#InvisibleTouch
Temple Grandin realized her needs for touch and developed her own “squeeze box”, based on her work with cattle. People diagnosed with autism often have atypical sensory systems, requiring different types of touch.
Enjoyed Dr. Grandin's discussion today. I enjoyed her straightforward approach. She offered practical solutions, as opposed to theories. If you ever get a chance to hear her speak, I would recommend it. A young man that she mentored from his shyness as an autistic kid to an artist, much of his work is done with torn paper, also joined her on stage. He is truly a talented artist.
