really are stupid.
Review Paper:
Temple Grandin growing up with autism, a time when many
doctors did not know how to correctly diagnose or handle autistic patients.
who has the potential to change the way people see mental disabilities.
Temple Grandin, was an autistic child growing up throughout the 1950s and
1960s,
Temple’s mom sent her to work on her aunt’s farm for the
summers and this is where Temple fell in love with the cattle-ranching world.
this was exactly what she was told. Her mother would not do this to Temple
so she worked with Temple day in and day out in order to help her to learn
to speak. When Temple’s mother brought her in to see a doctor at age four
because Temple had not yet spoken, She is now a professor at Colorado
State University but also lectures worldwide about animal handling and
autism. She is most known for her incredibly influential work in the fairer
treatment of cattle and through her writings on both this topic, and autism.
The idea of having one’s own explanatory model for any kind of
illness includes both those of schizophrenia and disabilities like autism.
Autism was not a huge part of the mental illness section within this course.
Temple soon found out that she saw the world in a similar way as the cattle.
Because of her autism, she was able to look at the cattle-ranching world
through the animals’ eyes rather than the eyes of the farmers. The focus
was more on illnesses such as schizophrenia, rather than disabilities such as
autism.
I recommend to the readers the Temple Grandin was really nice
and there is a lesson to learned.
