There’s a big controversy over that lady who invented the way to keep cattle calm while they are being led to the slaughterhouse, Temple Whatshername. Some say she is autistic, others say she is just an eccentric fraud capatilizing on a disorder. That’s the problems you have when a net is cast too wide.
Other than Temple Grandin, are there other movies about folks in the Autism spectrum who are making tons of money off of their pretend like disorder?
Net too wide?
When a disorder goes from affecting 1 in 10,000 to 1 in < 200,
you cannot cast the net too wide.
That order of magnitude is not explicable by increased awareness and reporting, or people just making things up.
For all of the people here, that award themselves a recognition of intelligence for merely not being liberal,there is an overwhelming lack of flat out common sense.
Temple Grandin. Fascinating woman. She was the keynote speaker at my professional convention two years ago. I didn't doubt her Asperger's diagnosis for a moment! If she's capitalizing on her disability, I say more power to her. I have a disabled brother; would that he could profit from his blindness. It would sure beat the heck out of his unemployment.
