December 9th, Temple grandin will be speaking at UCF in orlando Florida.

The only downside is that tickets are $55 each.

It makes me soo depressed to know that she will be just a 30 minute drive from me, but I lack the money to buy a ticket. Her movie was the biggest eye opener for me in learning to accept my autism. It allowed me to understand why I felt the way I did, why I reacted to things the way I did, etc. I can't even begin to explain it.

The only thing keeping me from obsessing hard over it is this line:
A workshop for parents, teachers and professionals working with those with autism spectrum disorders.

As much as I would love to hear her and possibly even meet her... It's not for autistic individuals, but rather to help others understand autistics.

In any case, here's the link in case you're curious.
