Temple Grandin Says Children with Autism Need to Work

It's always welcome news when people recognize that despite their condition, children with autism can (and should be) productive. In this piece from Irish Central, Dr Temple Grandin was highlighted for speaking about how Autism made it possible for her to excel in what she understood best. I fully understand what she means everytime I hear Matthew sing or play with toy drums. He has this innate ability for rhythm that he has had since age 2. Will he be a singer someday? Will he play the drums professionally in the future? It will be up to us parents to nurture the talents of children with autism to full bloom :-)
