Here is a quote from her website: Quote I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we've got to do it right. We've got to give those animals a decent life and we've got to give them a painless death. We owe the animal respect. I really like that OHG. I'm a vegetarian, but I don't have any negative thoughts or ill will towards meat eaters (personal choice 'eh). Besides, my husband eats all the animals and I love him. I really like "We owe the animal respect.". Nice thought.

Where's that cafe moderator? The reason I became a vegetarian as a child was b/c I envisioned myself in the role of the animal. I would imagine their thoughts/feelings. I totally understand where Dottie's daughter was going with the lamp saga. I did the same thing when a plant got replaced. My poor mother, she�s very INTJ. It's nice to know that in this environment we can let our guards down and just be ourselves.

Yes, Dr. Grandin has used her amazing visual spatial skills to develop livestock management systems for the humane treatment of animals raised as food sources. She actually has incorporated sensory integration theory into some of what she does with the animals (eg: using deep pressure, close quarters as a calming for them). But, the point I was making was not about animal rights. It was that Dr. Grandin is, I believe, a much better choice if you are wanting to know what it is like to have autism. She is also proof that someone with autism can accomplish great things.
