This offers a communal hug, if you will, by enveloping the animal's life with a safe, healthy, happy and tranquil environment, which we know will undoubtedly provide a better life for them. Their conversations weave between regenerative agriculture, animal welfare, and consumer demand. The speakers discuss the importance of integrating livestock with crops, the challenges faced in modern agriculture, and the role of youth in shaping the future of farming. They emphasize the need for visual thinking and innovation in agricultural practices, as well as the impact of climate change on food production. Featuring: Dr Temple Grandin is an American scientist and industrial designer whose own experience with autism funded her professional work in creating systems to counter stress in certain human and animal populations.Dr. Grandin did not talk until she was three and a half years old. She was fortunate to get early speech therapy. Her teachers also taught her how to wait and take turns when playing board games. She was mainstreamed into a normal kindergarten at age five. Dr. Grandin became a prominent author and speaker on both autism and animal behavior. Today she is a professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. She also has a successful career consulting on both livestock handling equipment design and animal welfare. She has been featured on NPR (National Public Radio) and a BBC Special – "The Woman Who Thinks Like a Cow". HBO made an Emmy Award winning movie about her life and she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2016.Gabe BrownGabe Brown is one of the pioneers of the current soil health movement which focuses on the regeneration of our resources.

Today's episode continues with visual thinking. We will learn more about the accelerated learning patterns with visual thinking and the Autistic phenotype. Autistic individuals create detailed mental "catalogs" of images and experiences, much like AI's data processing. We explore Temple Grandin's vivid descriptions of thinking in pictures, alongside early observations from Kanner (1943) and Asperger (1944), who noted autistic intelligence in their "little professors." The discussion covers weak central coherence theory & specific details drives exceptional learning but can complicate social interactions and broader contextual understanding.We will discuss the Autistic brain and machine learning, from pattern recognition to iterative refinement. Enhanced neural connections, like those linking the visual and frontal cortex, enable Autistic individuals to excel in tasks requiring precision, such as spotting subtle differences or memorizing facts. The episode contrasts this unique cognitive style with societal norms, advocating for embracing these strengths.Frith & Happe Weak Central Coherence https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10803-005-0039-0Visual Thinking part 1: Neurobiology & Autistic's Intense Inner World https://youtu.be/XqQ8jCvWzYc?si=3cEIm1omi0JUAKSKDaylight Computer Companyuse "autism" for $50 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devicesuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 - Introduction to Visual Thinking; "movies" in the mind, and its impact on learning.02:02 - Historical Context of Autism References to Leo Kanner (1943) and Hans Asperger (1944) highlight early observations of autistic intelligence, with terms like "little professors" and "autism" (from "autos," meaning self)04:01 - Social Norms vs. Autistic Phenotype The autistic cognitive style contrasts with societal expectations, which favor fitting individuals into predictable "boxes" for evaluation and acceptance, making social integration and education challenging for autistic individuals.06:01 - Cataloging and AI Parallels; mental catalogs & specific images or experiences, similar to AI & machine learning, catalogs for categories08:46 Weak Central Coherence Theory; local, detail-oriented processing over global integration, enabling strengths like spotting hidden shapes10:28 Enhanced Perceptual Functioning, visual and auditory domains, allowing precise cataloging of sensory details, tasks & precision.12:02 Anecdotal Person Comparison & Associative Learning15:30 Pattern Recognition and Detail Focus18:26 Types of Visual Thinkers20:36 Neural Connectivity23:22 Perceptual Learning and Neuroplasticity; Accelerated learning27:04 AI and Autistic Brain Similarities33:35 Daylight Computer Company (and Daylight Kids !), use "autism" for $50 discount35:53 Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount38:59 Don't underestimate this Autistic Phenotype.X: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

This episode started with a simple question I asked on social media: “What's a weird habit of yours that you wonder if it's tied to your ADHD/AuDHD?” Hundreds of responses came in. This is part 2 of this three part series. In this episode the theme is the body-based side of ADHD and AuDHD—the textures we can't stand, the stims that keep us grounded, rituals around food, the need for symmetry, and all the little physical quirks that help us regulate.

