Temple Grandin, one of the world’s most influential voices on autism and neurodiversity, comes to the State Theatre for an inspiring and thought-provoking evening. Diagnosed with autism as a child, Grandin has transformed her personal journey into a lifelong mission to deepen understanding and appreciation for different ways of thinking. Through bestselling books like Thinking in Pictures, The Autistic Brain, and Visual Thinking, she has helped reshape how families, educators, and professionals support individuals on the spectrum.

Her groundbreaking TED Talk, The World Needs All Kinds of Minds, has reached millions worldwide, championing the power of diverse perspectives. Beyond her work in autism advocacy, Grandin is also a pioneer in animal science, serving as a Distinguished Professor at Colorado State University and revolutionizing humane livestock handling practices used across the globe.

In this engaging live appearance, Grandin will share insights from her life, research, and career, offering practical perspectives on autism, learning styles, and innovation. The evening includes an audience Q&A, providing a unique opportunity to hear directly from one of today’s most impactful thinkers.
