This week we are continuing our conversation with Dr. Temple Grandin on getting individuals with autism into the workforce. She discusses with us tips for parents and employers as well as the importance of early intervention and the impact it makes later in life. If you want to read more of Dr. Grandin's work, she has many books now available on Amazon including her new one "Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions."

"A person with autism is a bottom-up thinker. You gotta fill the database. See the way I understand something in the future is I compare it to someone in the database. That's the same way computers think. You gotta get them out there doing things to get data in the database."