Today's episode is all about visual thinking. We will explore vivid mental imagery and sensory processing. We will cover why Autistic individuals process detailed "pictures and movies" in the mind, exemplified by an anecdote of visualizing oak tree bark with tactile detail. Sensory challenges are highlighted, with a Bee Movie analogy illustrating the intense, efficient visual input. The Autistic sensory journey is described as fast but rocky, contrasting with non-autistic processing. Hyperconnectivity in visual pathways amplifies detail-oriented cognition, often leading to sensory overload.The episode explains how retinal ganglion cells and visual cortex hyperactivity enhance imagery in Autism. Kanner and Asperger's observations underscore visual memory strengths and technical interests, like pattern recognition. Increased mini-column density and reduced inhibition boost local processing but risk overload. Temple Grandin's insights show visual thinking's strengths in tasks like designing animal pathways, though social tasks challenge due to weaker prefrontal connectivity. The Autistic brain's wiring is framed as a unique strength, fostering intense, detailed cognitionTemple Grandin https://www.templegrandin.com/templegrandinbooks.htmlSensory Processing part 1 https://youtu.be/HTnFm8nY4oY?si=4Xso_tI_hMwhY_SXSensory Processing part 2 https://youtu.be/n31gyLb4ddM?si=CouaBhiVm8KixtG-Supplementing Relationships part 1 https://youtu.be/lglEGQ7pSlc?si=ncpla784LxOyUcQcSupplementing Relationships part 2 https://youtu.be/W8E2B7Qu4mg?si=UJE850SwvPmtOmEkDaylight Computer Companyuse "autism" for $50 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devicesuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 Introduction to Visual Thinking02:00 Anecdote: Oak Tree Visualization; tree bark, tactile05:50 Sensory Processing Challenges; overload, information rate, avoidance09:40 Anecdote: Bee Movie Analogy; synchronized, intense, fast13:30 Autistic Sensory Rates/Speeds17:20 Eye Biology and Neural Relays; Retinal ganglion, SHANK3; Building Models details-to-general21:10 Magnocellular vs. Parvocellular Pathways; Motion, color, glutamate, GABA signaling25:00 Visual Cortex Hyperactivity; V1-V4, fMRI, synaptic pruning, details28:50 Mini-Columns and Sensory Overload; Neural units, inhibition, dense connections32:40 Kanner and Asperger Insights; Social isolation, technical interests, patterns38:39 Daylight Computer Company (and Daylight KIDS !), use "autism" for $50 discount40:54 Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount44:07 Reviews/Ratings & Contact InfoX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Nancy Sheed, host of HAYVN Hubcast talks with author Betsy Lerner, and she takes us from blue pencils and slush piles to BookTok and bestsellers. She shares how she moved from editorial roles at major houses to agenting for the flexibility publishing didn't offer at the time, and how that entrepreneurial leap paid off.  We get her “discoverability” playbook (from magazine racks on the streets of New York to TikTok), candid advice on today's path to publication, the backstory of Shred Sisters, and her refreshingly practical mindset on rejection: don't dwell on no, keep looking for the yes. Nancy's conversation with Betsy covers:  Breaking into publishing (then vs. now): The traditional path runs through a literary agent, and today, platform, credentials, or media access often matter (especially in nonfiction). Fiction still benefits from strong pedigree and publication credits. From editor to agent: Betsy left editorial for agenting to gain flexibility while raising a child. She brought authors she'd developed as an editor, pairing editorial instincts with a builder's mindset. Talent discovery, old-school and new: Pre-internet, she scoured magazine racks to spot compelling voices, famously writing to “Merlin” (Neil deGrasse Tyson) after seeing his cosmos cartoons. Today, she finds serious experts on TikTok and checks longer-form writing (e.g., Substack) to validate voice. TikTok is not just “kids dancing”: BookTok (and STEM talk) hosts passionate, informed communities that genuinely move book sales these days. Consistency and a clear “lane” matter; think of it as your own channel. Creating Shred Sisters: After an intensive nonfiction collaboration with Temple Grandin, Betsy unexpectedly drafted her novel over seven months during COVID, then spent two years revising. The story was fueled by profound personal losses and deepened bonds with her sisters. Thick skin required: Even as a well-known agent, Betsy got rejections on her novel and emphasizes not getting mired in the “no.” You only need the right “yes.” Connect with Betsy The Forest for the Trees: An Editors Advice to Writers Website TikTok Connect with Nancy LinkedIn  Instagram Website

This morning we learn that not only are we prohibited from causing unnecessary pain to any living creature, but we are also not allowed to cause anxiety or emotional turmoil of any kind. We highlight the work of Dr. Temple Grandin, the world's expert on designing equipment that keeps animals calm. She attributes this ability to her autism, which causes her to see the world in a way similar to how animals see it. We then explore the work of Betty Rollin, Dr. Wendy Harpham, and others who see their experience of cancer - terrible as that is - as leading them to live happier lives.

