Temple Grandin Discusses Her Autistic Mind

I recently watched HBO’s wonderfully done biopic Temple Grandin, about an autistic woman of the same name who grew up to graduate from college and become a pioneering animal scientist. The film did a brilliant job of portraying how her autism caused her to perceive the world. In this TED talk, Grandin explains just that. I [...]

Brainstorming

Photo courtesy of alex92287 I was at a party not long ago when the topic of brainstorming came up and I said how much I loved the exercise, to which one guy responded with a dismissive wave of the hand. “Brainstorming,” he intoned, “is a waste of time.” His contention was that most of the time devoted to [...]
