Not my horo, but just what I need
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Temple Grandin is a successful autistic person.
Diagnosed at an early age, she nevertheless went on to earn a PhD in
Animal Science and became a bestselling author whose work has led to
notable improvements in the humane treatment of livestock. Although
she acknowledges that her autism has caused her problems, she also
believes it gives her abilities that non-autistic people don't have. For
example, her extreme sensitivity and extraordinary visual memory are at
the root of her unique insights into the needs of animals. If there were an
instant cure for her autism, she says, she wouldn't take it. She's an
advocate of neurodiversity. Now here's my question for you, Libra: Do
you have a supposed weakness or disability that's actually an inherent
part of one of your special talents? Celebrate and cultivate it this week.
