Temple Grandin Presentation

Temple Grandin was amazing, she is an amazingly intelligent woman and was so interesting to listen to. As she was up presenting there was a lot of distractions with rustling of chairs and people moving around and coming in and out, with her disorder it's common for people with her disorder to get distracted very easily, but it was amazing she was able to still stay concentrated and in focus. She has trained herself to overcome that, and is able to be a great presenter. At times she would frequently change topics and ramble, but for the most part she was pretty easy to follow. It was interesting to be able to hear about autism from someone that actually has the disorder and what she has done to overcome her weaknesses. This presentation has made it clear to me that it's so important to understand autism, because they will be in our classes and we will associate with people just like her. It was great to be able to hear some strengths and weaknesses to be aware of for our future teaching experience.
