Here are some **verified quotes of wisdom from Temple Grandin** (professor, author, and autism advocate):



**On different kinds of minds**

> “The world needs all kinds of minds.”
> (Source: *The World Needs All Kinds of Minds* – TED Talk, 2010)

**On curiosity and discovery**

> “I am different, not less.”
> (Source: *The Autistic Brain* (2013), and also repeated in her talks)

**On visual thinking**

> “I think in pictures. Words are like a second language to me.”
> (Source: *Thinking in Pictures* (1995))

**On persistence and problem-solving**

> “The thing about being autistic is that you gradually get less autistic, because you keep learning. I was a very severe autistic child and now I’m a college professor.”
> (Source: *Interview with CBS News*, 2006)

**On mentoring and support**

> “What would happen to me if there were no mentors, no teachers, no support?”
> (Source: *TED Talk*, 2010)

**On valuing unique strengths**

> “The most interesting people you’ll find are ones that don’t fit into your average cardboard box. They’ll make what they need, they’ll make their own box.”
> (Source: *The Way I See It: A Personal Look at Autism and Asperger’s* (2008))
