GREELEY, Colo. - Temple Grandin says the problem with education today is there is too much focus on socialization skills and not enough on hands-on learning.
Grandin, 63, said she would have never become the woman she is today had it not been for a mother who surrounded her with intervention and a science teacher who mentored her to do more.
Grandin, one of the best-known adults living with autism and the subject of an HBO movie documenting her life, spoke to more than 100 students, faculty and staff of Aims Community College on Monday on sensory-based thinking and how to deal with autism.