Together, they explore how therapeutic riding centers can do more than just offer horse time—they can create whole environments of sensory safety, meaningful skill-building, and community resilience.Dr. Grandin shares her personal experiences growing up autistic, her early fears and breakthroughs, and the real-life tools that helped her thrive—tools that every equine program can apply. From using turn-taking games to stimulate speech to setting up repair shops and greeter stations to build confidence and career readiness, this episode is a blueprint for any equine-assisted center aiming to have deeper impact. If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome ✨ What You'll Learn in This Episode:The Power of Observation & Following the Child (Starts at 01:00)How Rupert adapted Temple's three-step approach to help his nonverbal sonWhy nature and movement are essential for sensory integrationEquine Interaction & Sensory Patterns (Starts at 04:00)The three ways autistic kids respond to animalsWhat PET scans and OTs show about rhythm, balance, and the cerebellumWhy nature and gardens still matter even without horsesEarly Intervention with Church Play & Library Play (Starts at 07:00)Why many children can't afford to be on waitlistsTurn-taking games and imitation as entry pointsHow to tap into local retirees to fill gaps in early interventionTheory of Mind & Naturalistic Learning (Starts at 08:30)Flapping, spinning coins, and making daisy chains as foundational social engagementHow structured tasks lead to intellectual developmentHigh Expectations with Support (Starts at 14:00)Accommodating without overprotecting: ferry horns and dessert rulesWhy selling candy and hosting parties mattered for both Temple and Bill GatesPractical Skills, Tools & Trades (Starts at 20:00)From coat hangers to glue guns: the neuroscience of hands-on learningHow fixing things builds brains and self-worthRebuilding the Workshop Culture (Starts at 28:00)Why shop class should return to therapeutic barnsVisual thinkers vs. math thinkers: all kinds of brains need tactile trainingUsing retired mechanics, carpenters, and engineers as mentorsStructured Responsibility Around the Barn (Starts at 34:00)Real tasks: mucking, grooming, feeding, building stallsHow responsibility leads to confidence and safety awarenessSocial Skills Training through Greeting & Selling (Starts at 43:00)Simulating cookie sales, greeter roles, and party host behaviorControlled exposure to rejection and resilience buildingJob Skills, Routine & Community Integration (Starts at 51:00)Creating modern equivalents of paper routes with local volunteersWhy non-family bosses matter for skill-buildingTap into senior centers to address budget shortfallsThe Cost of Screen Time & the Value of Movement (Starts at 54:00)How too much tech stunts developmentWhat real-world vestibular tasks do for brain growthCognitive, Motor & Emotional Growth Through Challenge (Starts at 59:00)The science behind tool use, play, and heavy workBalancing boards, swings, and walking rails in arenas and homesMedication, Anxiety & Exercise (Starts at 67:00)Temple's 40-year experience with antidepressantsWhy burst exercise helps more than walkingHow low-dose meds plus movement can regulate fear systems

