I don’t know if there was recording of her at town hall, but I listened to her interview yesterday morning on KUOW, and it was interesting. if you listen through the attached link, she is on halfway through.
(BTW just a gripe about the format change KUOW did to ‘Weekday’ a while back – 1 year ago? some topics or interviewees like this deserve the whole hour- urgh)

B-squaredParticipantIt was great to get to see Dr. Grandin in person. She gave a talk along with a powerpoint presentation. She’s very witty and very direct in the way she delivers ideas, which I find refreshing. I suppose being autistic, there isn’t any other way for her. Very Genuine. The talk was less like a giant infomercial for her book than most other speakers that I have seen at Town Hall. She mentioned several times that the HBO movie about her, that starred Claire Danes, did a very accurate job depicting how she thinks. It’s a movie worth seeing in my opinion. i would imagine that the talk was recorded. On my way home KUOW was playing an interview with her, could have been from earlier in the day though. Good Stuff!

miwsParticipantI had forgotten this was coming up.
It was mentioned here several weeks, if not a couple months ago, (Jan?).
Back then it seemed so far away yet, and in fact it was parked in the back of my mind that it was coming up in June, so I was a bit surprised to see B-squared’s thread here yesterday.
I saw the movie about her last year at a friend’s place.
It was very interesting, and fascinating, and it held my attention well. I’m (self-diagnosed) minor to slightly moderately ADD, so it’s often hard for me to get really involved in some movies.
