Dr. Temple Grandin gets to the real issues of autism—the ones parents and teachers face every day. Autism and Education: The Way I See It is a concise handbook that illustrates what Dr. Grandin has found, from her experience, to work in the field of education.

Topics include:

  • How higher expectations lead to higher results
  • How to develop talent
  • The importance of practical problem-solving skills
  • How learning never stops
  • And much more

Temple offers helpful dos and don’ts, practical strategies, and try-it-now tips, all based on her insider perspective as well as a great deal of research. Most excitingly, she argues that raising and education for kids on the autism spectrum must focus on their long-overlooked strengths to foster their unique contributions.

so much of this book can be summed up with the phrase "back in my day." And so much of that is just the same tired old tropes that you get in a nightly news or any random pearl-clutching article. if you're a parent with a young autistic child and you have never heard of the internet, this might be the book for you. If you are autistic, want to teach autistic students, or have any exposure to autism in the real world, this isn't going to be helpful.

I expected so much more from Temple Grandin. only being "allowed" to still or engage in autistic behaviors for one or two hours a day, and only in her bedroom, is so messed up. ABA is not right for many, many kids. and there should be no "minimum" number of ABA hours per week that applies to all autistic children. I couldn't even finish reading this.
