world. What emerges is the document of an extraordinary human being, one who gracefully bridges the gulf between her condition and our own while shedding light on our common identity.
