I have already mentioned Temple Grandin in a number of posts already, for example [this one](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/agricultural-specialisterne-rural-employment-revolution-for-those-with-autism/50615/74). The colouring book for children about Autism for the biopic on Grandin’s life starring Clare Danes, _Temple Grandin_, uses illustrations by Autistic artists from Chicago’s _Project Onward_ initiative… > [@](#): > > …All of the illustrations in this book _Temple Grandin: My Life in Pictures_] were created by autistic artists through a partnership with the Project Onward initiative. Project Onward supports the creative growth of visual artists with mental and developmental disabilities by providing studio space, art supplies, and professional guidance to emerging artists in a communal workshop environment. > …We hope that this coloring book will help raise awareness and support for Autism and that Temple Grandin’s extraordinary life story will help foster in children a sense of understanding and tolerance for those who might be labeled ‘different.’… (source: [http://www.hbo.com/assets/pdf/movies/temple-grandin/coloring-book.pdf](http://www.hbo.com/assets/pdf/movies/temple-grandin/coloring-book.pdf)) --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245)._
