A great talk by a very amazing person. Dr. Temple Grandin talks about her experience with Autism – A rare look into their world.  I am very interested in how we can make art that could interact with autistic people. If you know of any interesting links in the subject of assistive/art technology for Autism please leave them in a comment. It would be great to think of some sort of interactive environment or object that will allow children with autism to play, explore and be creative in a safe, controlled space, while exercising and gaining more social skills.  This lecture is really fascinating, but it is also a little strange and it is a about an hour long. So bookmark this page and come back when you have a free hour to watch the whole thing. You wouldn’t want to stop in the middle anyway.
