"Half of Silicon Valley's got mild autism, they just avoid the labels," Grandin said in a phone interview.
Grandin, who inspired an Emmy-award-winning movie, spoke about the strengths of autistic minds this past Friday at the Hyatt Regency Monterey. She discussed how these strengths can be identified, cultivated and turned into career paths. Her mother, Eustacia Cutler, will talk about the stresses of raising an autistic child and the importance of education.
