[QUOTE="Fran, post: 135254, member: 3"] Marguerite, there is no doubt that Temple Grandin is affected and rigid but she functions. She has a full and successful life. I doubt my son will ever be in the realm of non eccentric but if he could have successes that he could call his own, I would feel at peace that my son has reached out for a full life. There is a personal satisfaction and heightened self esteem if one is successful in your work life. It's a big part of the foundation that we build on as we become mature adults. Her mother worked with very little information and no support. At that time, mother's were catagorized as refrigerator mom's and the cause of autism. She didn't let that stop her from making Temple grow into an independent, productive person. It's a pretty heavy burden for a mother to bear and yet continue to do what she felt was right for Temple. No shame. It was very unusual in those days. [/QUOTE]
