Following on from my previous post on Cameron Herold, I think this is a really interesting TED talk given by Temple Grandin. She talks about the challenges people face who suffer from Autism, ADD and bi-polar disorders. Echoing Cameron and Sir Ken Robenson, these conditions can bring some very special talents. For instance, those who are bi-polar are know to have the ‘CEO disorder’ and those with Autism operate on a micro level – focusing on the smallest of details. In every walk of life, these skills are highly valued – we just need to tap into them.
