temple grandin: the world needs all kinds of minds 英语演讲稿：
i think i’ll start out and just talk a little bit about what exactly autism is. autism is a very big continuum that goes from very severe — the child remains non-verbal — all the way up to brilliant scientists and engineers. and i actually feel at home here, because there’s a lot of autism genetics here. you wouldn’t have any… (applause)
it’s a continuum of traits. when does a nerd turn into asperger, which is just mild autism? i mean, einstein and mozart and tesla would all be probably diagnosed as autistic spectrum today. and one of the things that is really going to concern me is getting these kids to be the ones that are going to invent the next energy things, you know, that bill gates talked about this morning.
