Temple Grandin’s Advice for Parents of Children with Autism
Be true to yourself
While she is a visual learner, she recognizes that all autistic children have different abilities and gifts that might make them more adept at other skills, all of which should be fostered according to the individual. Her message has always been the same, and echoes with a truism that society has been preaching for decades: always be true to yourself.
