My name is Kevin Bagosy and I work for WPSU-TV in University Park,
PA. I was viewing your website and I thought you might be interested
in an interview with Temple Grandin from our program “Conversation
from Penn State.” It’s an in-depth conversation that talks about
autism and how it has influenced her life. She also talks about her
work as a professor of animal science at Colorado State University,
and the recent HBO film about her life.
You can find the interview at this
website:http://conversations.psu.edu/episodes/temple_grandin and
contribute to the conversation as well.
The website also contains links to speeches and other interviews she’s
done, in addition to embed code if you wanted to post any of the
segments. The full length interview is available on DVD, which can be
found on the Conversations page. If you decide to post any of the
segments, please let us know. Thanks very much, and let me know if
you have any questions about our show Conversations or about WPSU.

Amazing movie. I stumbled upon it one day and now, and boohoo’d the entire time. It was a beautiful portrayal. I’m glad you mentioned this on your blog.