The profound notion that each of us is born for a unique purpose comes under McKay's learned scrutiny in this week's episode of the Open Your Eyes podcast. Noting that true happiness isn't found in mere achievements, our host demonstrates that discovering and living this purpose, especially through serving others, is actually the key. The episode is filled with powerful and inspiring stories of individuals who turned immense challenges into their greatest strengths. From Kevin Briggs, the "Guardian of the Golden Gate Bridge," to one-legged NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles, and from Olympian Michael Phelps to autism advocate Dr. Temple Grandin, McKay breaks down how our past doesn't disqualify us but prepares us for our purpose. Listen in now to discover how to find your own reason for being and transform your perspective on life, challenges, and happiness.Main Themes:You were born for a purpose, and discovering it is the key to true happiness.Your past doesn't disqualify you from your purpose; it prepares you for it.Your unique differences can be your greatest strengths.Lasting change begins with changing the way you think, not just with willpower.True purpose is often found in using your story to help and serve others.You don't need perfect conditions to start living your purpose.Small acts of compassion can lead to world-changing innovations.Listen to the whisper that says, "Maybe I could do something."Challenges and mistakes can lead you to the very place you are meant to be.Happiness is found in the pursuit of purpose, not just the achievement of goals.Top 10 Quotes:"I don't think I was born with a disadvantage. I think I was born for a reason.""I realized my past didn't disqualify me from my purpose. It prepared me for it.""I think the world needs different kinds of minds to work together. My difference is my strength.""I found that winning gold medals wasn't my purpose. My purpose is helping people who struggle like I did.""Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart and gave you a purpose.""You are the way you are because you were born for a purpose.""The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel influences the way you act.""We can't be what we can't see.""It's okay not to be okay."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

For today's episode, we will expand on Autism & Relationships and introduce a very fascinating phenomena of "Supplementing" relationships. We will cover what Autism means, intense, "dream" like states, visual thinking & seeing movies. This might be hard for you to understand and you cannot verify any of this. In addition, you cannot see this thinking style, you can only guess.

While scientific breakthroughs continue to reshape our understanding of how these substances work, psychedelics are also at the center of debates about religious freedom, mystical experiences, politics, and how we treat mental health.For more than thirty years, Michael Pollan has been writing about the places where the human and natural worlds intersect: on our plates, in our farms and gardens, and in our minds. His acclaimed books include How to Change Your Mind, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and The Botany of Desire. Pollan co-founded the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics.Gül Dölen is professor at UC Berkeley in the Departments of Neuroscience and Psychology. Her research expertise and interests include behavioral and systems neuroscience, psychedelics, social behavior, evolution, synaptic plasticity, extracellular matrix, oxytocin and stroke, autism, PTSD, and addiction.Indre Viskontas is a cognitive neuroscientist with the University of San Francisco and a faculty member at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

What does it really mean to be a “good woman”? For the controversial podcaster and writer Elise Loehnen, female goodness is a misery trap. And so reclaim their happiness, to make themselves whole, Loehnen says, women need to stop being good. The former goop executive and co-author of the upcoming Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness explains how the seven deadly sins reveal women's hidden conditioning, how the wellness industry became toxic, and why the Enneagram can help women embrace their full selves—including the darker, "unacceptable" parts they've been taught to suppress. five key takeaways 1. The "Good Woman" Performance is Exhausting Women are conditioned to suppress basic human instincts—never being tired, needing no praise, having compliant bodies, avoiding anger—which requires enormous energy and is driven by fear of social rejection.2. The Seven Deadly Sins Reveal Female Conditioning What society labels as "sins" (pride, envy, sloth, etc.) are actually normal human traits that women are taught to repress, creating a "punch card" for performing goodness to the world.3. Women Police Each Other Through Envy Instead of recognizing envy as a signal pointing toward what we want, women often use it destructively to tear down other women who have what they desire—like the backlash against Goop.4. The Drama Triangle Keeps Us Stuck Most people operate in victim-villain-hero dynamics, blaming others instead of taking responsibility. Breaking free requires recognizing these patterns and creating different conditions in your life.5. Wholeness Beats Goodness True liberation comes from integrating all parts of yourself—including the "darker" aspects you've been taught to hide—rather than performing an impossible standard of perfection.Elise Loehnen is a writer, editor, and podcast host who lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their two sons, Max and Sam. She is the host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are—and then putting those threads back together.

She has co-written thirteen books, five of which were New York Times bestsellers, including True and False Magic with psychiatrist Phil Stutz. Her upcoming co-authored Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness will be published in August.

John and Julie Gottman, Dr. Richard Schwartz, Joy Harjo, Dr. B.J. Miller, Nedra Tawwab, Dr. Suzanne Simard, Susan Cain, Heather McGhee, Dr. Riane Eisler, and Terry Real.

