I think one of the worst things they did in some of the schools was taking out hands-on classes.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Temple Grandiin: Unleasing the Power of Autistic Minds in Society and Industry

And I discussed that in visual thinking.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Temple Grandiin: Unleasing the Power of Autistic Minds in Society and Industry

That's for my kind of thinker.

I did a talk with a bank and something that's highly specialized and their knowledge is appreciated by the customer.

Temple Grandiin: Unleasing the Power of Autistic Minds in Society and Industry
