“The Woman Who Thinks Like A Cow”
September 30, 2007
Just a heads up about a cool documentary on SBS tonight at 8:30 on one of my favourite people, Dr. Temple Grandin.
Dr Grandin is a brilliant example of how the unique abilities of someone with Aspergers Syndrome are invaluable when matched with the right occupation / area of knowledge. Grandin is a Professor of Animal Science.
On the documentary, there’s a moment in it that annoys me that I have to mention. There’s a scene where it’s suggested that her autism accounts for her lack of interest in women’s magazines - but of course you don’t need to be autistic to think that women’s magazines are boring!