Discover what's possible when different brains come together.  Dr. Temple Grandin is well known for both her pioneer work as an autism advocate and her lifelong dedication to animal welfare. Through groundbreaking research aimed at understanding her own autistic mind, Dr. Grandin propelled the awareness of autism during a time when very little was known of it. She is an incredible source of hope for children with autism, their parents, and anyone with a dream.  Dr. Grandin became an internationally recognized leader in animal handling innovations after developing a corral that improved the quality of life of cattle by reducing stress. She has consulted with the USDA and major corporations such as McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Whole Foods, and Chipotle. Today, half of the cattle in North America are handled in facilities she designed.  Dr. Grandin is also a prominent author, having written several books on autism and animal behavior. She has been featured on various media outlets and programs, including NPR, BBC, Larry King Live, 2020, Sixty Minutes, and TED, to name a few. In 2010, HBO produced an Emmy Award-winning movie about her life, and later that year, she was highlighted in TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2016, she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. These days, Dr. Grandin continues to write and teaches Animal Science at Colorado State University.  In this episode, we discuss: The spectrum of autism needs The evolution of diagnostic criteria  Dr. Grandin's opinion on the removal of Asperger's syndrome from the DSM-5 and the classification of autism under a single umbrella The neurodiversity movement ABA therapy Teaching autism awareness in schools Mental health challenges faced by autistic individuals Tips for autistic self-advocates, encouraging targeted advocacy and constructive action to make a difference in their communities For more information about Dr. Grandin and her work, please visit:  https://www.templegrandin.com/   https://www.grandin.com/ ----more---- This conversation with Dr. Temple Grandin was originally released on December 10, 2020.  Dr. Grandin's most recent book Autism and Education: The Way I See It: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know was published in April 2023. ----more---- We appreciate your time.

Matt delves into the science of weighted blankets for sleep improvement in this week's episode. These heavy covers (10-40 lbs) utilize Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS), a concept originating from Dr. Temple Grandin's 1960s work. DPS is theorized to shift the nervous system from "fight-or-flight" to a calmer parasympathetic state by potentially increasing serotonin and activating brain regions involved in emotional regulation, like the insular cortex, thereby fostering a state conducive to sleep.Matt describes research whose highlights include a 2020 study where 42% of insomnia patients achieved remission with weighted blankets, and a 2021 study that showed healthy adults experienced increased deep sleep and less restlessness. Benefits are also noted for children with ADHD. Proposed mechanisms extend to reduced awakenings and anxiety. While studies show promise for specific groups, larger, objective trials are still needed. Weighted blankets (around 10% body weight) are best viewed as a potential aid alongside good sleep hygiene.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of our sponsors this week is the biochemical electrolyte drink company LMNT, and they are very kindly offering eight free sample packs when you purchase any one of their orders at drinklmnt.com/mattwalker.

What if the way we learn isn't just through words and pictures—but through movement, emotion, rhythm, and story? In this essay, I introduce Plural Coding Theory, a model that expands on Paivio's Dual Coding and brings in insights from psychology, education, philosophy, trauma studies, and neurodiversity. Drawing from thinkers like Temple Grandin, Bessel van der Kolk, Antonio Damasio, and Vygotsky, I make the case for a new, whole-person way of learning and meaning-making that is inclusive, embodied, and deeply human.

What if the way you learn is also the way you heal? In this deep-dive essay, we explore the minds of Temple Grandin and Iain McGilchrist alongside lived experience to challenge outdated ideas of “normal.” From visual thinking to hemispheric integration, we uncover how atypical minds aren't broken—they're bridges to a richer, more complete way of being. Whether you're neurodivergent, a lifelong learner, or just curious about how the brain makes meaning, this is your invitation to think—and feel—differently.

