Blessed to see Temple
updated February 25, 2011
I was blessed and overjoyed to see/hear Temple Grandin speak again last night. She has been my hero and inspiration for many years and to be able to hear her speak twice within twelve months feels almost indulgent. I first heard her speak, and met her, in August 2010. That conference was for educators and parents and lasted all day. She was hilarious, but seemed a little fatigued and nervous. Last night, the crowd was very diverse and smaller and her talk was much shorter. She was lively, still hilarious and seemed a lot more at ease with being in the spotlight. I wish she was a personal friend of mine. I kind of feel like I know her well enough through my research and reading her books, etc. but I still wish she was my real friend. It's hard to put into words just how amazing she really is and what an icon she is for the autism community. When she was done speaking and we had given her a standing ovation, she put her head down and walked down the center aisle (where I was seated, of course). I so badly wanted to touch her arm or just her shirt, as if her power would then get on me or in me. I know, that sounds creepy or strange, but I really wanted to and the only thing that held me back was my knowledge of autism. A grab from a stranger when she was just trying to make a quick exit would have been like a gunshot to her. So, I didn't. Instead, I watched her walk towards me and come within 2 inches and I admired her and smiled. She is and always will be my hero.
