How do you come to accept yourself as who you are? Panelists say "great parents & friends who treat me the same." "Not thinking about a disability as an impediment." "It hasn't been easy, but I'm excited about my work. That keeps pushing me along." #stemshowcase
Did your disability impede your education? Yes & no. #technology was a big help to our panelists. So was preferential seating - sit up front! #stemshowcase
Why is school important? To figure out your strengths & weaknesses and to learn the fundamentals of many topics. #stemshowcase
Favorite video game & favorite movie #lightninground #stemshowcase
Every question came from attendees who are here today #stemshowcase
Panel time hosted by @edsummersnc #stemshowcase
Favorite books of @TempleGrandin as a kid #stemshowcase
"Like a phone on one bar, you've got to give the time for the web page to load." #attentionswitching #stemshowcase
"Don't let #autism become your primary identity. #Scientist comes first." @TempleGrandin #stemshowcase
Her work history is varied - it's important to learn hard work from a young age, says @TempleGrandin #stemshowcase
Understanding #animalbehavior requires visual thinking & sensory skills (not verbal) #stemshowcase
.@TempleGrandin: AI thinks like me, a bottom up thinker." #stemshowcase
New book coming out by @TempleGrandin where kids can do some of the projects she did as a kid. Look for it! #stemshowcase
Problems w/ #reproducibility in science, look at the methods section in research #stemshowcase @TempleGrandin
4 types of thinking: photo realistic visual thinking, pattern thinker, verbal facts, auditory thinker #stemshowcase
What would happen to these 2 today? Are we missing the next Jobs or Einstein? #stemshowcase
Unique minds grow up w/ books, hands-on projects, learn to work hard, aren't overspecialized, have mentors & internships, and creative outlets says @TempleGrandin #stemshowcase
Many famous #innovators were different, experienced bullying, but were hard workers w/ exposure to career opportunities #stemshowcase