Transcript: rmad.ac/AIAe073Dr. Temple Grandin is an academic inventor and animal behavior scientist. She's a proponent of the humane treatment of livestock for slaughter and the author of more than 60 scientific papers on animal behavior. Dr. Grandin is a consultant to the livestock industry, where she offers advice on animal behavior.As an autistic person, Dr. Grandin did not talk until she was three and a half years old. Eventually, she became one of the first autistic people to document the insights she gained from her personal experiences with autism. Today she's a prominent author and speaker on both autism and animal behavior, and a professor of animal science at Colorado State University. She also has a successful career consulting on both livestock handling, equipment design, and animal welfare. Dr. Grandin has been featured on NPR and BBC and has appeared on national TV shows such as Larry King Live, 20/20, 60 Minutes, Fox and Friends, and she has a 2010 Ted Talk.Articles about Dr. Grandin have appeared in Time Magazine, New York Times, Discover Magazine, Forbes and USA Today. HBO made an Emmy Award-winning movie about her life, and she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2016. When Dr. Grandin was young, she was considered weird and teased and bullied in high school. The only place she had friends were activities where there was a shared interest such as horses, electronics, or model rockets. Mr. Carlock, her science teacher, was an important mentor who encouraged her interest in science. When she had a new goal of becoming a scientist, she had a reason for studying. Today, half of the cattle in the United States are handled in facilities she has designed.Connect with Temple: Welcome to Temple Grandin's Official Autism WebsiteTemple Grandin's WebsiteTemple Grandin - Books and DVDsAmazon.com: Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions: 9780593418369: Grandin PhD, Temple: BooksTemple Grandin | Watch the Movie on HBO | HBO.comConnect with the Rocky Mountain ADA Center at RockyMountainADA.org or find us on social media.

On Today's special episode Shannon talks with Dr. Temple Grandin about her biggest concerns for the autism community today.  Dr. Grandin also answers questions from viewers around the world.

For the last day of National Autism Awareness Month, we are sharing a 2012 interview with best-selling author Sy Montgomery, talking about her book "Temple Grandin: How the girl who loved cows embranced Autism and changed the world." After that comes an excerpt from a 2006 interview with Temple Grandin herself, talking about her best-known book, "Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior." In the book, Grandin explains how her autism has actually enhanced her ability to understand the thinking of animals and how they see and move through the world.

In this special 2-part episode, Dale Hunt sits down with Jaymie to preview the Texoma Spring Classic and the Battle on the Prairie Futurity—two exciting events happening this weekend in Duncan, Oklahoma.Dale, who began his Longhorn journey in 1988, is the founder of the Horn Showcase and owner of Rockin' H Longhorn Ranch. He brings his signature energy (yes, that bam! is back!) as he shares insights about the sale and what attendees can expect.In part two, Jaymie chats with Josh Dinwiddie of Plain Dirt Farms, host of the Battle on the Prairie Futurity now in its second year. Josh breaks down what makes this event special, offers advice for futurity participants, and previews what's ahead for breeders and spectators alike.

As we hit the quarter-century mark in agriculture and ag lending, there’s a tale of two economies unfolding. According to Dr. David Kohl from Virginia Tech’s Department of Agriculture and Applied Economics, the U.S. economy is holding strong, but the global economy is facing headwinds. Stu Muck tells us what rainfall could look like around the state this evening and into the Easter weekend. Spring is the time for bunnies and baby chicks. It's fur and feather swap season at a town near you. In Walworth County, they're gearing up for a swap to help fund the Fur & Feather Sale at the county fair and several scholarships for youth exhibitors. Dr. Temple Grandin tells Ben Jarboe that if you get down and see what an animal sees, then you can better understand their behaviors. At a UW-Madison event, she tells Mid-West Farm Report about key moments in her career that have led her to new animal welfare research today. Ever.Ag dairy analyst and broker Cody Koster joins Mid-West Farm Report with an explanation for the Class III rally. He says, despite the tariff scare, countries can't argue that U.S. dairy products are the cheapest in town, spurring an increase in export numbers, aided by a weaker U.S. dollar. Exports are critical to eating up the domestic supply.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Temple Grandin is a staple in US agriculture, well known for her work on the humane harvest of livestock, as well as the better understanding of the behavior of animals. Recently Temple was in Madison where she spoke about her about the work she has done throughout her life as well as current issues that she is seeing within the animal agriculture industry. She says that if you get down and see what an animal sees then you can better understand their behaviors. One of the biggest issues Dr. Grandin is currently seeing is the breeding of unhealthy animals. She feels it is unethical to breed animals with health issues, knowing that the offspring may also have the issues. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

COME ON, CAROL! In this month's animated spotlight, Bryan and Katie Hampton of Geekscape's Napping Through Happy Hour Podcast take a look at a pair of Lower Decks episodes that are half character assassinations of Captain Carol Freeman. Are the other halves funny, though? Jump straight to "Room for Growth" at (33:44).

