I don't have any "heroes" or "role models," really.

But I do admire somebody like Temple Grandin.


upvote on Temple G. I've heard a lot about her and how she is so amazing. She's on my "do research into list"


Temple is amazing. Her book Animals in Translation is one anyone who has an animal should read. I worked with horses for many years and I do believe my autism was an asset. I could see / feel things other people couldn't. People are so quick to blame animals, particularly horses, for misbehaving but if you see the world like they do, there is always a reason. Most NTs are just too egocentric to see it.
