[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 135264, member: 1991"] I agree. I think both of them deserve credit. I remember at that conference that Temple herself gave a lot of credit to her mother, and also her nanny, I think it was - someone her family hired to work with her, to keep her interacting. How absolutely wonderful that they achieved what they did! Especially given the thinking at that time. Her mother must be an incredible woman, to fight so hard for her daughter against the odds and against a system and diagnosis that seemed so bleak. Add in the thinking at that time, that autism was the result of a "cold mother" - I'd like to think I could have fought like that, but I really don't know. I do know that there have been many times when I accepted the word of someone (a teacher, or a doctor) who in fact had got things badly wrong. I hope you don't think I was being critical or belittling their achievements in any way - far from it. I view them both as vital trailblazers. Thanks for this post, by the way. I didn't know before this that Temple's mother was also sharing her experiences. Stands to reason, though. Marg [/QUOTE]