Temple Grandin is an amazing scientist who thinks in pictures instead of words. This helped her create new ways to make farms safer and kinder for animals. When she was little, she was diagnosed with autism, but she didn’t let that stop her from changing the world. Now, she teaches people about animals and how different kinds of brains can do incredible things. In this episode, we’ll learn about her life, her ideas, and how she made a big difference. Whether you love animals or just enjoy learning cool things, Temple Grandin’s story will inspire you!

Isabelle and David welcome back Marcus Soutra, co-founder of Eye to Eye and founder of For the Good Consulting, and explore the nature of authenticity, "coolness" and the meaning of masking with nation-wide advocacy expert and fellow ADHD and LD-er. How did being "cool" go from being rich and unaffected to being authentic and open about ND/LD identities? From the loneliness and high masking rates of ADHDers, to Abercrombie & Fitch t-shirts and social media, the ways ND culture has approached masking and unmasking.----Isabelle talks about how being wealthy and affording the performance/clothes of ‘coolness' growing up was Abercrombie & Fitch back in her high school days--these were expensive clothes that you had to get at the mall and were part of the performance of being 'cool.' And what about how much of coolness, at least for a time, was defined by money, or access to certain expensive clothing brands (like Abercrombie and Fitch) What it means to perform and be high masking, for her. There is a coolness factor, the kid who can pick up what's cool has an advantage over the kid who doesn't. Marcus sums it up: are you able to fit in and be embraced by the neurotypical world? And if you can't, there's the loner path, the bully path? The empathy he has for the bully path—they were, in his past, the LD/ND kids who were dealing with loneliness and not masking well and it was their way of finding their way to a role in the school community. 60% of people with ADHD say they mask on regular basis and 33% say there is a loneliness to the experience of having ADHD. Then there's also the pain of being high-masking or being accepted by the neurotypical world, how little practice you have at sitting with who you really are, and finding a stable sense of self. There is a way to be a self to fit in that is not the same as an authentic, self-confident knowing-who-you-are self. The difference between doing it in a healthy way v. doing it in a way to survive. Hard to know what parts of you are okay, and when you're blending into a neurotypical world, there's a significant advantage of being able to read the rooms around social cues. Marginalized senses of self are real, having to exist believing you're less than. Or believing if the mask ever falls, it's terrifying. Isabelle names that there's a management around masking and the layers, like she can unmask and say “I have ADHD!” but she doesn't say, “I have ADHD and I screwed up the finances again so I can't afford the school bill.” Something for her connects coolness to unaffectedness, not being vulnerable, or not caring what others think. Beyond the unique person who owns where they are, where does coolness come from in our culture? Marcus responds that it's often the people at the top of the social hierarchy, it's the celebrities, the role models.  Growing up for Marcus, there were the most attractive movie stars who were dyslexia, like Tom Cruise, Orlando Bloom, not Paul Giamatti. When it came to Aspergers (previous name for low support need Autism, check out more in depth on this history below) or Autism (before it was known as Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD) were superheroes, like RainMan, Temple Grandin, and that was our introduction to the autism community. If you're dyslexic, the way to make it out is to have hotness or have superhero qualities, and if you don't fit into either one of those, good luck. This brings up how celebrities are not so far removed anymore, from the days that you got these bland PR stories or tabloids, now you have people sharing their stories and unmasking on social media. Marcus names that authenticity is now a part of social media, and it's important for celebrities to have a cause, to be speaking to some aspect of this. If we'recynical, it could be a branding strategy, or it could be a shift in culture, because this emphasis on authenticity rather than hiding has been a big change in the last five years. What is Abercrombie & Fitch? The following documentary covers it pretty much:"White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie and Fitch" (Netflix documentary)DEFINITIONS:Masking: Often used in referenced to autistic folx (Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)), it also applies to folx with ADHD, OCD, and all kinds of neurodivergence (ND) and learning differences (LD), like dyslexia, dycalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, etc. It's the idea that you have to wear a neurotypical "mask" to be accepted or to engage in a world made for those that are neurotypical. You 'pretend' as if you brain and nervous system work in ways they don't. It can be (and feel like) a matter of survival. From a great article on the topic:“For many neurodivergent people, masking is a survival tool for engaging in neurotypical societies and organizations. Masking (also called camouflaging) is the artificial performance of social behaviors deemed more “socially acceptable” in a neurotypical culture.”For more on Marcus Soutra:www.For the Good Consulting.comSoutra is a dynamic, award-winning advocate, leader, and trailblazer in the field of neurodiversity (ND).

