In Part 2 of this six-part conversation, Temple Grandin reflects on what it was like to see her own brain—and why that mattered. This episode explores sensory regulation, stimming, deep pressure, and how early experiences shaped Temple’s ability to learn, self-soothe, and build independence. We talk visual thinking, motor memory, skill-building, and her “hardware vs software” model of the brain, alongside candid reflections on brain imaging, genetics, and validation in adulthood. Grounded, practical, and thoughtful, this conversation is for parents, educators, clinicians, and anyone interested in autism, sensory processing, neurodiversity, and human development—without the hype or oversimplification. 🎧 In this episode: – Stimming, sensory overload, and self-regulation – Visual thinking and motor learning – Autism, genetics, and brain scans – Supporting progress without limiting potential This is Part 2 of a 6-part interview series with Temple Grandin.
