More quotes by Temple Grandin
- Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. You don't want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldn't have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social 'yak yaks.'
- People are always looking for the single magic bullet that will totally change everything. There is no single magic bullet.