In today's episode we welcome the legendary Dr. Temple Grandin—world-renowned animal behaviorist, author, and advocate for humane treatment of animals. Dr. Grandin shares her invaluable insights on how we can foster better relationships with animals, whether in the wild, on farms, or in our own homes.

Vague feedback is a fail—neurodivergent minds need clear, direct guidance to thrive. Is vague feedback just bad management, or are we failing neurodivergent employees by not giving them what they actually need? Kim sits down with the legendary Dr. Temple Grandin to challenge common misconceptions about feedback and explore why clarity is key—especially for those who think and process the world differently. They break down the myth that all employees should “just know” how to adjust their behavior and highlight how direct, actionable guidance can be a game-changer. From a welding mishap that turned into a major learning moment to the unexpected impact of a blunt deodorant comment (yes, really), Temple shares firsthand experiences that prove why specific, actionable feedback is a game-changer and how neurodivergent thinkers bring immense value when given the right support. Spoiler: generic platitudes and abstract advice won't cut it. The bottom line? Guesswork isn't leadership. Be clear, be kind, and stop making people read between the lines.

An episode that keeps it 100. Here's what's in store for today's episode: * It's our 100th episode! A huge thank you to our incredible supporters for joining us on this journey and uplifting our conversations about autistic culture and advocacy.* Our hosts kick off this episode by revisiting the topics they brainstormed when the podcast first began—like Lewis Carroll, James Joyce, and Steve Jobs—and reflecting on whether they've covered them all or if there's still more autistic culture to explore!* We discuss how episodes featuring autistic-coded people and characters with esoteric, autistic-coded lives often provide more content than those about openly autistic public figures because there's more room for interpretation, deeper cultural analysis, and a richer exploration of autistic themes in storytelling.* Matt and Angela also discuss Sir Isaac Newton and how, if he had masked his autism, we might not have groundbreaking innovations like bridges, gravity, or space travel.* We discuss the problematic figure of Temple Grandin, examining how much of her controversial platform is rooted in her support for eugenics practices and her reliance on neurotypical name recognition.* In addition, we explore neurotypical bias and how neurotypicals often react defensively to speculation that a public figure might be autistic, revealing their own inherent ableism and rigid, preconceived notions of autism.* We also dive into Hans Christian Andersen—an autistic icon—and his story The Ugly Duckling, exploring its autistic coding and the deeper message that we are not "ugly ducklings" to be fixed but neurodiverse and beautiful swans.* Matt and Angela then read heartfelt testimonials from listeners who have found comfort, validation, and a sense of belonging through the podcast. These messages highlight how the discussions on autistic culture, advocacy, and representation have resonated with the community, helping listeners feel seen, understood, and empowered in their own journeys.* Thank you all—we love you, and we're so grateful that this podcast helps you feel seen! Here's to many more episodes ahead. If you've enjoyed the journey so far, please consider leaving us a positive review on Spotify and Apple Podcasts to help us keep spreading autistic joy and advocacy!“There's a lot of gloom and doom out there [about autism] because it's profitable. To say autism is this horrible, horrible condition that needs to be cured, instead of - it's a way of life. It's just how our people do things. It's totally natural. It is just us. This is our way.” - Matt“Every once in awhile, I meet somebody out in the real world who is a listener. And it always amazes me because I know that you [Angela] and Simon are here because I can see you and I'm talking to you directly, but I never really expect that other people out there hear anything that I say.” - MattDid you catch all 100 layers of autistic culture in our milestone episode?

He shares details of the issues he had during the time of keeping reptiles and the ethics behind it, as well as his experience in the animal testing pharmaceutical world. John shares what his previous duties were in that facility, the ethics behind it, his opinions on animal rights and PETA, and much more. Later on he highlights why he got back into reptile keeping and how he views the community today. We also discuss the snake species he is keeping currently as well as the enclosures he has them set up in.
